Investors searching for the ETF with the highest allocation to GME at the start of 2021 would have turned up the Cambria Shareholder Yield ETF (SYLD). A quant by nature, SYLD's portfolio manager Meb Faber accumulated his outsized position in GameStop (GME) patiently over nearly a decade, sticking to his guns as shares moved consistently lower (Meb is the co-founder, CEO and CIO of Cambria Investment Management). Rather than taking a victory lap, Meb views his experience with GME as an important teaching moment for investors. This may be the most important investing podcast you listen to this year.
