Podcasts about The Contrarians

Youdacao from Run The Sims shares sneaky stacks for Week 12 tournaments and spots with input volatility. In the second half, JMToWin from One Week Season walks us through the Week 12 DFS slate from a GPP perspective, shares his top plays at each position, and then builds a DraftKings lineup using some of his favorite building blocks.

In this episode of Bring the Pain, I'm riding solo once again as I get ready for a huge martial arts tournament tomorrow. As always, I'll be talking about the players I'll be targeting on Sunday's DFS slates as well as why I feel these players will be contrarian. In the end, I'll give out my Ultra Contrarian Lineups for both sites as we get ready to slay another slate. Have a great day, everyone, and may the points be with you.

A few weeks ago, friend of the pod, Mark Wharrier, and I were invited to the 6th-anniversary party for the fund manager, Kernow Asset Management. CEO Ed Hugo and CIO Alyx Wood have featured on previous episodes.But today, Mark and I chat with Alyx about his approach to the UK, why he finds it an attractive market with his active contrarian long-short strategy, and which ideas he is currently most interested in and invested in. We had a great discussion, with Mark sharing his valuable perspective as a successful UK equity fund manager over many years, and Alyx talking about his investment process, the lessons he has learnt, and why he is now unemployable elsewhere, given how much fun he derives from doing what he is doing. But as ever, none of what you are about to hear is any kind of advice, but just for your information and hopefully entertainment. Please take personal financial advice before investing a penny of your money into these crazy markets.With that, please enjoy our conversation with Alyx Wood.        Brought to you by Progressive Equity.  

Ryan Detrick takes the contrarian point of view as the VIX jumps in Thursday trading. “We like that there's a lot of fear coming in,” he says, arguing that the underlying economy is strong and we could still see a Santa Claus rally. The pullbacks offer opportunities for investors like him to buy the dip; he points to data showing stocks rarely peak in October. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

In this episode, we sit down with a true legend of the tech and investing world, Fabrice Grinda, Founding Partner at FJ Labs. With a track record that includes founding the global classifieds giant OLX (used by 350M+ people), achieving over 350 exits as an investor, and being named the #1 Angel Investor by Forbes, Fabrice shares a masterclass on what it takes to win in the world of startups.We dive deep into his incredible journey, from leaving McKinsey at 23 to chasing his entrepreneurial dream, to the bold "spaghetti on the wall" strategy of launching OLX in 100+ countries simultaneously.Fabrice gets candid about nearly going bankrupt, borrowing money on his credit cards to make payroll, and the resilience it took to build a company to $200 million in revenue.You'll also hear the untold story of how he tried to buy the "Alibaba.com" domain from a then-unknown Jack Ma, and the pattern recognition that allowed him to become an early investor in future giants like Alibaba, Airbnb, and Flexport.If you're an entrepreneur, investor, or just fascinated by what it takes to build and identify world-changing companies, this conversation is packed with priceless insights.⭐ Sponsored by Podcast10x - Podcasting agency for VCs - https://podcast10x.comVC10X website - https://vc10x.comFJ Labs website - https://fjlabs.com/Fabrice Grinda on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/fabricegrinda/

For Talking Feds' latest Contrarian episode, Harry speaks with Norm Eisen, Jen Rubin, and Neera Tanden about the reopening, revelations, and reprisals that dominated the week's news. They break down where the Democrats went wrong in the shutdown fight and whether the cases against James Comey and Letitia James are collapsing. But, of course, with newly released documents exposing some of Jeffrey Epstein's connections to Donald Trump, the panel takes a hard look at what can be surmised from the cryptic messages. The question on everyone's minds: what in the world did Epstein mean when he called Trump the dog that hasn't barked?  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

We may have two wait a few decades for the tell-all Todd Phillips memoir that finally explains what led to JOKER: FOLIE A DEUX being, well, JOKER: FOLIE A DEUX. But it's fun to speculate, even though it potentially being a genius prank doesn't affect the experience of watching it as much as you'd think. Did we at least like it more than the original JOKER?

