TIP406: Finding Hidden Treasure w/ Thomas Braziel

We Study Billionaires - The Investor’s Podcast Network

Episode • Dec 19, 2021 • 1h 0m

Trey Lockerbie discussed Special Situations with Thomas Braziel. Thomas was recommended by multiple guests because of his Sherlock Holmes approach to finding buried treasure (sometimes literally) types of opportunities. Thomas is not your average investor. They explore a lot of unique topics and it's guaranteed you will learn a ton. One quick caveat: Trey was recording from Costa Rica, Thomas was in London, so the audio quality had tiny glitches along the way. Please bear with us because the substance of the conversation is fantastic. And with that, please enjoy a very unique approach from the humble and kind, Thomas Braziel.

01:41 - What investing in Special Situations looks like.
03:34 - Investing in bankruptcies, liens, and other esoteric situations.
11:24 - How Thomas turned $7k into over $1MM by finding an important footnote on a penny stock company.
