Today I had the pleasure of talking to Lawrence Fuller. He is a veteran investor of 25 years, fellow contributor and Investing Group Leader on Seeking Alpha.

Lawrence is very knowledgeable when it comes to macro and fundamental investing, and we had a great conversation about the current Fed policy, the outlook for inflation and growth and (lack of) potential for a recession.

We also talked at length about one of Lawrence's high-conviction stocks, Gannett (GCI), which experienced a lot of volatility surrounding the recent earnings.

In today’s episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with Ryan Wilday.

Ryan is a fellow SA contributor who specializes in trading/investing in cryptocurrencies using Elliott Wave Theory. I’ve been following Ryan for some time and can honestly say it was a pleasure having him on the show.

What is EWT? Why should you use it? And how high can Bitcoin go?

These are all questions we covered in the Podcast, as well as the macro outlook, alternative investments, gold, bonds and more.

Perhaps the greatest insight I took from this conversation was the idea that in trading/investing, there is no one recipe for success. Even the best traders have win rates of barely over 50%. The key to being succesfull is consistency and risk management.

In this week’s podcast, I had the pleasure of speaking to Victor Dergunov.

Welcome to E1 of the Pragmatic Investor.

Today I had the pleasure of talking to Brett Ashcroft Green, a fellow Seeking Alpha Contributor with a focus on value investing and self-indexing.

Brett is well-versed in the teachings of classic value investors, such as Warren Buffett and Peter Lynch. However, he applies these timeless value principles to modern-day companies, finding value in "unlikely" names such as Tesla. We also talked about Crypto, investing in China, Lithium, Uranium and a lot more.

I really learned a lot from this conversation, and hope you will too.
