Episode notes

The 10 year has gone from 4.2% at the start of the year to 4.6% in late August to 5.1% today, and the S&P is still basically touching all time highs. Interest rates are financial gravity, but I wonder if gravity works on a lag. Consumers and allocators are slow to move money from stocks to bonds, and corporates termed out a lot of 3.5% debt in 2021 to 2023 that starts rolling in 2028 to 2031. Today's free cash flow is flattered by that spread. Underneath the index there is already real pain in housing, levered small caps and biotech, and my bottom line is the margin of safety in stocks keeps…

    $TPB: can Turning Point Brands be the third player in nicotine pouches? | Saberpoint Capital

    Nicotine pouches might be the best new consumer category in decades: cheap to make, high margin, and sticky once someone gets hooked, the same traits that made Philip Morris a 16.5% a year compounder for close to a century. George Baxter of Saberpoint Capital has owned Turning Point Brands since his fund's first days, and he thinks the market is missing how well TPB is positioned as the third player behind ZYN and Velo, with FRE and the Tucker Carlson backed Alp now almost half of revenue. We get into whether pouch users are really brand loyal or will hop around like energy drink buyers (my…

    $FOUR: Shift4 at 6.5x EBITDA. Is the organic growth real? | Emeth Value Capital

    Shift4 trades around six and a half times EBITDA while the company tells you organic growth is 11%. The stock was $120 eighteen months ago and it is $42 today. Andrew Carreon of Emeth Value Capital argues you are paying for zero growth or less, and he points at the piece almost nobody is tracking: the gross equipment under lease line buried in the footnotes, which has gone from a nominal $40 million before 2021 to a $400 million run rate today as Shift4 Dine gets deployed. More than 80% of those installs are net new merchants, not migrations off the legacy POS systems Shift4 already owns. I…

    $NTDOY: is Nintendo's flywheel actually there? | Accrued Interest

    Nintendo's flywheel is not there. That is Simeon McMillan's call, and it is the one that has media longs emailing me. His case: Switch 2 is the best console launch in history and the attach rate still came in well below Switch 1, the Mario Kart bundle flattered even that number, Nintendo Switch Online accounts have been flat for years and almost nobody has noticed, and Nintendo just took its first mid-cycle price increase because memory costs are not coming down. He is not calling for a crash. He is saying you cannot put this one away for two years. I push back hard. Ocarina of Time is going…

    Ian Cassel on Stock Picker, the book that blew me away | MicroCapClub

    Ian Cassel has been picking microcaps for twenty years, and his argument in Stock Picker is that the edge everyone assumes has been arbitraged away is actually coming back. Not the spreadsheet edge. The one that comes from getting on a plane, spending a full day with a CEO instead of an hour, and learning to sense when something is wrong before the numbers say so. His line is that with AI write-ups everywhere, the only place left to get an edge is the conversations that are not recorded, transcribed or scraped, and that puts the game back where it was 30 years ago. The other half of the book…

    UK stocks are dirt cheap. Why won't the boards act? $ZIG $CRW | Undervalued-Shares

    A quarter of the companies on the London Stock Exchange's main board have disappeared in four years. Private equity keeps paying 50 and 60 percent premiums and still walking away with a bargain, because the starting valuations are broken. Swen Lorenz of Undervalued-Shares has spent the last few months writing open letters to UK boards telling them to stop waiting to be rescued and start pulling the levers they already have. I have been calling the UK an emerging market on this podcast for three years, and my problem with the trade is right there in the setup: if the only way you make money…

    Zack Buckley on $PRTH's take private

    In November 2025 Priority Technology's (PRTH, disclosure: long) chairman and CEO offered to take the company private at $6.00 to $6.15 a share, two days after a bad print knocked the stock from seven to five. Zack Buckley wrote a public letter opposing it. His sum of the parts gets to roughly $17 a share, a simpler multiple analysis gets to $19, and the June sale of a comparable payments business at 8.3x EBITDA implies $12 against a stock trading around $5.50. Ten months later the special committee still has not said a word. Zack walks through why the consolidated company is misread: over…
