Host Clay Fink interviews hedge fund manager Derek Pilecki about his recent performance and how he is navigating current market conditions in the financial sector. Pilecki explains his process of targeting ideas with potential to double in three years, combining value investing with an awareness of momentum and technicals, and selectively using leverage at both the company and portfolio level. He discusses opportunities in regional and European banks, beaten-down fintech names, case studies in Robinhood and WEX, and his views on interest rate cuts, inflation, and the real estate market.
