The Alabama Saltwater Fishing Report is your best resource for the Gulf Shores Surf Fishing Report, Orange Beach Fishing Report, Dauphin Island Fishing Report, Mobile Bay Fishing Report, and Alabama saltwater fishing everywhere in between. For the anglers looking for a Gulf Shores surf Fishing Report, Gulf State Park pier fishing report, Orange Beach Fishing Report and Fort Morgan fishing report, look no further than the Alabama Saltwater Fishing Report. Every week we bring you an "onshore" report for those anglers interested in a gulf shores surf fishing report or a gulf shores pier fishing report. This week we're talking to David Thornton AKA the “Pier Pounder” who is giving us the Alabama Fishing report all the way from the Flora Bama to Fort Morgan. David Thornton has a well awaited announcement about the Gulf State Park Pier now being open to the public for fishing again and it is almost running at 100% functionality. Mr. David walks us through what is biting in the surf and off of the pier right now and how to rig up to catch those species.  For our guys looking for the Dauphin Island inshore fishing report or the Orange Beach Inshore Fishing Report, Capt. Branden Collier has what you need to know to catch more speckled trout, redfish, and tripletail and how to catch each of these species in the area. The tactics and tips we discuss here each week can be applied to many areas when fishing Alabama's coast and other states along the Gulf of Mexico. Captain Collier has been having awesome success nearshore with mangrove snapper, Spanish mackerel, red snapper as well as other species. We talk about how he uses his side scan to set up on a wreck and what he is using for bait and rigging to have success on these nearshore reefs and rigs with the snapper and mackerel species. He has also been doing really well with the flounder still, and we talk about how to locate the desired inshore species that you're targeting right now with the water temperatures still being pretty high, even though they seem to be decreasing just a tad as we move out of the heat of summer.  For the Alabama Fishing Report offshore and the Gulf fishing report, tune in for this week's report with Capt. King Marchand. You never know what you might get in the offshore Gulf Fishing report each week. We cover nearshore fishing from Captain's running center consoles and fishing for red snapper, grouper, triggerfish, king mackerel, cobia, and more. When we head to blue water, we have contributions from some of the best Captain's on the tournament circuit and off who fish for tuna, wahoo, mahi-mahi, and billfish. Captain King has had some great offshore trips recently, and we dive deep on the importance of catching as much bait as possible, how to use that live bait to catch the tuna as well. We also talk about how Captain King Scouts a rig offshore to locate these tuna and how to set up your equipment to be able to see these tuna down in the water column, and then we dive deep on how to get those tuna that seem to be staying down deep to come up in your baits to be able to catch them. It's all brought to you whether it's good, bad, or ugly.

Short sellers have had a tough time of it over the past decade. The era of free money lifted all boats, including companies that would perhaps otherwise be candidates for short selling.  Today's market is radically different. Central banks have lifted rates in a desperate attempt to control inflation. Global equity markets have performed well, but much of that performance can be attributed to the tech titans of the Nasdaq.  Consumers have less money to spend, while costs are up and top line revenue is down.  This is fertile hunting ground for short sellers.  Short selling is risky, and beyond the capacity of most normal investors. But that doesn't mean that normal investors can't take on board short seller's methods and positions, and steer clear of certain companies accordingly.  I speak to a lot of hedge fund managers about their methods, however most aren't willing or able to expose their actual short positions.  Dr David Allen, who manages Plato's Global Alpha Fund, has no such qualms.  In this episode of The Rules of Investing, hosted by David Thornton, Allen explains his red flag system for identifying shorts and some of the companies it's identified. He also discusses his his long process, which draws on elements of growth, value and quality. And it wouldn't be an episode of ROI without Allen naming some of the companies he has conviction in right now.  Note: This episode was recorded on Tuesday September 19, 2023.

