Adam J. Schwartz of Black Bear Value Partners shared his perspective during a Q&A session at our special event, Intelligent Investing in Crisis Mode 2020.
Adam talked about the factors that led him to reverse his airlines position shortly before the stocks crashed in earnest. He also provided an update on his credit short thesis, which he had presented at Best Ideas 2019. Finally, we talked about clear thinking, remaining calm in the current environment, and surrounding oneself (virtually) with rational and independent thinkers.
Listen to this session (recorded on March 17, 2020):
