Patient Value Investing and America’s Industrial Advantage | Bob Robotti

Bob Robotti, legendary value investor and President and CIO
of Robotti and Company Advisors, is one of a very select group of investors
with a 30+ year track record of S&P 500 outperformance. Here he joins Other People’s Money to discuss long-term value investing, why he likes to invest in companies perceived to be facing headwinds, and his view that American based industrial companies are competitively advantaged for reasons completely unaffected by trade policy. He also discusses how he operates both an advisory business and a broker dealer business and how the broker dealer has served as a starting point for many other great value investors.
