Welcome back, everyone! I sat down with my new friend Daniel Wedman, the head of special situations at Sopris Capital. We delved into a variety of topics, focusing on the dynamic world of Bitcoin and crypto investments, and the evolving landscape of capital markets.Daniel's Career JourneyDaniel shared his fascinating career trajectory, starting from his early days at Citigroup on a special situations team, to his roles at SL Green and Wheelock Street Capital. His journey into the crypto world began as a side hobby of mining Bitcoin, which eventually led him to join Galaxy Digital's Bitcoin mining team.Sopris Capital and Investment StrategiesAt Sopris Capital, Daniel initially joined to build out the real estate arm but soon found himself pitching innovative investment ideas to Andy Paul, the open-minded founder. One notable strategy involved an ASIC arbitrage, where they imported ASICs from Asia, mined Bitcoin while waiting for them to sell, and then sold them at a premium.Bitcoin ATMsWe discussed the lucrative business of Bitcoin ATMs, which Daniel stumbled upon through a meetup in New York. Sopris Capital started with 50 machines in Canada and expanded to 200 in the U.S., with plans for further growth. Daniel highlighted the strong cash-on-cash returns and the significant market potential, especially among the underbanked.Stranded Energy and Bitcoin MiningDaniel explained the concept of stranded energy and how Bitcoin mining can utilize cheap, otherwise wasted energy sources. He shared an example of a curtailed wind energy project in West Texas, where they built a data center to mine Bitcoin using cheap wind energy.Economic Shifts and Investment OpportunitiesWe touched on the broader economic shifts and how they create opportunities for agile and flexible investors. Daniel emphasized the importance of reading the tea leaves and understanding the second and third-order consequences of policies aimed at helping working-class Americans.Compliance and Industry MaturationThe conversation also covered the increasing compliance requirements in the Bitcoin ATM industry and how this is leading to consolidation, with smaller players being acquired or going dark. Daniel sees this as a positive development, signaling the maturation of the industry.Future of Energy and ComputeDaniel shared insights from his time at Galaxy Digital, emphasizing the critical role of energy in the future of digital networks and compute. He expressed optimism about breakthroughs in energy technology, which could unlock a new era of innovation.Closing ThoughtsIt was a pleasure having Daniel Wedman on the show. His deep knowledge and innovative approach to crypto investments provided valuable insights for our listeners. As always, major changes in the world present opportunities for those who are prepared to adapt and innovate.Thank you for tuning in to The Charlie Shrem Show.

What do elevated interest rates mean for private equity? Why is demand for junior capital solutions growing? What is the impact of the current supply/demand imbalance in asset-backed finance? In the latest episode of The Insight: Conversations, Matt Wilson (Co-Portfolio Manager, Special Situations), Christina Lee (Co-Portfolio Manager, U.S. Private Debt), and Jennifer Marques (Head of Strategy and Structuring, Structured Credit) discuss topics from the recently published edition of The Roundup: Top Takeaways from Oaktree's Quarterly Letters.

It does nothing but sit there and look sweet. The shine may be coming off everything else, but it will never come off gold. It's up 55% since inception in October 2023 and going strong.My firm belief is that everyone should own some gold. Especially now.My guide to investing in gold is here. If you are looking to buy gold, try the Pure Gold Company.2. Bitcoin (5% allocation)HODL is another way of saying Dolce Far Niente, and, even with the current shake out, bitcoin has been another winner. It has more than tripled since inception (a 233% gain).Some will argue bitcoin has no place in a “low risk” portfolio such as this. I'd argue that the greater risk is not owning bitcoin.For those in the UK who can't buy it directly or buy the ETFs, our vehicle to play bitcoin via a UK-broker, and circumvent/satisfy ill-conceived-FCA regulation, was to own Nasdaq-listed Strategy Inc (Nasdaq:MSTR).This is one volatile stock, and the chart now looks nasty, but its President Michael Saylor is a genius. He embraces volatility, seeing it as a feature not a flaw. And the company has been another winner, up 9x since the inception of the portfolio, even after the recent correction.By the way, Strategy is proving a leading indicator for bitcoin - it was already falling when bitcoin was re-testing its old high. That makes it a super-useful forecaster. Take note.3. Special Situations (10%)This is the fun/painful part of the portfolio. Lightbridge (NASDAQ:LTBR) was a big winner here, as was and the tax-loss trade (time to exit this one if you haven't already). Junior miners, Condor and tax-loss trade aside, continue to suck.By the way, check out this nuts Lightbridge chart. The bots must have got hold of it. Surely one be one to buy on the dips and exit on the spikes.4. Uranium (5% allocation, reduced to 2.5%)I reduced the uranium allocation to 2.5% in February 2024, because it all felt too frothy. That has proved a good decision, as the price has since come down. We are in proper bear market now.I don't like uranium miners. Most of them will not see any production for years, decades even and are, therefore, drains on capital. We own the metal itself.

