A relaxed late night podcast one month after the onset of a war that almost made us sell our shorts. We discuss our reaction to Russia invading Ukraine, what it has meant for our inflation hedge, the recent moves in the bond market and a few thoughts on human nature and why everyone seems so grumpy.

No sense in having a good hedge unless you're going to look after it. In this episode we discuss updates on the state of inflation in the U.S, updates to our bond short, the flaws we see with the yield inversion argument and the threat of recession. Bit of a heavy one, so we've lightened it up with a hint of cannabis at the end. We hope you enjoy the chat.

Happy New Year Buffett Nerds! We've started 2022 by transitioning our bond short over to a new Bond ETF which we think makes more sense, and in this episode we discuss why. Plus some updated thoughts on inflation and the Fed movements. Unfortunately this was recorded before the release of the Fed minutes, so keep that in mind.

It caused inner city pressure for Marvin Gaye and gave BB King the inflation blues but the question we’re all wondering is what is it? Where does it come from? And what sort of medicine may be required to treat this worldwide economic disease? We talk about why we’re so worried about it and what you can do to protect your portfolio.

Are you a HODL'er with FOMO on NFT's? The fact that Buffett and Munger wouldn't have a clue what that sentence means should tell you everything you need to know. But either way, this is the world we live in now and so this episode we're starting with a discussion around what non-fungible tokens (NFT's) actually are and why you should probably continue to ignore them. Just to be totally clear, we do not HODL or have FOMO.

• What is an NFT, and can you make a serious investment case for them? (1-5min)

• Real world implications of where you invest your dollars and understanding skill over luck (5-12min)

• Diversification with concentration, an overview of our portfolio structure (12-17min)

• The value of experience, understanding how wealth gets compounded and the dangers of unregulated speculation (17-23min)

• Bringing with world of crypto and NFT's back to hard reality and facts (23-29min)

• Kass' crypto coin wish list (29-33min)

• The use of leverage, other obvious risks right now and a final rant session (33-38min)

We really hope you enjoy the discussion and look forward to sharing more entertaining and (hopefully!) helpful content with you in 2021 and beyond. For more content you can find us on the links below:

Gaming nerds are duelling hedge funds on the stock market battlefield. Everyone’s mother knows what a SPAC is. Stocks are now called Stonks and they can only go up. Friends you’ve once bored with investing talk are now calling you with their hot stock tips of the week. Spiffy pops are a daily occurrence and intelligent value investing is apparently dead. Is this whole new world of Bizarre here to stay, or could this time really be different? We're going to go out on a limb here and suggest that in reality, what we’re actually experiencing is the ‘2020's meme-stock/crypto bubble'.

The bubble phenomenon is age old and repetitious, so much so that it seems to be ingrained in the human condition. From Tulip Mania in the 1600’s, South Sea Bubble of the 1700’s, Railway Bubble of the 1800’s and take your pick from the bubbles of the 1900’s. Many bubbles have been and gone, lessons learnt by one generation and then forgotten by the next. The questions we ponder in this conversation are:

- What is a bubble and what are the signs were in one?

- How should you be investing in a bubble?

- How do you find investment opportunities in a bubble?

- How can you protect your capital?

- What lessons can we learn from the greatest investors in history?

- How did the best investors operate during bubbles?

- How can you hedge your portfolio against inflation risk?

- Sir Templeton took us off on a religion tangent from 34min onward...
