Fiddler on the Roof and Value Investing - Ep 292
The Intellectual Investor
It was 2006, my fifth year teaching a graduate investment class at the University of Colorado at Denver, and I had stopped preparing for lectures. One day I opened the syllabus and found discounted cash flow analysis on the menu. I started with: "Imagine you are a farmer about to buy a cow. How much would you pay for that cow?"

What to Do When a Stock Drops 25% - Ep 291
The Intellectual Investor

What the Iran War Reveals About the Dollar, Gold, and the End of US Exceptionalism - Ep 289
The Intellectual Investor

Central banks are now accumulating gold as if preparing for an Indian wedding.
