Episode notes
Prioritize Asymmetric, Long-Term Deals
- Focus on asymmetric, long-term value opportunities rather than short-term trading.
- Invest where you have an edge and structure deals that create durable, generational value.

- Tavi recounts acquiring the St. Cristobal silver mine with heavy leverage and finding a major discovery.
- The deal tripled the resource and created outsized returns compared with buying metal directly.

- Existing metals must be mined to meet demand, so current above-ground stocks won't prevent shortages.
