the call: Tuesday 6 October

17:22Shawn HickmanGUEST
I've got to disagree with Rudy on something, haven't I? You know, I think probably 8 out of 10 of the calls I'm on, we talk about WiseTech.
S
17:30Shawn HickmanGUEST
It's a pretty common stock and that's because a lot of people are sitting on a lot of pain.

the call: Tuesday 7 July

S
39:36Shawn HickmanGUEST
Well, yeah, but then we bought back in at $200, give or take, a cappuccino and got out at $150 because it was all wrong.
S
39:49Shawn HickmanGUEST
But the point I'm trying to make is it's a stock that most people in Australia have loved to love for a long, long time, and it hasn't rewarded them in the last few years.

Michael WayneGUEST
Still a great business and at some point might be worth looking at, but for now they've got some issues to address.
the call: Tuesday 7 April
A
12:18Andrew GeogheganHOST
What are you seeing right now? And I guess particularly if we are looking at economic slowdown, given its exposure in retail, how it's likely to affect it.
S
12:27Shawn HickmanGUEST
Last year, we had what they call, we labeled the certainty trade, a lot of people called it the certainty trade, where a basket of stocks that the market thought could never go wrong, we're going to keep on making money, we're going to keep on paying dividends, were pushed up to crazy valuations.
S
12:51Shawn HickmanGUEST
West Farmers, JB Hi-Fi, another stock we're going to look at today, Aristocrat, they just get bought and bought and bought.
30 MINS LATER
the call: Tuesday 4 November
S
14:35Shawn HickmanGUEST
It'd be hard to justify buying it here, and we have trimmed some off the top.
17 MINS LATER
the call: Tuesday 5 August
N
7:57Nadine BlayneyHOST
Or is Michael being a little bit too cautious when it comes to this strong thematic?
36 MINS LATER
N
44:29Nadine BlayneyHOST
Yeah, so that's sort of the thing, isn't it, Sean, when you're talking about turnaround stories? Like, do you have to wait till you start to see that ship turning before you get on board?
the call: Tuesday 8 July
S
37:44Shawn HickmanGUEST
When you've got a stock in the income portfolio and your benchmark is, you know, the RBA cash rate plus, say, 2%, and you've got CBA in there with 5% waiting and suddenly it's nearer 8% or 9% waiting because it's doubled or tripled.
6 MINS LATER
the call: Monday 10 March
S
4:19Shawn HickmanGUEST
And obviously, I'm not going to answer that question because I can't give personal advice.
S
4:24Shawn HickmanGUEST
But I do like the idea, which we often do, of scaling in and scaling out of positions.
6 MINS LATER
the call: Tuesday 4 February
S
5:26Shawn HickmanGUEST
This is a business which always fascinates me because it's a reseller of hardware or a non-seller of hardware.
S
5:35Shawn HickmanGUEST
And they're the leading player here and I think the second player in New Zealand.
