Matt Russell: 我在本期节目中探讨了播客是否能成为投资阿尔法的来源。受到《华尔街日报》一篇文章的启发，该文章讲述了 Millennium 的投资组合经理 Steve Scher 如何通过挖掘播客文字稿获得成功。尽管总体而言，自 2021 年以来，Business Breakdowns 报道的公司的“播客投资组合”表现逊于标准普尔 500 指数，但像 AppLovin 和通用电气这样的个别公司表现出色。AppLovin 的表现超过了 540%，通用电气的收益超过了 300%。我分析了动量模式，讨论了赢家和输家，并分享了关于使用播客进行投资模式识别而不是直接选股的见解。总的来说，我认为播客洞察可以作为商业研究和理解的教育起点。我发现关键在于模式匹配，寻找那些拥有关键任务产品、在市场上占据主导地位、具有有机增长和收购增长路径的企业。通过播客，我们可以高效地了解公司的业务，并将其作为投资决策的参考。

Shownotes Transcript

This is Matt Reustle. Today’s episode looks a little different. We are exploring whether podcasts can be a source of investment alpha, sparked by a Wall Street Journal article about portfolio manager Steve Cher's success mining podcast transcripts for Millennium Management. I analyze performance data from over 200 companies covered on Business Breakdowns since 2021, revealing that while the overall "podcast portfolio" has lagged the S&P 500, individual standouts like AppLovin (540% outperformance) and General Electric (300%+ gains) tell a more compelling story. I examine momentum patterns, discuss both winners and losers, and share insights on using podcasts for investment pattern recognition rather than direct stock picks. The episode concludes with practical thoughts on how podcast insights can serve as an educational starting point for business research and understanding.
