Winter might be over, but in markets, the clouds can roll in at any time. And when they do, only the sure-footed survive. With the Melbourne Spring Racing Carnival in full swing, we're once again taking inspiration from the track - this time, looking for the “wet-track wonders” of the ASX.  These are the companies that can handle tougher terrain, those with strong balance sheets, reliable earnings, and management teams that know how to keep moving forward when the ground gets heavy. In this episode of Buy Hold Sell, Livewire's Chris Conway is joined by Marcus Ryan from Yarra Capital Management and Nick Pashias from Antares Equities. Together, they'll explore what defines true resilience in the sharemarket and where investors might find the best footing if conditions deteriorate. Before they dive into the stocks, Chris asks Nick what traits he looks for in businesses that can weather the storm - from fiscal discipline and predictable cash flows to that all-important pricing power. Marcus then weighs in on which sectors tend to thrive when the economic going gets tough. As well as analysing three ASX names, for good measure, the guests each share a stock in their portfolio that they might look at differently if conditions head south.  Please note this episode was filmed on 22 October 2025.

Grant Hackett is a three-time Olympic gold medallist and undoubtedly one of the greatest distance swimmers of all time. Since stepping out of the pool more than 15years ago, he's crafted a second chapter as an executive and now as CEO of Generation Development Group (ASX:GDG), a diversified financial services business that has grown fifteen-fold under his leadership to become an ASX 200 company.Grant is a unicorn leader. His experiences as not just an elite sportsperson, but one of Australia's greatest, give him a unique perspective on leadership, motivation, discipline, and resilience. He's not someone you'd want to back against — and that mentality has flowed through into how GDG has intentionally scaled its culture as it has grown.This is both a personal and business story of reinvention, drive, strategy, and thoughtfulness.

In this episode, we chat to Matt Fifield, Executive Chair of Cyprium Metals, an emerging Australian copper producer focused on bringing the Nifty Copper Project back into production. They recently completed an A$80 million equity raise, strengthening their balance sheet and securing new institutional support from Tribeca and the Tanito Group. With the rebuild of the Nifty operation now underway, the company is on track to deliver first copper cathode within the next 12 months, positioning itself as the only ASX-listed copper developer expected to achieve near-term production. We discuss the company's next milestones, from construction and refurbishment progress, to partnerships with Macmahon and strategies for mitigating execution risk. Matt will also share his insights on funding strategy, the evolving copper market, and how his background in global mining investment has shaped Cyprium's disciplined approach to growth. KEY TAKEAWAYS Cyprium Metals is an emerging copper producer focused on restarting the Nifty Copper project, a brownfield site in Western Australia with a substantial sulphide reserve. The restart is being executed in two phases: Phase 1 involves bringing the heap leach and SX-EW plant back online for copper cathode production within the next 12 months, followed by Phase 2 The company successfully completed an $80 million equity raise with support from both existing shareholders and new institutional investors, including Tribeca and Tanedo Group A strategic partnership with Macmahon, a major mine contractor, is mitigating execution and schedule risks by providing deep capacity in construction, project management, and mining BEST MOMENTS "What you have to figure out is you have to figure out what do you need to do and then what do you need to stop doing... and then you just need to simplify and get to a place where you can crawl your way out of the situation." "The first phase of what we're doing is we're turning on the heap leach and it generates some really significant early cash flows for us." "We're ahead of the wave of greenfields. This is the time for brownfields. This is the time to restart old plants... you can deliver them faster."

US bond yields rose ahead of consumer price index data, while in commodities, oil surged 5% after Washington sanctioned Russian firms and gold gained on renewed geopolitical risk. In company earnings news, Tesla shares reversed earlier losses after results, Honeywell lifted its outlook on aerospace strength, and Las Vegas Sands led the S&P 500 on gains in Singapore.

S&P futures are up +0.1% and pointing to another flat open. Asian equities were mostly lower today.

The FTSE 100 stood out with a +0.7% advance, supported by strength in miners and energy stocks as oil prices climbed. Companies Mentioned: GE Vernova, Alphabet, Meta Platforms

The price of gold & silver tanked by more than 5%, while the ASX 200 fell back as well after its record-setting day on Tuesday.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The ASX opened down, and has stayed down all day (-0.7%). Energy is the clear winner of the major sectors (+1.32%) thanks to a modest rise in oil overnight and a positive update from WDS (+3.5%). Gold stocks opened sharply lower but mostly held the line for the remainder of the day. No doubt gold will be watched closely from here to see if the correction continues. One item of interest today for lithium is PLS CEO Dale Henderson telling Bloomberg that power storage is helping to offset lower EV sales in the US. He said the energy is growing “leaps and bounds”. The sector should keep growing each year for the next decade.  That may have helped PLS finish flat today despite lithium shares overseas down overnight. LTR was down -1.4%. Tech shares got a strong bid with XRO (+1.75%), CPU (+0.43%) and XYZ (2.2%) up and about plus smaller names even better NXL (+3.7%) and WBT (+18.8%).

