Kontrarian Korner #5 - Unemployed Value Degen

I had Steve from Unemployed Value Degen on the podcast the other day. He’s a relatively new Substack writer, and I was interested to chat with him on Transocean $RIG and several other companies he’s interested in. You can find his Substack here. If you want to watch it on YouTube, here’s a link. We spent a good bit of time chatting about Transocean and offshore, but we also covered several other stocks, including:

* Sibanye Stillwater $SBSW and his thoughts on the mining sector

* Peabody Energy $BTU and his thoughts on their buyback program.

* He also talks about some stocks that are frequent targets of short sellers.

* B. Riley $RILY , and why he thinks their core business could improve after a rough couple years, and some of the assets they could sell.

* GameStop $GME , and how he thinks there could be value there outside of the speculative mania.

* Medical Properties Trust $MPW , and his thoughts on the issues with a main tenant and the discount to book value.

* His book recommendations: Opening Skinner’s Box by Lauren Slater and On The Nature Of Mass Movements by Eric Hoffer
