Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

First Fridays 27. January 2026
Q: What do you think about small caps in 2026?
It's tough to say; small caps are more economically sensitive, and if there is a bad year for the market, small caps might struggle. However, there is potential for them to outperform if the economy stays stable but AI stock excitement calms down.
First Fridays 27. January 2026
Q: Can you provide further analysis on QuantumScape?
There's not really a lot new about QuantumScape, but they did have announcements in December on some commercialization progress, and they are on a good track to commercialize solid-state batteries with partnerships with several OEMs.
186. December 2025 Mailbag
Q: What are your thoughts on investing in the cannabis industry given the new executive order?
It's a risky industry without brand loyalty and major hurdles remain; it's solidly in the too hard pile for me.
186. December 2025 Mailbag
Q: Thoughts on handling inflows due to inheritance?
It's important to evaluate all invested assets and list out your goals. Consult a professional to navigate tax implications.
186. December 2025 Mailbag
Q: How much time do you spend consuming the financial results and position of a company versus background information about the industry?
I spend all my time just looking at individual companies, while you do sector level research understanding an industry.
