#112: Jim White; Opportunity Investing

SUMMARY

In this episode of The Intelligent Investing Podcast, I sit down
with Jim White to discuss his book Opportunity Investing.


 


As the famed value investor, Joel Greenblatt, had to say about
the book:


 


"Jim White's marvelous book Opportunity Investing is conclusive
evidence of my belief that the secret to investing is to figure
out the value of something - and then pay less. Dr. White offers
magical advice on how to make big money while saving on capital
gains. At the same time, he vividly illuminates the dire
situations in Opportunity Zones and presents a wide range of
innovative ideas for Opportunity Funds, including directing them
toward education and non-profits."

zones and opportunity funds, check out Jim's presentation on
