The Meb Faber Show: “The Biggest Investment Opportunity Isn’t AI”
Today’s guest is Bob Robotti, founder and CIO of Robotti and Company Advisors, which he’s been running the firm since 1983.
In today’s episode, Bob explains why volatile markets driven by passive flows keep handing opportunities to stock pickers. He makes the case for offshore oil services and homebuilders, shows why zombie companies can be dollars trading for 20 cents, and argues 2% inflation is a pipe dream.
To close, Bob shares the biggest loss of his career, selling a winner too early.
