My guest on the show today is author and investor, Brendan Hughes. Brendan wrote a very interesting book entitled Markets in Chaos where he analyzed various boom-and-bust cycles that have happened over history. Brendan is also on the investment team at Lafayette Investments, a Maryland-based RIA. In this wide-ranging discussion, we covered:
- The major lessons he learned from writing Markets in Chaos
- Lafayette’s approach to security selection;
- How he and his firm define a quality company;
- Similarities and differences between today and the 1970s US energy crisis; and
- Why he has a strong distaste for the value and growth labels that get placed on investment strategies