My guest today is Eva Yazhari – General Partner at Beyond Capital Ventures and one of the most original thinkers in the world of impact investing.Trained on Wall Street, Eva left finance to found Beyond Capital, turning her expertise toward building impact-driven markets. Beyond Capital Fund was structured as a nonprofit, a 501(c)3 – not to do charity, but to meet the moment. She describes it as “almost like a Trojan horse” – a structure that made her approach more acceptable to early supporters, even as she operated with full VC rigor.She knew in 2009 that most investors did not yet believe emerging markets could deliver both returns and impact. So she created a structure that was more palatable – donors could get a tax deduction, while she quietly ran the fund like a VC from day one. There were no grants. No concessionary capital. They always behaved like a VC.The result was a top‑quintile track record: a 0.3% loss ratio, markups, and over 100 million people reached through portfolio companies' products and services.But the nonprofit structure also kept the firm smaller than it needed to be. “I think it was the right thing to do, but I think it was a little bit of a mistake in the growth of the firm.”In 2019, someone approached her after a talk and simply asked, “How do we invest?” – and that was the moment she knew the market was finally ready.She and her team launched Beyond Capital Ventures, a for‑profit venture fund, carrying forward the same thesis with a structure that allowed investors to participate directly in the returns.Today, Beyond Capital Ventures invests in early-stage companies across East Africa and India. It's one of the few woman-led impact VC firms globally, with a team that's 70% based in the markets they invest in.Eva's approach is hands-on, thesis-driven, and unafraid to push boundaries. She refuses deal flow from Europe or the U.S. because she believes the best opportunities come from being on the ground. As she says, “I'd rather the principal who runs our Nairobi office meet a founder while filling up his water bottle, than us meet them through some other channel.”Beyond Capital has pioneered something radical in VC: the equitable venture structure. 10% of the GP's carry is allocated to portfolio founders. Not only does it create community – it's created collaboration. That motivates companies across her portfolio now to share customers, talent, and capital.She measures impact as rigorously as she measures financial performance. Her team uses a three-tier framework aligned with IRIS and SDG metrics. And she's clear-eyed about what success looks like. “Everybody is focused on sourcing better and investing better. Nobody is focused on adding value, and that is exactly where everything goes right or wrong.”Eva's career is proof that creativity, service, and capital don't have to be separate. And that you can build something that lasts if you're bold enough to hold them together.Listen in.—Connect with SRI360°:Sign up for the free weekly email updateVisit the SRI360° PODCASTVisit the SRI360° WEBSITEFollow SRI360° on XFollow SRI360° on FACEBOOK—Additional Resources:- Beyond Capital Ventures website- Eva Yazhari LinkedIn- Eva Yazhari Instagram- Book ‘The Good Your Money Can Do'- The BCV Podcast

The fourth installment of Fresh Immigrants, Rotten Fascists focuses on the rise and fall of Lonesome Rhodes, as depicted in Elia Kazan's A FACE IN THE CROWD. The story of a populist media superstar that grows to wield immense influence over the American public? How could that be relevant today? And yes, that's America's Grandpa Andy Griffith playing the maniacal Rhodes in his feature film debut.Thank you for checking this new project out, whether you are a long-time Contrarians fan or someone who's just trying to listen to people talking positively about immigrants and negatively about fascism.

Don and Tom open with an honest reflection on market déjà vu—how today's investing climate echoes the speculative excesses of 1929 and 2008. Citing Andrew Ross Sorkin's new book 1929: Inside the Greatest Crash in Wall Street History, they discuss the modern “financialization” wave: private equity, venture capital, crypto, and private credit being repackaged for retail investors and even 401(k)s, often under looser regulation. They warn listeners about “mark to make-believe” valuations and Wall Street's relentless drive to sell complexity to the masses. The conversation moves from cautionary history (leveraged trusts of 1929, margin loans, and subprime mortgages) to present-day parallels like Bitcoin ETFs and private-market tokens. The takeaway: avoid opaque, speculative products; stick with transparent, low-cost diversification. In the Q&A, they answer listener questions about simplifying global portfolios with VT vs. VTI/VXUS, and about selling or donating concentrated stock positions from employee plans. 0:04 Opening disclaimers and acknowledgment that the episode isn't meant to scare investors 1:18 Historical parallels—1929, 1987, 2008—and the feeling of “market déjà vu” 2:10 Introducing Andrew Ross Sorkin's new book 1929 and his NYT column on modern speculation 3:20 Financialization and the loosening of investor protections in the 2020s 4:33 Wall Street's constant invention of confusing products that favor sellers 4:58 Robinhood's Vlad Tenev and the illusion of democratizing risk 6:12 Lowering the barriers to private markets and what that means for investors 7:26 Echoes of 1929: leveraged ETFs, margin-like structures, and “Russian-doll” debt 8:29 The perils of leverage and speed of modern market declines 9:02 Private-market tokens and the “mark-to-make-believe” problem 10:25 Overvaluation, lack of liquidity, and Wall Street's interest in 401(k) assets 11:41 Historical leverage shifts—from banks to private credit 12:58 Why trusting financial “authorities” can be dangerous 13:32 Emotional honesty: people lie, and investors must self-protect 14:42 Jealousy, lottery-thinking, and envy as behavioral pitfalls 15:36 Investing as elimination—avoid what's complex, costly, or confusing 16:48 Listener Q&A: two-fund simplicity (VT + BND) vs. multi-ETF tinkering 18:38 The temptation to overweight U.S. equities 20:00 Contrarian case for international exposure (VXUS) 21:15 ESPP stock cleanup: when to sell concentrated holdings 22:44 Charitable giving of appreciated stock for tax efficiency Learn more about your ad choices.

