In this interview, I talk to Ben Demase about San Juan Basin Royalty Trust and his stock investment thesis for it. Not much of a stock, though. More on that in the video. In this interview we cover what a royalty trust is, how it differs from a regular company, how San Juan was hit hard by cutting its dividend, and potential future earnings due to a strong catalyst. www.netnethunter.com

Is this incredibly rare Japanese stock spin off set to soar? Spin offs are rare in Japan, but what’s even more rare is spin offs that involve a company lead by an incredible entrepreneur with a passion for launching successful businesses in house. Today Evan Bleker talks to Rich Howe about the latest spin off gem he’s found, this one Japanese spin off Hamee. We discuss how uncommon it is to see a spin off in Japan, Hammer’s business, business history, company leadership, balance sheet health, share buybacks, insider buys, insider ownership, and the firm’s history of launching new businesses in house. We discuss the challenges and benefits of investing in Japanese stocks, research methods, and some fun stories about other Japanese stocks. In the end, Rich discloses a second Japanese stock spinoff that he’s monitoring.

Is Abacus Global Management the next great S.T.A.R. business? Richard Koch may like this one. Abacus Global Management is a niche leader in a new, fast-growing market, but surprisingly, it’s not priced for perfection. In this interview, I talk to Stephen Farrington, who lays out the case for Abacus. We discuss the new market for life insurance policy resettlements, the speed at which Abacus is growing, the runway ahead for the business, the market competition that Abacus faces, recent acquisitions and whether this should be seen as “deworsification” or not, the firm’s current valuation and what is should be trading at, plus management competence, insider buys, and recent share buybacks. www.netnethunter.com
