- Investing
Randy Baron, lead Portfolio Manager for Pinnacle Associates Ltd's various international products, joins The Business Brew to discuss his investing philosophy. Randy is best known for international value investing and for publicly discussing Amyris. Amyris is an unprofitable company with a CEO that has a controversial reputation. But, it is a very interesting company backed by some very real investors.
Bill and Randy have spoken a few times over the past 2 years and Bill likes how Randy looks at the world. Bill was also curious about Amyris and how Randy's public support of the company has or has not influenced Randy's analysis. Randy is open and transparent on this podcast and it is a very entertaining, and informative, listen. We hope you enjoy.
