Kuppy is back on The Value Hive. It's been too long since Kuppy has joined the podcast. This week, we chat Brazil, commodities, mean reversion, bombed-out industries/sectors, and investor strategy. We spent a lot of time on investing strategy, intra-year adjustments, and how to deal with disappointing yourself versus the opportunity set. I loved this conversation. Lots to learn and implement into your practice. NOTHING YOU HEAR IS INVESTMENT ADVICE. THIS IS EDUCATION/ENTERTAINMENT ONLY.

Tim Elliott is an old school geologist. The kind that would create physical maps using nothing but a pick, shovel, and a can of beans to sustain himself. This episode is a Mining Geology 101 for generalist investors. Tim provides deep insights into a geologist's perspective on the junior resource investing space. He explains what to look out for, what to avoid, what a great company/situation looks like, and more.

Replay of my conversation with Twitter/X user @ContrarianCurse. This was his first ever podcast and it was well received. I hope you guys enjoy. Excited to have @ContrarianCurse on the podcast for the first time. I also believe it's his first ever podcast. I had a blast chatting with "Suspended Cap" about his switch from analyst to PM, how he covers industries and analyzes stocks, how he thinks about idiosyncratic risk, and his thoughts on brands and retail companies. This was such a fun episode. Stock junkies will love this one.

This is a replay of my June 27th conversation with @Sustainabledud1 on all things Rare Earths (REE) ... before they were popular :) I hope you guys enjoy!Remember: EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY FOLKS. Stoked to have Sustainable Dude on the podcast to dive deep into the world of Rare Earth Elements (or REEs). They're messy, complicated, opaque, and rich with opportunity. We talk processing, refining, production, China's dominance, how the West can build its supply chain, and individual stock names. This was terrific. Give Sustainable dude a follow and subscribe to his Substack. It is WELL worth the read.
