Stoked to have PurpleDrinkCapital on the podcast for his third appearance (Value Hive record??). We chatted robotics, NVDA, market blow-off tops, trading psychology, technical analysis, and energy. I love having PurpleDrink on because I learn something new about trading, investing, and my process along the way. Finally, a big thanks to our sponsors for making this episode happen.MitimcoThis episode is brought to you by MIT Investment Management Company, also known as MITIMCo, the investment office of MIT.

Hey guys -- I'm stoked to bring you my conversation with Tomasz Nadrowski, PM of Amvest Terraden Capital. Tomasz is one of the sharpest investors in the metals space, focusing on the "Major Minor" critical minerals like gallium, germanium, tellurium, and other critical materials needed to defend countries, arm armies, and build tomorrow's reality. We spent over an hour diving into this complex and crazy world. I hope you enjoy it. As always, nothing is investment advice. You're a fool if you think this is advice. It's mining ... you will likely lose all your money in the process.

The last time I had CEO of Magna Mining Jason Jessup on the podcast his goal was to create the next FNX Mining. That would be a great outcome for everyone as FNX went from $0.25 to $35 at its peak. But here we are a year later, and Jason is thinking bigger. FNX is no longer the goal. Think closer to Teck Resources ... or even bigger. Jason explains his plans for NICU over the next 2-3 years, his goals for the company, and how they can grow into a multi-billion dollar Sudbury mining company. WARNING: NICU IS MY LARGEST POSITION. NOTHING IS INVESTMENT ADVICE. DYODD. DON'T TRADE BASED OFF THIS PODCAST. IF YOU DO YOU ARE AN IDIOT. I hope you enjoy our conversation!

NOTHING YOU HEAR IS INVESTMENT ADVICE. THIS IS EDUCATION/ENTERTAINMENT ONLY. I hope you guys enjoy my podcast with Timothy Call of Capital Management Corp. Tim spends his time finding and investing in unloved small-caps that lead their little market niches. These companies are often down a lot over the past year, trade at low valuation multiples, and pay shareholders via dividends/buybacks/and debt reduction. I love this podcast because Tim uses three trade ideas that are all different. One's a consumer health company, another is a school supplies manufacturer, and another one is a gold miner. If you like new idea generation, you will love this podcast. NOTHING YOU HEAR IS INVESTMENT ADVICE. THIS IS EDUCATION/ENTERTAINMENT ONLY.
