The art of stock picking is a skill that can lead to significant rewards for those who master it.

How does one sift through the noise to identify undervalued gems? What does it take to maintain a long-term perspective in a market driven by short-term sentiments?

In this episode, Ryan Detrick, Chief Market Strategist at Carson Group & Sonu Varghese, VP, Global Macro Strategist at Carson Group, sit down with Eddy Elfenbein, Portfolio Manager, to explore his journey as a well-known stock picker. They dive into several topics, such as Eddy's approach to selecting stocks, his ETF, thoughts on macroeconomic trends, and the importance of being optimistic about the stock market.

Eddy discusses: 

  • The thrill and challenges of being a true stock picker in an era dominated by passive investing
  • The evolution of his career, from sharing stock picks on his blog to managing an ETF with a unique fulcrum fee structure
  • The importance of simplifying complex market concepts and the dangers of Wall Street’s tendency to overcomplicate
  • Insights into the macroeconomic picture, exploring employment rates, nominal GDP growth, the strength of the labor market, and interest rates
  • And more!
