Drew Dickson on Navigating Behavioral Biases, U.S. vs. European Stocks, & Tesla | #520

Today’s guest is Drew Dickson, founder of Albert Bridge Capital and CIO of Alpha Europe funds. 

We talk a lot about global investing on this show and wanted to talk about that with Drew given his focus on European markets. Between the end of 1979 and the end of 2009, both the U.S. and Europe were 26 baggers and roughly had the same returns. Since then? The U.S. has returned 15% per year while Europe has returned just 8% per year. We spend a lot of time on whether this will continue. 

We also talk about the impact former guest and Nobel Laureate Richard Thaler had on his investment philosophy, the importance of shedding our biases to generate alpha, his valuation of Tesla, and much more.
