Andrew Walker, friend of the pod, returns to discuss some of his reflections following the Spirit merger ruling going against him. Bill pinged Andrew following the ruling and asked whether he would want to come back on the podcast to discuss the pros and cons of publicly liking a stock idea that does not work out. For those that listened to the episode a few weeks ago, or remember Bill's Qurate days, you may glean a little more insight into why the Spirit merger caused Bill to think so much.
The episode then goes on to discuss Calumet Specialty Products Partners. You can go back to last week's episode for a SAF primer. And you can also subscribe to https://yetanothervaluepodcast.substack.com/ to find Andrew's research on that company.
As always, we hope you enjoy the show.
