Evan Tindell: Value Investing in 2025 - [Making Markets, EP.57]

My guest today is Evan Tindell. Evan graduated from MIT and became a professional poker player before entering the investing world. He’s now the co-founder and CIO of Bireme Capital, where he’s delivered over 19% annualized returns since 2016 by sticking to classic, old-school value investing. In this conversation, we talk about how Evan developed his philosophy, why he stuck with value through challenging cycles, and how he thinks about shorting meme stocks in a market dominated by narratives and momentum. We also dive into his views on the Mag 7, Tesla, Japan, and how he’s using AI tools for his research.