The Hold rating was maintained as near-term production is steady and cash flow is expected to improve, but the longer-term growth and returns remain uncertain.And Bell Potter has initiated coverage of Austco Healthcare (ASX:AHC) with a buy rating and a 12-month price target of 55cps.

The ASX 200 hit record highs today, closing at 9068 up 78 points (0.9%) in a very strong session. Today, it was banks and industrials doing much of the heavy lifting — along with a solid contribution from the gold sector. MQG led the charge, jumping over 5% on the back of news it had sold some of its data centre assets — good news all around. The big kicker came at 11:30 am, with jobs data showing an unemployment rate of 4.5%. That gives the RBA plenty of room to cut rates further on Melbourne Cup Day.

The banks were steady if unspectacular, while insurers and wealth managers shone. HUB soared 10.5%. AMP also rallied 8.5% on the back of a positive quarterly update.The technology sector, however, missed the memo on record highs — WTC and XRO both slipped around 1.4%, continuing their recent stumbles.The resources sector was busy once again. BHP edged slightly higher, while FMG and RIO eased. The gold miners were the standout as gold hit fresh record highs. NEM up 3.4% and EVN up 3.3%. The rare earths and lithium stocks came under pressure after Scott Bessent talked of an extension of the 100% tariffs deadline if China eased export restrictions. LYC fell 5.7%. Other rare earth names substantially also weakened in sympathy.In corporate news, MYX rose 11.3% after it received court approval for its takeover by Cosette, with no wriggle room left — though FIRB approval is still required. RIO is searching for strategic partners to develop a huge copper deposit inBougainville. TWE edged 1.8% higher after its AGM, where Chairman John Mullen discussed ongoing challenges and sales developments in China.On the economic front, the jobs report confirmed unemployment rising to 4.5%, with a steady participation rate. That combination pushed bond yields lower, the Australian dollar weaker, and equity markets higher — a triple treat for investors heading into Friday and more US results.Asian markets rise, Japan up 0.5% China up 0.1% and HK down 0.4%.10-year yields fell to 4.17% on jobs data.European markets slightly lower.

In this episode, we chat with Geoff McNamara, Co-Founder & Non-Executive Director of Tesoro Gold who are an ASX-listed company, looking to advance its flagship El Zorro Gold Project in Chile, home to the 2-million-ounce Ternera deposit with an exploration target of up to 3 million ounces. They have recently raised $34M so we'll discuss how the funds will be used, support from shareholders and new institutions, highlights from the recent Scoping Study, drilling plans across regional targets, and the pathway to full permitting. KEY TAKEAWAYS Tesoro Gold recently raised $34 million to fund a multi-pronged strategy: completing a pre-feasibility study by mid-2026, advancing regional exploration drilling, and fully permitting the El Zorro project within 18 months. The El Zorro project is a unique, unconstrained 2-million-ounce gold resource in Chile, open in all directions and not at high altitude, with significant potential to grow to the 3-million-ounce target and beyond by linking parallel ridges like Tenore and Drone Hill. The scoping study showed attractive post-tax economics, generating a Net Present Value (NPV) over $650 million and a 50% Internal Rate of Return (IRR) at a $2,750 US dollar gold price, demonstrating the project's high competitiveness with an All-in Sustaining Cost (AISC) of $1,216 US dollars. Chile is a favourable mining jurisdiction, and the company has commenced the permitting process, locking in critical infrastructure including power (20km away) and water (30km away via a desalination plant partner), which are crucial for the project's development BEST MOMENTS "We've made the first intrusive-related gold system discovery in Chile. So it's quite a unique business and story." "The deposit is open in all direction, so a lot of that growth will just be stepping out, north, south, east, and west... it's certainly a pathway to well beyond 3 million ounces in a single deposit." "The all-in sustaining cost is 1,216 US dollars. So it's a highly competitive all-in sustaining cost." "The best leaders and entrepreneurs aren't the ones who know it all, they're the ones humble enough to keep learning through others."
