Episode notes
Value Investing's Cyclical Nature
- Value investing is cyclical, with periods of outperformance and underperformance.
- Remember this during challenging times, as seemingly “broken” markets create the best opportunities.
Shorting Challenges in 2024
- In 2024, Evan Tindell's fund lost money on short positions in MicroStrategy, Digital World Acquisition Corp (DWAC), and GameStop.
- These losses stemmed from the difficulty of shorting meme stocks driven by retail speculation, despite their lack of viable business models.
Shorting Strategy
- When shorting worthless companies, wait for a price surge before entering.
- Consider borrow fees and diversify your short book to manage risk.
