366. Diamonds in the dust: finding value where others don’t

This episode unpacks how overlooked companies and unloved markets can offer attractive returns, why technical analysis and timing matter, and the risks of following the crowd into overcrowded trades. Sean Peche, manager of the Ranmore Global Equity fund, tells us how market cycles, crises, and hype—from the Magnificent 7 to artificial intelligence—can present both risks and opportunities for patient investors. With real-world examples, analogies, and lessons learned across 17 years of investing, this interview provides practical insight into how disciplined, contrarian thinking can help protect capital and compound wealth over the long term.
