TUSK – The Cobra’s Bite – QAV AMERICA 39

In this high-stakes episode, Cameron and Tony celebrate a "bonkers" run for the QAV America portfolio, which is currently outperforming the S&P 500 by nearly double. After reviewing news on Seneca Foods (SENEA) and the curious 15% share price drop for Regional Management (RM) following record earnings, the duo dives into the murky waters of Mammoth Energy Services (TUSK). What begins as a look at an energy services "roll-up" quickly transforms into a true-crime corporate thriller involving a $1.8 billion contract, a FEMA bribery scandal, and a forfeited 40-foot luxury catamaran. They analyze whether TUSK is a "mammoth in the making" or a "wild pig," weighing its current status as a cash-heavy "stub" with zero debt against its history of "dirty stories" and its new pivot into aviation rentals and fiber optics. --- Episode Timestamps [00:00:00] Intro: Market "conniptions" and the US sneezing on Australia.
