"Value investing is a death cult, it’s like cigarettes, based on negative information and playing to your fears, no value stock ever went up cause it was cheap it went up because it grew. They talk about Warren Buffett as a value investor but companies such as Coke and Apple have grown massively, so he is finding cheap growth stocks rather than value investing on its own." Salty advice from the highly inked and rock-infused financial writer, hedge-funder and digital media mogul, Enrique Abeyta. There's much more great advice in this episode and a tribute to Malcom Young from AC/DC.Enrique Abeyta is an Editor working for Empire Financial Research and Whitney Tilson https://www.empirefinancialresearch.comHe is also the co-founder and CEO of digital media and e-commerce company Project M Group LLC.

“It always seemed to me to be much too difficult to analyse the fundamentals of whatever it was that you were trading, because there would always be people that knew so much more than could ever possibly know, and what they knew would somehow be reflected in the trading in the chart and you could see that.” Benjamin is a lawyer, stock trader and publisher of the newsletter The Oracle on Wilshire. A technical analyst he uses trends and patterns to determine movements in the stock market. His curiosity in financial markets began with the severing of the US dollar from the gold standard in 1971 by Richard Nixon sparking a fascination with commodities markets.