"Eine Große Koalition wäre aus Börsensicht die beste Lösung. Ein Weiter-so mit Tendenz zu Verbesserungen", meint Wiki-Trader Christian Scheid im Interview nach der Bundestagswahl. Eine Korrektur in den Märkten ist immer möglich, kleinere (oder größere) Kipppunkte reichen, wie zum Beispiel drastische Einsparungen im US-Haushalt. In Deutschland wartet nicht nur Christian Scheid auf das Comeback der Nebenwerte. "Ich stehe mit Cash bereit. Ich sehe erste Belebungstendenzen." Über 85 % Cash im Wikifolio Special Situations long/short ( https://go.brn-ag.de/398 ), darunter einige Übernahmekandidaten: "Bei PNE würde ich sogar noch einmal nachkaufen. Der Aktienkurs der Commerzbank kennt keine Grenzen. Eine der spannendsten Storys seit vielen Jahren, daher mit der höchsten Gewichtung im Depot: Pentixapharm."

My guest on the show today is Conor Maguire, Founder and Editor of the Value Situations Newsletter on Substack.

Are you still doing keyword searches and going to the individual filing and using control F? That's the old way of doing things before AI. With Fintool, you can ask any question and it's going to automatically generate the best answer. So they may pull from a portion of an earnings call, or a 10k, whatever it may be and then answer your question. The best part- every portion of the answer is cited with the source document. Now- if you've tried to do any of this in ChatGPT you may know that the answers are often wrong or hallucinations. The way Fintool is able to outperform ChatGPT is their focus on the SEC filings.

My guest on the show today is Jacob Rowe, Founder and CIO of Rogue Funds. We met for the first time at my conference in Vegas, and invited Jacob on the show to share with you all his investing philosophy and strategy. Our focus today is special situations: I like to joke sometimes that most MicroCap investing theses are likely special situations, where you're making a calculated bet on an upcoming catalyst, for example. Today's episode, we cover quite a few examples of what makes MicroCaps and special situations synonymous.

On today's episode I interviewed Eyal Malinger, Managing Partner at Resurge Growth Partners. We delved into Eyal's journey through the venture capital world, exploring his strategies for identifying high-potential ventures and his vision for the future of tech entrepreneurship. From his early days as a software engineer to his roles at McKinsey, Oaktree Capital and Beringea, Eyal shares the pivotal moments that shaped his career and led him to establish Resurge Growth Partners. Join us as Eyal unveils the thesis behind Resurge Growth Partners, a fund designed to bridge a critical gap in the market. He explains how the traditional venture model, with its focus on exponential growth, often overlooks companies that have solid products and teams but don't fit the high-growth template. These "orphaned" ventures, as Eyal calls them, are the businesses Resurge Growth Partners aims to support, providing them with the resources and guidance needed to thrive. Eyal also sheds light on the fund's geographical focus, emphasizing the importance of proximity and hands-on involvement in the UK, Europe, and Israel.

Today we are replaying one of our most popular episodes from last year with Jeremy Giffon. I spend all my time trying to find people who have some “singularity” to them. People who seem like they can do an N of 1 something. Having spent many days with Jeremy, he strikes me as one of those people. He was the first employee and general partner at private equity firm/holding company Tiny, which buys and holds internet and technology-focused businesses. Prior to that, he was on the founding team of MediaCore, which was acquired by Workday.

The stock market crash of 1929 was a pivotal event that rippled across the globe. The Great Crash rocked financial markets, not to mention the world economy, and proved to be a precursor to the Great Depression. The sudden selloff wiped out the fortunes of investors who were ill prepared to ride out a bear market. Today, investors must heed the lessons from volatile markets of the past and take stock of hidden risks that may reveal themselves as current market conditions evolve. What strategies can investors employ to mitigate downside risks in their portfolios? This episode of The Outthinking Investor examines risk through the lens of alternatives. Experts discuss the challenges investors face in making the right decisions for their portfolios, taking a holistic view of diversification, and the role that alts can play in both managing risk and capturing opportunities that emerge from volatility.

Eyal Malinger is a Partner at Resurge Growth Partners, helping growth businesses thrive in a market where capital is scarce. He takes a more active investment approach than traditional venture capital firms, backing businesses that may have fallen off the VC flight path but still deserve to be funded.In this episode of the First-time Founders Podcast, Eyal explains the structure of Venture Capital - how it is a great model for high-growth businesses, but by definition, all VC portfolios have a "middle bit" comprised of great companies which are unlikely to make a material impact on the fund's returns. According to Eyal, these businesses require an investor operating under a different paradigm to take them to the next level and a successful exit, which is where Resurge Growth Partners come in.Interested listeners can reach Eyal (https://www.linkedin.com/in/malinger/) at eyal@resurgegrowth.com and Rob (https://www.linkedin.com/in/robertliddiard/) at Rob@mission-group.co.uk (or to book some free time with Rob, visit https://www.eosworldwide.com/rob-liddiard).First-time Founders on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7hcdluu5ywrZ6qFhhI8EVH?si=840a4f564e6d4ea4First-time Founders on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0SfnHZhV747su-Wnd-9Z0QFirst-time Founders on Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/first-time-founders/id1697488388

My guest on the show today is Lionel, Editor of Valorem Research Newsletter. I think Lionel (he'd prefer to stay anonymous) might be one of my favorite podcast guests: his appearances on Andrew Walker's Yet Another Value Podcast have to question all my life choices and perhaps re-evaluate getting a law degree, if only so I can totally understand everything he talks about. In our conversation today, Lionel and I talk about how and why he finds legal special situations so interesting, as well as high level overviews of recent cases he discusses in WAY more depth on Andrew's show, his overall take on anti-trust / M&A and his thoughts on the topic for 2024.
