Happy Thanksgiving! I hope you had a great time with family and friends this Holiday Weekend.

This week, I've got Dan Bianchini on the podcast. Dan is a retail investor that knows more about $MEEC than almost anyone. He's heavily invested (as of this episode) in the special situation, and he spends an hour discussing why.

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 a ton, and I know you will too.

Finally, 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!
