Episode notes

I came down with a mad cold this week and couldn't record a podcast. I don't think you want to hear voice any more nasaly than it already is.

Anyways, this week I'm releasing a Replay of one of our most popular episodes ever featuring The Shrub (or Shrubbery Capital).

We had a lot to cover on this conversation. We dive into Shrub’s background, working for event driven funds and family offices, his recycling investment thesis, structuring a trade, why we should we use stop losses and technical analysis, and how we can seamlessly transition into new industries and take what we learned before from other places and apply them to new esoteric ideas.

If you like what you heard, please follow Shrub on Twitter @agnostoxxx

Also, a big thanks to the following sponsors for making the podcast a reality!

Mitimco

This episode is brought to you by MIT Investment Management Company, also known as MITIMCo, the investment office of MIT. Each year, MITIMCo invests in a handful of new emerging managers who it believes can earn exceptional long-term returns in support of MIT's mission. To help the emerging manager community more broadly, they created emergingmanagers.org, a website for emerging manager stockpickers.

For those looking to start a stock-picking fund or just looking to learn about how others have done it, I highly recommend the site. You'll find essays and interviews by successful emerging managers, service providers used by MIT's own managers, essays MITIMCo has written for emerging managers and more!

I spend nearly all my time reading Tegus calls on existing holdings and new ideas. And I know you will too. So if you’re interested, head on over to tegus.co/valuehive for a free trial to see for yourself.