In a world where deepfakes and digital twins are becoming normal, I'm drawing a line in the sand.This episode is my brand promise — I will never use AI to create a digital twin of myself for content. Not now, not ever.Because trust matters more than convenience.Because authenticity is my advantage.And because spontaneity, the laughs, the pauses, the unplanned thoughts, can't be replicated by a machine.AI has its place. I use it to streamline my business, analyze data, and create systems that free up time. Shoot, I used it to type most of this podcast description! But there's one thing it will never replace: me showing up as me.So if you see a video, a podcast, or a post with my name on it, you can trust that it's 100% real. Unless I'm fighting Darth Vader or flying a spaceship, you'll always know it's actually me.This is my stand against the blur. It's my contrarian move in a world chasing shortcuts.Please Give A Review If you like the show, it'd be awesome if you could take 10 seconds and leave a review on Apple Podcasts (click here to leave a review) Connect With Stephen Visit our website at www.lifebuilder.co Connect with me on LinkedIN Get the show and additional episodes on YouTube About the Podcast If working a 9-5 for 60 years so you can retire with a little money and die a few years later is what you want to do, then this is not the podcast for you. Stephen is an executive coach that works with ambitious people to build the life that they want, personally and professionally.This podcast is about contrarian investment strategies around time, energy and money to build the 4 types of wealth and utilize lifestyle design to create the life we want. The interviews are with hi-earning individuals on how they make money so you can copy us and grow wealth too!

Horror icons are not allowed to die - but that doesn't mean they are not allowed to try. And so, Fred Krueger gave it a shot in the boldly titled FREDDY'S DEAD: THE FINAL NIGHTMARE. Predictably, critics panicked at the idea of a world without Elm Street terrors and stamped a 23% rotten Tomatometer score on Freddy's efforts.

All these years later, we know FREDDY'S DEAD was far from the “final nightmare”. Freddy went on to fight Jason Voorhees, be meta in New Nightmare, and get a grim makeover in 2010. But word on the street is Rachel Talalay's Elm Street entry was meant to be the end of Freddy at the time. Does that context make it a better or worse movie? And can we ever come to terms with the darkness and campiness fighting to co-exist in this franchise?TIMELINE00:01:26 NES00:02:10 Feedback!00:09:20 Real Talk00:56:20 The Future & Patreon Stuff- Interested in more Contrarians goodness?

Talley Léger charts the S&P 500's path to 7,000, citing declining recession odds, robust topline revenue growth, and margin expansion. He expects 3Q to be another quarter of double-digit growth. He goes over the state of the consumer and looks at discretionary spending patterns. He thinks that sector is oversold and thinks it could see a bounce.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Take a hit of whatever your drug of choice is - that's your best chance to grasp how QUANTUM COWBOYS scored 100% on the Tomatometer. Yes, universal acclaim is a little easier to attain when the review pool is shallow, but still, it's weird when a nearly incomprehensible movie gets so much praise. Listen to Alex & Julio as they try to wrap their minds around a trippy plot and even trippier animation — and a lot of multiverse-related nonsense.TIMELINE00:01:24 Quantum Cowboys00:12:38 Contrarians Corner- Wanna know how we really feel about QUANTUM COWBOYS?

So yes, we're going to cut QUANTUM COWBOYS some slack even though some of our qualms from Contrarians Corner also stand in this Real Talk segment.

We're back with volume 5 of Police & The Paranormal, packed with even more haunting true stories of things cops saw while in the line of duty from police and members of law enforcement Not every call ends with a simple arrest or routine report. Sometimes, police officers face things that defy explanation. From ghostly figures returning from the grave, to terrifying demonic voices in the back of a squad car, to encounters with cryptids and blinding lights in the dead of night — these are the stories that still haunt the men and women behind the badge.
