On this episode we run through the dummy portfolio , which is crushing the S&P at 125% time-weighted return, and dig into this week’s Pulled Pork: TriMas (TRS), a Michigan-based maker of hand pumps, dispensers, and packaging components that’s been quietly dumping divisions and sitting on a billion dollars in cash. The numbers look great on paper until Cameron and Tony notice the operating...

On this episode we hit episode 50 and celebrate with a portfolio update showing we’re nearly double the S&P 500 all-time, before diving deep into Millrose Properties (MRP) — a brand new REIT spun out of home builder Lennar that had the AIs screaming “stay away.” We dig into the weird world of land banking, shadow banking, private credit, and why a company can show $3.6 billion in operating...

On the club episode we do a deep dive on Commercial Vehicle Group (CVGI) — a boring-as-batsh*t truck cab outfitter that somehow jumped 20% the day after Cameron added it to the QAV Light portfolio.
