It’s the end of Q3 and Steve and Steve are getting ready to run through their portfolio changes. There’s lots to talk about along with some news from a UK growth stock.

In quickfire news, Steve W has been looking at a pair of US stocks that have both been falling. Nike is getting ready for a new CEO and Tesla is getting ready for the robotaxi launch.

Steve D has been investigating Humana, which fell over 20% on news its policies have been downgraded. And he’d also like you to know you can update your will for free this month…

The last three months have been eventful for Steve W. He’s been selling Apple out of his ISA, but he insists that it isn’t just to be like Warren Buffett.

In another move that in no way resembles Berkshire Hathaway, he’s also bought some US railroads. But has he figured out what to do with Southern Copper yet?

Steve D has sold some stocks and bought others over the last quarter. D.R. Horton makes way and so does Kering. But the interesting question is what to do with £4,000 in cash.
