Description

Randy Baron, lead Portfolio Manager for Pinnacle Associates Ltd's various international products, joins The Business Brew to discuss his investing philosophy.  Randy is best known for international value investing and for publicly discussing Amyris.  Amyris is an unprofitable company with a CEO that has a controversial reputation.  But, it is a very interesting company backed by some very real investors.

Bill and Randy have spoken a few times over the past 2 years and Bill likes how Randy looks at the world.  Bill was also curious about Amyris and how Randy's public support of the company has or has not influenced Randy's analysis.  Randy is open and transparent on this podcast and it is a very entertaining, and informative, listen.  We hope you enjoy.

Welcome to The Business Brew This podcast’s mission is to dig deep into the thought patterns and analysis of investors and business people. The podcast stemmed from Bill Brewster consistently feeling like he was listening to prepackaged material while listening to podcasts. Instead, he wanted long form, in depth, discussions about finance, capital allocation, and the psychology of investing/business. Bill is a private investor. He cohosts the podcast Value: After Hours with Tobias Carlisle and Jake Taylor. Tobias, Jake and Bill met at a Berkshire Hathaway meeting and formed a lasting friendship. And, as it turns out, people really like the podcast. While Bill tries to replicate Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger’s thought processes, he is heavily influenced by Bill Miller III, Stan Druckenmiller, and others. This podcast is his attempt to dig deeper into other investing/business philosophies and share the knowledge with the world. We are interested in interviewing portfolio managers, Wall Street sell side analysts, buy side analysts, private investors, owner operators, and anyone that is willing to go in depth about running a company/division.
