https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/intellectualinvestor/Resetting_Defaults_v2_20-10-19_MP3.mp3

In an age when attention is currency, time becomes extremely valuable. In this podcast, Vitaliy shares how he updated his time management practices after reading the book.

https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/intellectualinvestor/Downhill_Racing_Meets_Value_Investing_v2_20-10-08_MP3.mp3
During the past several years, the Federal Reserve neatly groomed, manicured and then finely polished investment slopes for all asset classes by lowering interest rates to unprecedented levels. But ubiquitously rising valuations cover up a lot of mistakes and often a lack of skill. In this podcast, Vitaliy explores the ways that the market has been softened and groomed by the Fed — and what could happen when that reverses.

https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/intellectualinvestor/Letter_from_the_Value_Investing_Mental_Asylum_or_How_I_Embraced_Stoics_v2_20-09-28_MP3.mp3
Vitaliy would be lying if he told you that over the last few years investing was not frustrating. Over that time, he’s felt like he was driving the wrong way on a one-way growth highway. Albert Einstein defined insanity as “doing the same thing over and over again but expecting a different outcome.” Vitaliy can relate to this on some level. In this podcast, Vitaliy shares why he is not writing this from a mental asylum. He found solace in Stoicism.

In this podcast, Vitaliy takes you inside the Berkshire Hathaway Annual Meeting in Omaha.
