A fabulous hour with Paul Jourdan, CEO and Co-Founder of Amati Global Investors. We get a real sense of his investing rationale and thinking. Paul talks about where he sees market opportunities. How Amati dealt with CV19. Companies he thinks are interesting. What he’s learned from mistakes. Particularly thought provoking, his comment, it’s not the losers that cost investors, but the expense of missing the great opportunities where you miss a multiple of what you invested.
