Alpha In Podcasts? - [Business Breakdowns, EP.222]

In a special episode of Business Breakdowns, Matt Reustle explores the potential for alpha generation using podcast transcripts, inspired by a Wall Street Journal article about a portfolio manager using this approach. Reustle analyzes the performance of companies featured on Business Breakdowns since 2021, comparing them to the S&P 500. While the aggregate data shows a rolling Business Breakdowns portfolio underperforming the S&P, individual companies like Applovin, GE, Siemens Energy, Axon, and Nintendo have seen significant outperformance. Reustle also notes underperformers and explores data points related to momentum and reversals, emphasizing the importance of independent research and pattern matching for investment decisions, using the podcast as an educational resource.
