Scrabble pieces to pick stocks - Ted on Dave Portnoy's "active" management
"Dave Portnoy is the founder of a huge pop culture blog Barstool Sports which is certainly much more popular in the states and than here in Australia. And Dave is incredibly charismatic, he's hilarious. He's an incredible marketer, and an incredible salesman and off the back of this he’s used his leverage to grow his brand even more and invented personas around Davey day trader, where he uses Scrabble pieces to pick stocks. Don’t get me wrong it is quite funny but there are some people that can't differentiate between humor and actual investment philosophies and maybe he's trying to keep that confusion happening as well. Some of the quotes that he said about investing, where he was making a comparison with betting on sports gambling and how you can actually potentially lose all your money with sports gambling but investing is alright because stocks always go up, I'm just shaking my head when I'm listening to that."
