Interested in what actually kills confidence in management for people here.
Not necessarily enough to sell immediately - but the thing that makes you start treating everything management says with a bit more scepticism.
If you had to pick one which does the most damage?
Interested in your comments too - can management win your trust back once they've lost it? If so, how?
Curious about what people actually do here rather than what we probably should do.
Say one of your holdings drops a meaningful announcement during market hours — quarterly, material contract, drilling results, guidance change, cap raise, whatever.
What's your first move?
Interested in the comments too: does your behaviour change depending on the type of announcement?
For example, I suspect a quarterly gets treated very differently from a cap raise or a major project update.
I've realised over the last few weeks that I consume far more company information than I actually act on.
Announcements, presentations, interviews, podcasts... there's always something new.
But very little of it actually changes whether I buy, hold or sell.
It got me thinking:
What actually changes your investment thesis?
For me it's usually one of these:
- A change in guidance
- Balance sheet / funding
- Management credibility
- Capital allocation
- Something that changes the long-term story
Price movement on its own rarely does.
Curious what everyone else has found over time.
Following on from my post last week about how people keep up with ASX announcements, one thing that surprised me was how many different systems everyone has.
Some people read everything.
Some only read price-sensitive announcements.
Some rely on AI.
Some just skim the important bits.
It got me wondering whether anyone has actually found a tool that's become part of their investing routine.
I'm not really looking for recommendations as much as experiences.
- What have you tried?
- What did it do well?
- What was missing?
- Or have you just ended up creating your own workflow instead?
Personally, I still find myself jumping between the ASX announcements page, company websites, presentations and HotCopper depending on what I'm trying to work out. It works, but it feels pretty clunky.
Curious to hear how everyone else approaches it.
If you follow around 15–20 ASX small caps...
Between announcements, quarterly reports, presentations, interviews and company updates, there can easily be 50+ pieces of communication every week (especially during reporting season).
How do you actually keep up?
I have a feeling a lot of investors miss important information—not because they don't care, but because there simply isn't enough time to read everything.
Curious how everyone here manages information overload.
