The Investors Roundtable #34: How Should We Think About Inflation, Deflation, Reflation?

For this episode of The Investors Roundtable (#34), I've been getting a lot of questions by friends and family about the $1.9T stimulus that's been passed, what this means for markets, money being infused into the economy, as well as mainstream media networks discussing what this could mean for inflation. So, with all that in mind, I thought it would be a good idea to have our panelists share their thoughts on how should we think about Inflation, Deflation, Reflation?

Ep. 157 - With Poker and Investing, Know the Game Your Playing and Master Your Strategy with Annie Duke, Author of "How to Decide: Simple Tools for Making Better Choices"

I'm very excited for this episode. As you see in the title, my guest today is Annie Duke. One of my earliest memories of watching sports, believe or not, was watching the 2003 and 2004 World Series of Poker. Seeing legends like Chris Moneymaker and Greg Raymer win the title, then all the tournaments in between, was so cool, and all I wanted to do was play poker. Another stand out amongst the greats playing these now televised events was, you guessed it, Annie Duke.Since retiring from the game in 2012, Annie is an author, corporate speaker, and consultant in the decision-making space. Annie’s latest book, How to Decide: Simple Tools for Making Better Choices, was released in the fall of 2020 from Portfolio, a Penguin Random House imprint. Her previous book, Thinking in Bets, is a national bestseller. As a former professional poker player, she has won more than $4 million in tournament poker. During her career, Annie won a World Series of Poker bracelet and is the only woman to have won the World Series of Poker Tournament of Champions and the NBC National Poker Heads-Up Championship.Prior to becoming a professional poker player, Annie was awarded a National Science Foundation Fellowship to study Cognitive Psychology at the University of Pennsylvania. Annie is the co-founder of The Alliance for Decision Education, a non-profit whose mission is to improve lives by empowering students through decision skills education. She is also a member of the National Board of After-School All-Stars and the Board of Directors of the Franklin Institute. In 2020, she joined the board of the Renew Democracy Initiative. Long story short, she's incredible, and I'm still wrapping my head around what I learned from speaking with her.For more information about Annie Duke, please visit: https://www.annieduke.com/You can Follow Annie Duke on Twitter @AnnieDuke: https://twitter.com/anniedukePlanet MicroCap Podcast is on YouTube!

For this episode of the Planet MicroCap Podcast, I spoke with Joe Boskovich. He is the Founder and Co-Partner of Old West Investment Management. We did an interview for the SNN YouTube Channel, where we dive deep into Joe's investment strategy, so I invite you all to check that out. Joe recently published a write-up on Howard Jonas, an investor who has built a billion dollar empire, who, according to Joe's write-up, "founded IDT Corporation in 1990 as a provider of a call re-origination service. He took his company public in 1996 and built it to the point where today it generates $1.5 billion in revenue per year from the sale of communications and payment services. IDT has also been incredibly successful at creating value for its shareholders by using the cash flows from its core business to fund a wide array of growth initiatives. In the past decade IDT has spun-off 5 public companies and sold a 6th after which it provided a special dividend to shareholders." Howard is one the best microcap investors, founder, CEO, capital allocators you've never heard of, and Joe has done a ton of work and due diligence on all his businesses.For more information about Old West Investment Management, please visit: https://www.oldwestim.com/You can follow Joe Boskovich on Twitter @boskovic64: https://twitter.com/boskovic64Planet MicroCap Podcast is on YouTube!

Ep. 154 - Roku Thesis, Betting on Kambi and the Pains of Being a Mets, Jets, Islanders Fan with Elliot Turner, Managing Partner, CIO of RGA Investment Advisors

For this episode of the Planet MicroCap Podcast, I spoke with Elliot Turner. He is the Managing Partner and CIO of RGA Investment Advisors. I'd been following Elliot on Twitter for a long time, and finally worked up the courage to ask him on. Elliot is currently a co-host on MOI Global's, "This Week in Intelligent Investing" podcast, a great show that I highly recommend, where he shares his insights and investing thesis on a pretty regular basis. So, for today's episode, we chatted about things we find interesting: streaming wars, sports betting, and most importantly, New York sports. We happen to represent opposite sides of the New York sports fan spectrum, and support each other through this difficult time as a NY sports fan. I had a great time, and you will enjoy Elliot's in-depth look at Roku and Kambi.For more information about Elliot Turner and RGA Investment Advisors, please visit: https://www.rgaia.com/You can Follow Elliot Turner on Twitter @ElliotTurn: https://twitter.com/ElliotTurnPlanet MicroCap Podcast is on YouTube!

Ep. 149 - Closing the Gap: Building Generational Wealth with Impact and Discipline with Keith Beverly, CFA, CFP®, MBA, Managing Partner & CIO of GRID 202 Partners

For this episode of the Planet MicroCap Podcast, I spoke with Keith Beverly, CFA, CFP®, MBA. He is the Managing Partner and CIO of GRID 202 Partners. Keith participated on a panel at our August 2020 virtual event, titled, “The Business Case for Changing the Landscape of Financial Services”, that explores how we can make financial services a more diverse and equitable ecosystem. I’m excited to share my chat with Keith because he is a pioneer in the financial community. After getting his start in finance working at The Motley Fool, he could’ve easily gone the stock picking route - starting a fund or asset manager. However, Keith followed his passion for closing the wealth gap in the United States, and his solution for this is using a holistic approach through sound financial planning. Listen in as Keith describes GRID 202’s approach to building generational wealth with impact and discipline.Planet MicroCap Podcast is on YouTube!
