I'm excited to share this week's podcast with Judd Arnold. This is Judd's third appearance on Value Hive and he never disappoints. This week we're doing something completely different. We're dissecting one of Judd's past off-market deals that involves the TSA, The US Government, tons of patent litigation, and an 60+ year old inventor who made something obvious that wasn't so obvious. It's a great Christmas/Holiday break from my current content of investor letters and individual stock ideas. I hope you enjoy it. Please note that neither Judd Arnold nor myself are legal professionals or attorneys and we DO NOT play ones on the internet. Nothing you listen to is investment or legal advice. Also, we couldn't do this show without our sponsors! Mitimco This episode is brought to you by MIT Investment Management Company, also known as MITIMCo, the investment office of MIT.

I'm excited to share my podcast with Chris Abbott of 1035 Capital. Chris is a dumpster diver investor. He scours the corners of the market looking in the ugliest places and finding the ugliest stocks. I love it. I've got a soft spot for distressed/hated ideas. Maybe its because I'm reading/studying distressed investing currently. Or maybe its because dumpster diving feels like "real" value investing. We discussed a handful of ideas, including CSSE, VTNR, LFMD, and SLNH. It's wild that Chris has fewer than 200 followers on Twitter. Let's change that. Follow him @1035_capital.

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. If you enjoyed this podcast, check out Dan on Twitter @danban__. Finally, thanks to the following sponsors for making the podcast a reality!
