Season 1, Episode 9: Reports of Retail’s Death Have Been Greatly Exaggerated, With ValueStockGeek

Published June 11, 2019

Retail is dead. Brick and mortars shopping has been replaced by E-commerce. Amazon is triumphant, the victor over all goods that can reasonably be bought and sold.

Finding mispriced securities (3:00), more about ValueStockGeek and his process (12:54), stock ideas (15:23).
