In this episode of Equity Mates, Alec is chatting with the impressive Kiril Sokoloff, Chairman and Founder of 13D Research & Strategy. We travel back to the pivotal year of 1983 to uncover what inspired the inception of 13D and how it has become a powerhouse in making stock market predictions. Then we are taking a closer look at some of their most significant predictions over the past four decades, the ones they got right, and even those they missed. Amidst an abundance of financial media predictions today, we discuss how to approach and assess these forecasts. Moreover, Kiril, who has served as an advisor to some of the best investors in history, such as Stanley Druckenmiller, shares invaluable lessons and traits every aspiring investor should emulate.Big announcement from us – we’ve written a new book!
