A great interview conducted by our local legend @lhamtil and his co-hosts of Horizon Kinetics' Director of Research and Portfolio Manager of the Inflation Beneficiaries ETF, James Davolos. Give it a listen.
Episode 38! We got to interview James Davolos, Portfolio Manager and Director of Research of Horizon Kinetics. James gives an overview of Horizon’s contrarian value approach, we then discuss the broad topic of inflation, and then move on to some specific companies that are in the portfolio of Horizon’s Inflation Beneficiaries ETF ($INFL).

Approved.
If it isn’t already obvious that Substack is the best possible home for a podcast—monetization, distribution, community—then it will be very soon. Now we start telling people.

Foursquare was acquired last month. The outcome was disappointing. It's taken me a while to write this, but I think I'm finally done grieving it. Here are some thoughts on our final years, an effort to honor the team who helped build & maintain FSQ's legacy, and my attempt to finally get some closure. teendrama.substack.com/p/som…

I’ve had my arm twisted to join @Substack - do join me over at open.substack.com/pub/alexho… where I’ll talk more about life on the railways and adventures in transport. Happy to hear any (polite and reasonable!) suggestions on topics too.

📢 NEW on Substack: Metered Paywalls Sometimes the best way to encourage a free subscriber to go paid is to give them a taste of what they're missing. Now, you can give your free Substack subscribers access to a set number of paid posts each month. You control how many paid posts free subscribers can access, and which posts are included. It's one more way Substack makes it easier to turn your podcasting, writing, and video into an independent income.
