** Please remember to review our Buying Guidelines to understand which cap bands you should be looking at and other important considerations.

DISCLOSURE

Please review our trading and disclosure policy.

FOR NEW MEMBERS

If you’re new to QAV Light, here’s a quick reminder on how it works.

  1. We send you an email every Monday advising which stocks we are adding to our Light portfolio.
  2. You can copy our trades, but please remember to review our Trading Guidelines to understand which cap you should be looking at and other important considerations. And consult a financial planner before making any decisions.
  3. We don’t recommend that you add stocks which are already in our portfolio. Their position on our buy list might have changed since we recommended them. Just start with the stocks recommended after you become a member.
  4. If one of the stocks we add breaches one of our sell conditions, we will sell it from our portfolio and you’ll get an email advising of the trade. Again, you can copy our trades, but seek financial advice before making any decisions. And please check your Rule #1 price (see Trading Guidelines).
  5. If you come across any QAV terminology that you don’t understand (eg Rule 1, 3PTL, Possibles, etc), please review our terminology guide or just email us for clarification.

That’s it for today!

If we decide to buy or sell something, we’ll let you know.
