Skippy and Doogles launch a Substack at skippyanddoogles.substack.com. Doogles starts off the newsletter with a deeper dive on his investment methodology and Q3 portfolio returns. Skippy stretches as usual to defend value investing, this time claiming that value stocks are a hedge against inflation. Speaking of inflation hedges, the DWAC SPAC shot up by nearly 10x this week upon announcement that it's getting into the Donald Trump media game. On the topic of risky trades, Doogles dabbles in options this week, which Skippy is not a fan of. The conversation wraps by discussing the expectations gap between financial advisors and their clients, and a few key questions for long term investors.
