[REPLAY] Carvana $CVNA: Will It Survive? (July 2022)

What better time to replay my 2022 Twitter Spaces on Carvana (CVNA) and its ability to survive a potential bankruptcy than this week? If you haven't heard, CVNA has ripped over the past two years, rising from a low of ~$4/share to over $100/share. This is easily one of the most controversial stocks on Twitter. You either LOVE or HATE Carvana. There's no in-between. Fast-forward to 2024 and my Twitter audience has grown, so a lot of people probably missed this conversation. It's also a great way ...

[REPLAY] Calvin Froedge: An Unconventional Path To Common Sense Investing

I'm stoked to share my conversation with Calvin Froedge. Calvin has one of the most unique investing backgrounds I've encountered in four years of the podcast. He didn't graduate high school. Instead, he spent his late teen years working for his dad's machinery business. He explored other business ventures in his early twenties before moving to Panama. Today, Calvin spends his time researching new investments and running his Shipping Data company, Marhelm. I thoroughly enjoyed this conversation....

David Bastian: GEN Restaurant Group (GENK), Coal, and Retailers

David Bastian of Kingdom Capital is BACK for another podcast. This time we're diving deep into GEN Restaurant Group (GENK). DISCLOSURE: I/WE AND DAVID OWN SHARES AS OF THIS PODCAST. We are free to change our minds and trade in/out of this position after the podcast is released. I'll say it again, none of this is investment advice. Do your own work. Don't trust two randoms with a microphone. I think it's a unique situation that reminds me of Kura Sushi (KRUS), which went from $14 to $120 in a few...

Alberto Alvarez: Uranium, Ero Copper, and PGMs

Alberto is one of the most underfollowed accounts on Twitter/X. He provides tremendous value for generalist investors willing to hunt in commodity markets. This week, Alberto dove deep into uranium assets, Ero Copper, and the bull case for Platinum Group Metals (PGMs).

Auke Hoekstra: The Bull Case For Renewables

I loved this conversation for a few reasons. One, Auke is an incredibly smart person. You'll pick that up quickly. Two, I don't agree with everything Auke believes, which makes for a fascinating conversation. Auke is a staunch renewable energy advocate. I'm on the fence. I think we can live somewhere in between where fossil fuels play their role, and if it is economical and just as good, renewables should be there too. We spend almost 90 minutes discussing: The bull case for renewable energy Myt...

Left Field Investing: Acne, Fungus, and Prison Stocks

I'm excited to share my conversation with Left Field Investing. Left Field is quickly becoming one of my favorite Substack research accounts. He has a knack for finding off-the-beaten-path small-to-micro cap ideas that nobody else is writing about. Another reason I love this guy is he has a unique, non-investment background. In other words, he cut his teeth the old school way, teaching himself the game without a silver spoon. If you like what you hear, check out his Substack: https://leftfieldin...

John Swallow: Building A Different Mining Company (Idaho Strategic)

I'm very excited to share my conversation with John Swallow, CEO of Idaho Strategic Resources (IDR). IDR is a small cap gold producer that does things differently. They generate cash flow. Then use that cash flow to explore their massive land package for gold and rare earth elements (REEs). John is a true owner operator. Not only is he the CEO, he owns a lot of the company's stock, barely makes more than the average mining geologist on his team, and has a long-term ownership mindset. Most junior...

Aaron Edelheit: Dumpster Diving in Cannabis

I hope you guys enjoy my podcast with Aaron Edelheit on the Cannabis industry. I had Aaron on the podcast two years ago to dive deep into the cannabis space. Since then, the industry has done nothing but incinerate investor capital. And that's precisely why I wanted to interview Aaron. I love his transparency, humility, and ability to objectively assess where/what he got wrong, and how he plans on fixing his cannabis investing process in 2024. Thanks again to Aaron for coming back on the show. I...

Chris Abbott: Extreme Dumpster Diving & Preferred Stocks (LFMD, CSSE, VTNR, SNLH)

I'm excited to share my podcast with Chris Abbott of 1035 Capital. Chris is a dumpster diver investor. He scours the corners of the market looking in the ugliest places and finding the ugliest stocks. I love it. I've got a soft spot for distressed/hated ideas. Maybe its because I'm reading/studying distressed investing currently. Or maybe its because dumpster diving feels like "real" value investing. We discussed a handful of ideas, including CSSE, VTNR, LFMD, and SLNH. It's wild that Chris has ...

This was a thoughtful conversation. Dan is a serious retail investor and doesn't shy away from company red flags or legitimate bear arguments. It was very refreshing. I learned...

[REPLAY] Judd Arnold: Seeking Convexity in Offshore Energy

I first interviewed Judd in April. Since then, the interview has become my most popular episode. This is partly due to Judd's acumen, deep knowledge on the subject matter, and my ability to shut up and listen. The offshore energy thesis has played out as Judd described in April. And this episode is a great way to get up to speed if you want to learn more about it. I still think we're in the early innings of this offshore energy cycle.
