Today we had the privilege of speaking with Adam Wilk, Founder and Portfolio Manager of Greystone Capital Management LLC. He has a very interesting background, he worked with the San Antonio Spurs on the Acquisition Department, we discussed the intricacies of basketball analytics, what does his research process looks like, from initial due diligence to deep dives, and how much he spends on research, we also talked about two of his ideas At Home (HOME) and Thunderbird Entertainment Group (TBRD) and we wrapped our conversation with tips and tricks on learning how to do nothing.
