Chris Abbott (1035 Capital): Dumpster Diving In Preferred Stocks Pt. 2 ($LLAP, $FATBP, $ASPI)
I'm excited to share my latest conversation with Chris Abbott of 1035 Capital Management.
Chris buys stocks that you've never heard of. When you do hear about them, they make you want to vomit.
He dumpster dives into hated market corners, abandoned equities, and downright ugly situations.
This week Chris pitches three off-the-beaten path ideas: LLAP, FATBP, and ASPI.
I guarantee you'll learn something new because there's at least one company you haven't heard of here.
Finally, a big thanks to our sponsors for making this episode happen.