There is a good reason why Australia's sovereign wealth fund, the Future Fund, maintains a 16% allocation to private equity. Returns, returns, returns. Private equity, and the lucrative returns it offers, has traditionally been the restricted domain of institutional investors and off limits to retail investors. Ellerston Capital's JAADE Private Assets Fund bucks that trend by offering retail investors exposure to unlisted Australian growth companies. Like private equity, JAADE's managers act as a partner with the companies it invests in by holding a space on their respective boards. It's a model that clearly works. As of June this year, the retail fund has returned 14.48% pa over three years and almost 18% per annum since inception. In today's episode, Livewire's David Thornton sits down with Jayne Shaw, Investment Director at Ellerston Capital and analyst for the JAADE fund. Jayne didn't take the typical road into funds management. Initially trained as a nurse, she went on to take a number of roles in leadership positions in healthcare organisations. This appropriately explains why Jayne looks after the healthcare allocation within the JAADE fund. She also explains why the “carpark indicator” is a great way to know when the deals are on in private equity.  Topics include: the evolution of private equity over the last few years, today's deal flow, the first order principles that guide Jayne's process; and the investment case for Mable and Prospection – two companies that are shaking things up in the healthcare space.  Timestamps 0:00 - START 2:30 - An uncommon journey 5:03 - Private equity has changed 10:17 - Dry powder 12:16 - Counting cars 14:00 - JAADE  16:00 - It all comes down to the people 19:58 - Hard conversations 21:30 - Earnings runway 22:25 - Mable 25:40 - Prospection 32:39 - Why healthcare companies are good investments 37:07 - Don't put too much weight in the past 42:00 - A company for the bottom drawer

Value investing is all about buying stocks that are trading below their intrinsic value.  In practical terms, that often involves investing in companies and sectors that have been shunned by the market due to particular macro headwinds.  "It should be no surprise as to where the pockets of opportunity are," says Tim Carleton, Auscap Asset Management CIO and today's guest on the Rules of Investing.  "They're in the more cyclical sectors that people are most concerned about from an earnings perspective." In today's interview with Livewire's David Thornton, Tim runs through two retail stocks in the Auscap Long Short Australian Equities Fund that fit this profile. I won't give them away, but one is the only stock on the ASX with a return on equity above 50%, while the other is a long-term compounder poised to take market share.  He also discusses why he's avoided the tech and energy sectors, what he expects from earnings season, why he doesn't put much weight in earnings beats and misses, and why lithium is a crowded trade (yet remains invested in it).  Note: This episode was recorded on July 26, 2023.  Timestamps 0:00 - START 1:30 - Have we avoided a hard landing? 3:30 - Australian base case 4:30 - Reporting season 10:00 - Stock prices follow earnings 12:30 - A checklist for finding value 14:20 - Consumer discretionary in 2023 17:55 - Two COVID beneficiaries primed for growth 20:50 - Avoiding tech and energy 23:00 - Lithium is crowded, but does that matter? 29:20 - Look past the market's time horizon 44:00 - Bottom drawer retail stock

Hello and welcome to the rules of investing, brought to you by Livewire Markets. I'm your host David Thornton. A year ago I sat down with Oscar Oberg, lead portfolio manager at Wilson Asset Management. His thesis then was that small caps were beaten down and due some mean reversion.   Alas, small caps haven't done much since then, with the Small Ords returning 3.91%. Yet Oscar's thesis also remains unchanged. In fact, it's gotten stronger! Not only is he positioning for a rebound in smalls and microcaps, he's doing it with overweight exposure to consumer discretionary, a sector that has been tarred and feathered by today's macroeconomic landscape of high inflation and high rates. As Oscar puts it, “there's no mean reversion without consumer discretionary.” In the upcoming episode, Oscar lays out this thesis and the companies that make it up. He also discusses the relationship between the tech rally and small caps, generating return with short-term tactical trades, how he deals with low liquidity, and the primed aged care stock currently under takeover.   Here's a taste of what you can expect.

Investing hasn't been easy these past few years amid a pandemic, soaring inflation and monetary tightening. The ASX200 did 1.4% in 2020, 17% in 2021 and then -1% last year. Hugely volatile.  But it's in times like this when the cream rises to the top. As most fund managers struggle to match the benchmark, Datt Capital's Absolute Return fund has returned an enormous 25% per annum over the last three years. It's a staggering performance that most fund managers would give their left arm to get. In this week's episode of The Rules of Investing, Livewire's David Thornton speaks to Emanuel Datt, founder of Datt Capital. Datt's modest demeanour belies the rockstar performance he's generated. Not one to rest on his laurels, though, he's about to launch a new small-cap fund that seeks to outperform the Small Ordinaries Index by 5% per annum. While the fund may be new, Datt's experience with small cap stocks certainly isn't - he bought market darling Afterpay at $6, long before it became Australia's largest ever takeover at a cool $39 billion.  Datt discusses: the processes and investments that netted the absolute fund such stellar numbers; how he found Afterpay; why he believes now is the time to get into small caps; and the investment opportunity he sees in rare earths.  Note: this episode was recorded on Tuesday May 16, 2023 Timestamps 1:50 - The man behind Datt Capital 3:20 - Opening up shop 4:30 - Achieving 25% p.a. 7:30 - Rare earths 12:00 - The opportunity in small caps 19:00 - The sectors leading small caps 21:00 - Spotting Afterpay 24:00 - Red flags 27:00 - Finding sustainable companies 30:10 - Inflation can't be understated 31:20 - Winning big with Adriatic Metals (ASX: ADT)

