This week Cameron (with guest co-host Phil Muscatello from [Shares For Beginners](https://www.sharesforbeginners.com/)) runs a full QAV deep dive on Magna International (MGA), the Canadian-born automotive giant that quietly makes everything from your car door to the entire vehicle itself. They cover the wild founder story of Frank “Straw Mattress” Stronach, the EV overreach that cost the company over a billion dollars in writedowns, the tariff headache courtesy of Trump, and why the numbers are now looking good enough to add to the portfolio. Plus a quick look back at how previous stock picks from the show have performed, with NBR up 31% leading the charge.

This week we do a full deep dive on BWLPG (ticker: BWLP), one of the world’s biggest LPG shippers, and why the Strait of Hormuz closure is sending their spot charter rates into the stratosphere. We also cover the bond market’s grim verdict on Trump’s economic record, oil heading toward $140 a barrel, and the fascinating story of Y.K.

This week we run through a stack of Pulled Pork results that are absolutely cooking — Pitney Bowes up 40%, Eastman Kodak up 81%, and the US dummy portfolio now sitting at 110% since inception versus the S&P’s 62%. Then Cam does a deep dive on Deutsche Bank — 156 years old, scandal-ridden, and somehow posting their best year ever. Plus Spirit Airlines collapses, the Iran War drags into its ninth week, and Ford beats estimates by three times but still slides.

With our portfolio nearly double the S&P 500, we are diving deep into Millrose Properties (MRP) — a brand new REIT spun out of home builder Lennar that we decided did not pass the QAV sniff test. We dig into the weird world of land banking, shadow banking, private credit, and why a company can show $3.6 billion in operating cash flow while only pulling in $600 million in revenue.

On this episode we run through our latest portfolio numbers — the QAV dummy portfolio is up 115% since inception versus the S&P’s 60%, and some individual picks like Kodak and Scripps are going absolutely bananas. We dig into the week’s big news including the Iran war’s economic ripple effects, the tariff refund mess, and the Cal-Maine antitrust saga. Then Cameron does a full Pulled Pork on Oportun Financial (OPRT) — a subprime FinTech lender to underserved Latino communities that’s dirt cheap, freshly activist-investor-cleaned, and either a turnaround gem or a cautionary tale.
