No, that's not a typo in the headline. We're currently running our Commodities in Focus series, so this episode of Buy Hold Sell is a commodities takeover. We're also departing slightly from our traditional format, with our guests pitching stocks that they like across five different commodities segments. That's right, it's wall-to-wall buys for this episode - because who wants holds and sells when it comes to commodities stocks. Sharing their best and brightest picks across the precious metal, bulk, base metal, battery/energy transition metal, and energy segments are Romano Sala Tenna from Katana Asset Management and Emanuel Datt from Datt Capital. Please note, this episode was recorded Wednesday, 9 September 2026

Dividend Aristocrats are US stocks that have increased their dividend for 25 consecutive years. The ASX has just one: Soul Patts, on a 28-year streak. But Australia’s dividend royalty might need to make room in the court as a cluster of aspiring Aristocrats deliver metronomic-like distributions to their investors. But Australia’s dividend royalty may soon need to make room. Take AUB Group, which has delivered 20 consecutive years of dividend growth at over +10% annually. While the starting yield on some of the companies discussed below might not blow your hair back, consistent earnings growth supports those growing dividends. That combination, as we know, can lead to powerful compounding and total returns for patient investors. In this episode of Buy Hold Sell, we’ve recruited the expertise of IML’s actuarial guru Dr Michael O'Neill and Dr Peter Gardner, from the house of dividends, Plato Investment Management. Our guests rate five consistent dividend growers, plus two potential future Aristocrats.This episode was filmed Wednesday 21st October, 2026.
I’ve always been fond of the phrase "wide economic moats." Beyond the jargon, it calls to mind heroic battles, impenetrable fortresses, and all manner of defence tactics and strategies. While modern companies may not be dodging a rain of arrows or pouring hot oil from the parapets, they are defending their turf against an onslaught of AI disruption, geopolitical shockwaves, sticky inflation and market volatility. To survive in today's market, a moat is made from three core pillars. Consistent High Return on Invested Capital (ROIC), strong pricing power, and a rock solid balance sheet. For this episode of Buy Hold Sell, I'm joined once again by Henry Jennings of Marcus Today and Rudi Filapek-Vandyck of FNArena to examine four quality growth companies (plus two picks from our guests) that embody these traits, and test whether their economic moats are holding strong or beginning to crumble. There are even props involved. This episode was filmed Wednesday 7th October, 2026.
Quantitative data vs. qualitative insights — why not both?

The key to any great institution is the management team behind the scenes. Take the example of Justin Holbrook, who has guided the Newcastle Knights from wooden spooners to NRL grand finalists in the space of a year. And the ASX has long been home to stellar management teams who have turned their companies into global winners. In this episode of Livewire's Buy Hold Sell, I'm joined by Sean Roger from Perpetual Asset Management Australia and Joseph Koh from Blackwattle Investment Partners to deliver the calls on five ASX stocks with respected management teams, and share their pick for the ASX management team to beat.
Finding the right balance between attack and defence can be the difference between winning and losing. That will be the case when the Dockers meet the Lions at the MCG tomorrow, and it's also the case for ASX investors looking to build a winning portfolio. In this edition of Buy Hold Sell, I'm joined by Sean Roger from Perpetual Asset Management and Joseph Koh from Blackwattle Investment Partners.
