E45: Heartbreak, Ugly Ducklings, and the Economic History of the 20th Century + $CHRS

This week's episode of Wall Street Wildlife kicks off on a somber note as Krzysztof shares the heartbreaking loss of his beloved dog, Bunk. It's a poignant reminder that investing is ultimately about creating the freedom to spend precious time with those we love. Every moment counts.

Buckle up though, in this episode we also dive into the wild world of "ugly duckling" investments – those overlooked companies with the potential to transform into magnificent swans. We'll explore the contrasting views of Warren Buffett and a successful microcap investor, highlighting the risks and rewards of both, and why either strategy can deliver market beating returns.

We take another hard look at one of Krzysztof's ducklings, Coherus BioSciences, a company now navigating supply chain disruptions on top of its already myriad risks. We'll analyze the impact on its stock price and discuss the potential implications for investors. Plus, Luke is now a shareholder, so that's double trouble!

But that's not all! We also touch on the upcoming U.S. election and how understanding the contrasting economic philosophies of the candidates could help you make informed investment decisions. We preview our upcoming conversation with Professor Bradford Delong, author of Slouching Towards Utopia: An Economic History of the Twentieth Century.
