Podcast: Chris Waller of Plural Investing and Hidden Gem Investing 

I recently had the opportunity to speak with Chris Waller of Plural Investing and Hidden Gem Investing about two recent spin-offs: GCI Liberty (GLIBK) and Seaport Entertainment (SEG).

Both situations feature strong investor alignment with well-known investors and have recently completed rights offerings (as Joel Greenblatt famously says: buy all spin-off rights offerings!).