The Smorgon family is one of Australia's great wealth building stories. The family emigrated from Ukraine in 1927, opening a Kosher Butcher shop in Carlton soon after. Through the 1930s, the family expanded into wholesale meat and canning industries and, by the time the decade was up, were exporting meat and canned fruit goods to the United Kingdom. Victor Smorgon AC and the family established Smorgon Consolidated Industries in 1942, and this is when things really started to take off. In the 50s, the family added paper and packaging businesses to their repertoire, while the 80s saw the addition of a glass and plastic packaging company. But it was the Steel industry where the Smorgon family displayed its appetite and aptitude for disruption, with Smorgon Steel going on to become the country's largest vertically integrated producer of steel and steel products. In 1995, with a heavy heart, Victor and the family divested Smorgon Consolidated Industries. In its place came Victor Smorgon Group, which is today one of Australia's premier family offices.  In today's episode of The Rules of Investing, Livewire's David Thornton sits down with Peter Edwards – the late Victor's grandson and CEO of Victor Smorgon Group.   We discuss: The Smorgon family's flair for disruption The way a family office invests, and The multi strat fund that has recently opened its doors to outside money.

When volatility strikes, investors invariably become more reflexive and less disciplined.  But investing with reckless abandon is almost certainly going to lead to bad outcomes.    Experienced investors stick to the game plan - a game plan borne of experience and a process that's been tried and tested through the full business cycle.   On today's episode of The Rules of Investing, David Thornton sits down with Matt Williams from Airlie Funds Management.  Matt cut his teeth in 1993 when he joined Perpetual Investments as an equities dealer. That was followed by 17 years at Perpetual, working alongside heavy hitters including Anton Tagliaferro, Peter Morgan, and John Sevior. There he held the role of head of equities from 2011 to 2015. He joined Airlie in 2016, with a remit that includes Australian share strategies for institutional clients and the Airlie Australian Share Fund for retail clients. This year, Matt was recognised as one of the best in the business and inducted into the Hall of Fame, joining a small and distinguished list of Australia's best fundies (including the three Perpetual alumni mentioned above).    Matt explains why the Aussie market has fared better than its global peers, where valuations are and where they're going, and the one Aussie company Matt reckons is made for Berkshire Hathaway's portfolio.  Note: this episode was recorded on Thursday December 13, 2022.

Growth investing has ruled the roost for the last decade. If you wanted astronomical gains, Big Tech was the train you needed to be on. Didn't matter which carriage, they were all coupled together.    But that all went belly up this year, with the growth-focused Nasdaq losing roughly a third of its value thanks to inflation, rates and slowing output.   If 2022 has taught us anything, it's that a regime change in markets has arrived with a bang. In the latest episode of The Rules of Investing, Livewire's David Thornton sits down with Sam Ruiz, a Portfolio Specialist in the Equity Division at T. Rowe Price. Sam hasn't lost any enthusiasm for growth investing. Instead, he acknowledges that the rulebook that worked so well through the 2010s should be put back on the shelf. Among many other key insights, Sam believes that the choice between growth and value is not the binary choice many make it out to be. The growth stocks that will excel in this market, and there are many, will share many many attributes with their value-focused cousins.   Topics discussed include the muscle memory plaguing markets, the changing face of growth, and the importance of capital. He also goes deep on a widely dismissed traditional sector that he believed could grow 2x in the coming years!

