Chris Abbott: Extreme Dumpster Diving & Preferred Stocks (LFMD, CSSE, VTNR, SNLH)

I'm excited to share my podcast with Chris Abbott of 1035 Capital. Chris is a dumpster diver investor. He scours the corners of the market looking in the ugliest places and finding the ugliest stocks.

I love it. I've got a soft spot for distressed/hated ideas. Maybe its because I'm reading/studying distressed investing currently. Or maybe its because dumpster diving feels like "real" value investing.

We discussed a handful of ideas, including CSSE, VTNR, LFMD, and SLNH.

It's wild that Chris has fewer than 200 followers on Twitter. Let's change that. Follow him @1035_capital.

Finally, thanks to the following sponsors for making the podcast a reality!

Mitimco

This episode is brought to you by MIT Investment Management Company, also known as MITIMCo, the investment office of MIT. Each year, MITIMCo invests in a handful of new emerging managers who it believes can earn exceptional long-term returns in support of MIT's mission. To help the emerging manager community more broadly, they created ⁠emergingmanagers.org⁠, a website for emerging manager stockpickers.

For those looking to start a stock-picking fund or just looking to learn about how others have done it, I highly recommend the site. You'll find essays and interviews by successful emerging managers, service providers used by MIT's own managers, essays MITIMCo has written for emerging managers and more!
