    Sep 30 2025

    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.

    Sep 24 2025

    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

  • Manolete Partners: How You Can Profit From the Fall of the UK Economy
    Aug 20 2025

    How can you profit from the fall of the UK economy? In this podcast, I talk to Alberto Alvarez about Manolete Partners, a bankruptcy financing firm trading in the UK, that will benefit from the record number of bankruptcies in the UK. The country is seeing the largest number of bankruptcies since the 2009 Great Financial Crisis, and Manolete Partners is set to profit. In this podcast, we discuss the UK’s economic decline, that the UK is currently experiencing a depression, how local councils are insolvent and had to be bailed out by the British government, how 22% of British companies will have to refinance their debt in 2025. We discuss Manolete’s business, how it makes money off of larger bankruptcies, and the forward line of sight that the company has with respect to earnings. As it turns out Manolete Partners has a near 5x upside, according to Alberto, with very little downside likely, and it’s trading just above NCAV. It’s a tragic situation but you can make money from the UK decline and fall. Get free special situation and event driven stock alerts by joining our Morning Brew newsletter.
