Our new show How She Does It with Karen Finerman delves into all things women, money, and power every week… But the truth is, we can't talk about women in power without also looking at women's financial power. Even now, in 2023, women are woefully behind when it comes to investing and realizing the kind of financial freedom that can only come from building wealth. Thankfully, there are incredible women working tirelessly to make that very thing happen, and Gargi Pal Chaudhuri, Head of iShares Investment Strategy Americas at BlackRock, is one of them. This week, she joins us to discuss what inspired her to become an investor, what keeps her going when she runs ultra-marathons, and why women are willing to save their money — but not as willing to invest their money.  BLACKROCK and iSHARES are trademarks of BlackRock, Inc. or its affiliates (together “BlackRock”).

For the thoughtful, long-haul investor, the news this past week has been frustrating and confusing. What happened with GameStop? What is a “short sale” and how did the whole thing get started on Reddit? Karen Finerman, President of Metropolitan Capital Advisors, breaks it all down for us, and talks about what it means to invest with confidence. In Mailbag, we talk about saving in a HYSA vs. saving in the stock market, and whether to maximize a retirement account or put money somewhere else. In Thrive, 2021’s ultimate debt pay-off plan. 

Inspired by Kate Welling & Mario Gabelli's new book "Merger Masters," the According to Sources Podcast is interviewing each participant from the book, starting with Karen Finerman of Metropolitan Capital. In this incredibly honest and candid interview, we discuss why Karen has in recent years AVOIDED the merger-arb world, despite beginning her career there. She discusses the future of women in finance, and recounts with vivid detail the painful collapse of the UAL buyout in 1989, and what lessons were learned from it.

In Episode 126, we welcome entrepreneur, author, and investor, Karen Finerman. The episode starts with an interesting connection – Karen and Meb’s wife both attended the same high school in Los Angeles, and apparently, it’s the only high school in the U.S. with a working oil rig on campus. From here, Karen gives us a brief walk-through of her history after graduating Wharton, heading to Wall Street, where she eventually launched her own hedge fund. Meb asks about the framework she used in the hedge fund as she launched. Karen tells us they were fundamentally focused. Coming out of the savings and loan crisis, there were many smaller banks that had been unfairly stigmatized. Many were absurdly cheap with great balance sheets. Karen was able to take advantage, and developed an expertise in the space. She notes it was interesting how badly the market could mis-price an entire sector. She continues by telling us her strategy was mostly long focused. Her shorts were generally idiosyncratic, intended to hedge the portfolio. Beyond that, tax efficiency was a big focus. Next, Meb and Karen dig into her methodology for evaluating specific investments. Karen gives us the details, mentioning fundamentals, growth at a reasonable price, users that tend to be inelastic on price, and various other details, culminating with a specific example of a company she likes. Meb asks what Karen is seeing now. She tells us she’s a little spooked by the tariff situation. Perhaps a big exogenous risk. She then changes gears, going into details about a specific company she likes – Alphabet – noting what she finds attractive (and where she feels they could improve). But overall, she’s very impressed. The conversation gravitates toward “selling”. After all, buying is generally the easier part – it’s when to get rid of an investment that can be tough. Karen tells us that if an investment hits their target return, they’ll lighten their position. These leads into a conversation about investment theses and how that plays into selling. The years 1999 and 2000 come up, with Karen telling us she feels her group did the right thing then, avoiding getting sucked into the bubble. The new metrics at that time (stocks trading at a multiple of eyeballs) just didn’t make sense to her. She notes there are some similarities today, as there are certain companies that are losing lots of money despite posting growth numbers. This dovetails into a discussion of Tesla. It turns out Meb and Elon Musk shared a few words about short-selling on Twitter on the morning we recorded this podcast. Surprising no one, Elon is not a fan of shorts. Listen in for the details. There’s way more in this great episode: the ETF-ization of investing… Karen’s book… How to address the great investing education problem… and of course, Karen’s most memorable trade – actually, she shares two, a good one and a bad one. On the good side, there was an undervalued convenience chain in which Karen got involved at the right time and enjoyed a nice payday when Diamond Shamrock showed up at the buyer’s table. The bad trade relates to when United Airlines was supposed to go private. Karen didn’t factor in the possibility that the deal would collapse. Just how bad was the damage? Find out in Episode 126.

As a hedge fund manager and “The Chairwoman” on CNBC's Fast Money, Karen Finerman knows a thing or two about taking risks. In this episode, Karen speaks candidly about her career, mistakes she's made, and how she knew at age 15 that she wanted to be a risk arbitrageur.

MI Forum with Karen Finerman of Metropolitan Capital Advisors. Interviewed by Jody Miller of Business Talent Group. As a woman running an investment bank she co-founded, Karen Finerman noticed numerous ways that she and her female colleagues sabotaged themselves professionally and personally. Why couldn't her friends bring the logic they applied at work to their personal decisions? Why were they uncomfortable with their desire for wealth and success? Why do 80 percent of women have a man in charge of their money? At this Milken Institute Forum, the successful hedge fund manager and CNBC investment commentator, who has also raised two sets of twins, will discuss "Finerman's Rules: Secrets I'd Only Tell My Daughters About Business and Life." The book is rich with not necessarily politically correct ideas for helping women overcome the barriers they face in reaching their goals. With the author's contrarian wit evident throughout, "Finerman's Rules" clues women in on how to get ahead, say no, unplug, raise kids well, deal with the inevitable double standards they face and take control of their financial independence.
