Kerry Stevenson: Ready to Invest After Cashing Out (Gold, Biotech and More)

‘I actually cashed in the whole portfolio aside from one coal stock … and two gold stocks,’ she said on the sidelines of the Rule Symposium. ‘I’ve been sitting in cash up until about two and a half weeks ago, when I’ve come back in with quite big licks on four stocks, and I’ve still got some cash where I’m looking at some of the small caps.’

One gold stock Stevenson is ‘very happy’ with is Spartan Resources (ASX:SPR,OTC Pink:GYYSF), formerly Gascoyne Resources, which she said has undergone a turnaround since Managing Director Simon Lawson took the helm.

She’s also looking outside the resource sector at biotech — Argenica Therapeutics (ASX:AGN) is a stock she likes in that sector. It’s developing novel neuroprotective therapeutics to reduce brain damage for people who have had strokes.

Stevenson also discussed trends in Australia’s resource sector and why investor education is so important to her.

‘If you’re not investing your money, you’re going backwards. Because inflation is here to stay, and no matter which way you look at it, if you’re not trying to get ahead of the inflationary curve, you’re going backwards,’ she said.
