    This guys a nice guy! But the newsletter company he writes for is a Con game
    Heard he’s leaving Franks company. Good news. Frank is a scam artist. I hope this gentleman continues the podcast when he’s left Frank

    Questionable
    It’s Mikes show and it’s free so he doesn’t owe us anything, but it is interesting that in the intro, he says he’s trying to level the playing field for investors. He seems likable and does give some great food for thought that are serving me well, but he will not discuss any individual stocks as the title and intro imply. I think this is more of a marketing play for his firm Sachem capital which understandable and fair. He does have an amazing recurrent guest Harris “Cuppy” Kupperman who is a stud at calling stocks and has some amazing insights into the shipping industry.

    Hope he continues after leaving Curzio
    I always enjoy the intro and the different views from the guests. I hope he continues somehow after leaving Curzio.

    MIKE’S TAKE
    This is an inside tour of the free enterprise market world of professional investing. It’s analogous to hearing Jack Nicklaus explain how to play golf and win tournaments. You can’t beat getting it from the horse’s mouth as the saying goes. If you manage your own investments, you’ll love this program. It’s valuable to get insight into the personality of a top pro. As Ben Hogan said, “Golf is played on two inches of turf between the ears.”

    Always have a takeaway
    I never miss a podcast. I always have at least one takeaway from each show. Would love a more focused podcast around an idea that could be held to around 30 minutes. With all of the great podcasts, I usually need skip through some of the chit chat.

    Some good information, if you get past the rambling
    Mike Alkin is a short selling specialist, who was one of Frank Curzio’s (“Wall Street Unplugged” and “Frankly Speaking “ podcasts) first analyst hires for his new company Curzio Research. There is definitely too much sports discussion (which you can fast forward past if you are not interested), but this is supposed to be a financial podcast. If you are interested in sports, there are plenty of better podcasts on this subject. Putting that aside, there is some good information, if you can get past the rambling and platitudes. Typical podcasts are close to 90 minutes, way too long for busy people. Could be much improved just by cutting the BS. But still worth listening to, especially when he has good guests (as he frequently does). Hopefully this will become a better podcast with more experience and if Mike pays heed to these comments.
  • Where's the Beef ?
    Little to No Actionable info - and lots of personal jabbering
    This is a smart guy who I really want to glean some knowledge from but its like pulling teeth. When he first started his podcast he had complaints about them being too long. I disagree - the more info the better - especially from somone like him. However, the show has turned in to him spending 25-40 minutes talking about personal stuff with a tiny bit of knowledge here and there (just enough to make you frustrated that you didn't fast forward after he gets to the meat. Then when he starts actually talking stocks - he doesn't - thats right he won't mention specific stocks. Not even a few and say these may be worth checking in to further. Listen to his latest resource podcast - nothing there but platitudes and generic warnings.

    Thanks Mike!
    Great listen, especially for us commoners 😉 . Thanks for having our back. BTW you have such a nice way about you. Easy to see you are the real deal.

    Quality content
    This guy is underrated, hope more people listen to him.

    Good content
    I view all podcasts as idea generation and mental exercises. I like what this podcast tries to accomplish. It’s a bit of a “long uranium” echo chamber, but the host pitches uranium because he believes in it. I can’t hate on that. Do your own work!

    Smart but boring
    Mike is a very knowledgeable person when it comes to investing. However, his delivery is lacking any excitement or punch. A real sleepy show. It will take a lot of beers to make this tolerable.

    Barry “crypto” Cohen Show
    Confusing explanation as far as relating Crypto to anything investable. The crypto gurus continue to fumble over explanation of the subject.
  • schlachterj
    Stop saying contrarian
    The term contrarian investor is in a bubble and your use of it is too. I believe what you want to express isn’t that you are a contrarian but instead looking for situations that appear to have depressed valuations do to some misunderstood situation. Which sounds more like value investing. Otherwise, the podcast is enjoyable

    Great content
    I'm just a regular individual investor who loves to listen to financial based podcasts. I started listening to Michael Alkin's podcast from the beginning. What I love about it: Michael lets his guests talk without interrupting them. He will have his guests clarify something if they are getting too technical for the laymen. He talks about subject matter that you really don’t hear about in other podcasts (i.e. many consumer staples being overvalued and the uranium sector being undervalued). Michael brings his Wall St experience to the show and explains his thought process behind his beliefs of how to navigate the current market environment. What I don’t like about the podcast: Mike tries to open each podcast with that personal connection story the same way Frank Curzio does. I feel it’s not working for Mike. It feels like Mike is forcing himself to try and find something to talk about and I don’t think the listeners are making that connection to Mike like they do Frank. I find it’s hard to hear some of the guests that Mike is talking to. I don’t know if they are doing the interview over a phone or something but the guests audio volume is sometime drastically lower than Mike’s volume. Sometimes I find the overall volume of the show lower than all the other podcast I’m listening to and I have to crank my volume all the way up. Maybe it’s a production issue. Overall though I love the show and plan on investing to his newsletter service.

    Must listen to for any serious investor
    Mike's podcast is one of my top must listen to podcasts. His insights are from a different perspective and well thought out. The guests are second to none.

    Experienced analyst - great insight
    Mike Alkin puts in a huge amount of time to get the story and the investment right. I hope the first two episodes are just the beginning!