It's been a crazy year for virtually every asset class. Commodities have been particularly interesting, though, because earlier this year, when most everything was selling off, commodities went on a bull run!  It's a highly volatile sector, exposed to just about every macroeconomic variable there is, so investing in it takes a unique skill set. But as you'll learn, it's a first-order beneficiary of the big trends that will define markets over the coming decades. And that means massive returns.  In today's episode of The Rules of Investing, Livewire's David Thornton is joined by Luke Smith from Ausbil Investment Management. Luke runs Ausbil's Global Resources Fund. The fund invests in natural resources companies using a top down and bottom up approach. It also goes short to help manage risk.   Luke explains why he's so bullish on battery metals, how the decarbonisation supercycle will pull commodities along for the ride, the mismatch between the nearish micro narrative surrounding China and what he's seeing at the micro level, and how he finds companies with relative value.  Note: this episode was recorded on Thursday November 11, 2022.  Timestamps 1:20 - Ausbil Global Resources Fund 4:10 - High demand, low supply in battery metals 9:30 - Falling demand in the West, accelerating demand in the East 10:15 - Macro fears distracting from micro strength 11:50 - Positioning through the commodities bull market 12:40 - Lacking investment in new supply 13:30 - Lithium spodumene price goes 25x 16:00 - Lithium, Cobalt and Copper are key for electrification 18:30 - Energy was on a tear before Russia-Ukraine 19:00 - Don't write off fossil fuels 20:50 - Separating signals from noise 24:00 - Don't be negative in a negative market 30:00 - Don't equate Aussie EV penetration with demand for electrification 32:00 - As relative value shifts, so should your exposures 37:00 - Commodities fundamentals are stronger than the macro narrative 41:08 - Betting against the market in 2020 43:10 - A Decarb stock for the bottom drawer

The old adage that "past performance is not an indicator of future returns" is possibly more relevant in today's market than it's ever been.  When the market is driven by momentum, as it has been through the past decade, piling onto winners has paid off. And why wouldn't it? Earnings have been easy to fuel when debt costs next to nothing, in a market where the shareholders reward the pursuit of market share - no matter how it's achieved. In today's episode of The Rules of Investing, David Thornton sits down with Mark Landau – Co-Founder and Chief Investment Officer at L1 Capital.  Mark started L1 in 2007, alongside Raphael Lamm. Their flagship long-short strategy has returned a whopping 18.7% per annum since inception, and was ranked in an HSBC survey as the ‘Best Performing Hedge Fund Globally' in 2015 and ‘Top 20 Hedge Fund Globally' in 2016, 2017 and 2021.  The episode covers an enormous amount of ground. We discuss everything from the uniqueness of today's market, where L1 is deploying capital, what makes earnings sustainable, the importance of balance sheets. Mark also tells us why the investing playbook of the last decade should be put back on the shelf.  Timestamps 1:15 - Origins of L1 Capital 3:20 - Lessons from the GFC 5:30 - The problem with long-only investing 6:00 - Quality value strategy 8:10 - Today's unprecedented market cycle 10:00 - No quick fix for inflation 19:55 - How macro informs a bottom-up approach 22:30 - Where L1 is deploying capital 24:30 - Expensive defensives  28:00 - Sustainable P/E ratios 30:30 - Importance of under-geared balance sheets 31:10 - Pricing power 32:00 - Management teams on notice 35:30 - What makes a good short 42:50 - 3 favourite questions

The world is opening, but not to calm and stability.  Rather, COVID has left a trail of destruction. And I'm not talking about the health implications. The pandemic has left economies and markets rattled by supply chain problems, inflation, and rate hikes.  Big tech has been hit the hardest as investors flee long-duration stocks.  However, despite sharing an acronym, the big tech stocks have been split down the middle. Some companies are awash with cash and trading at extremely attractive multiples. Others look like emperors with no clothes.   This is one of the topics Livewire's David Thornton tackles with Mary Manning from Alphinity Investment Management. Mary is a Portfolio Manager for the Alphinity Global Fund and Alphinity Global Sustainable Fund. She's been investing in global markets for over 20 years with stints working for Ellerston Capital, Oaktree Capital and Soros Fund Management.

Investment management can be a brutal business. When you're talking small caps, the brutality is amplified orders of magnitude.  Between March 20 and September 3 last year, the ASX Small Ordinaries Index sky-rocketed 44.38%. That's the kind of performance that will make a fund manager euphoric, but also nervous. Mean reversion is a thing.  Eventually, you need to pay the piper for that kind of performance. And pay the piper the small cap sector most certainly did, in the form of a 25% downward correction.   But just as what goes up must come down, what goes down will eventually go up. And we may have passed that inflection point, with the Small Ords Index up over 11% in the last month.  In this episode of The Rules of Investing, Livewire's David Thornton sat down with Donny Buchanan, Co-Founder, CIO and Portfolio Manager for the Lakehouse Small Companies Fund.  Donny's fund has been swept up in the sell-off. But frankly, so has just about every fund. What's important is how they set themselves up for the recovery. You make money in the buying, after all.   Donny discusses the problems associated with valuing tech growth, the importance of believing in and sticking to your fund's mandate, and the lessons he's taken away from this latest sell-off.  He also offers up a small cap tech stock that is quietly forming a monopoly by creating its own ecosystem.
