GW is great. Good insights, especially the short story on Berkshire Hathaway! Gold.

Grant is a legend. Wish they would get rid of that Cr@p knockon effect and return to GW's podacst!!!

Where is the faith inspiring conversation?

Grant - Crypto is not "a generational thing." You and I are the same age. I understand it - meaning that I have a conceptual framework for why there is underlying value. That doesn't mean that it's a sure thing as an investment - it's speculation. But it's rational speculation. If you don't understand it, get educated. Other than that, great job!

Cryptocurrency “but it’s just air” Dinosaurs will be dinosaurs.

Wake up @ 2am awake, well go for a glass a water and open the laptop. Fall on this interview and I as to listen to it all to the end. Great interview, very human . It's remarkable the quality of the interview done by Grant and his crew. Top main stream media quality work, really you @ RV got something to be really proud of.

"crypto is air" ...

If cryptos are mob stocks, what would that make the USD and fiat.... cartel kingpins? I agree with poster below (Ronnie). Most older generations underweight the demographics story that are underpinning cryptocurrencies. Most millennials are far more interested in discussing and putting money into Bitcoin and its ilk over instruments such as gold and government bonds.

"Crypto is air"? Seriously, the total lack of understanding of crypto by the boomer generation is unreal. Yes, ~95% of the current tokens out there probably won't make it, but the 5% that do will knock finance (and many other areas) on its face over the next 5-10 years.

Football pitch Grant, not a soccer pitch ;)

Sports - boring. Philanthropy - boring. Left-wing fear mongering about "nationalist and populist states"... boring. Get Paul Tudor Jones on.

He just drops bombs so easy mid thought. "Children learn what they live, etc." This wasn't Marc Cohodes, but nobody puts out content like this. This dude dropped so much knowledge, and thank goodness Grant could coax it out. Great interview, great interviewer.

I think this is the first interview where it feels like more of Ed's points (maybe required) were covered than Grant's normal course of dialogue. Could be just the setting at the stadium, but this interview feels more like a publicity piece than it does uncovering deep knowledge.

Amazing interview

Fascinating interview. Two guys totally relaxed in each other's company (not new with your interviewing style, Grant) and with such breadth of content. This interview, in my opinion, was up there with the best.

Sorry Grant, this is probably the worst interviewee you have had on in your series. A lot of people have made comments about how great he was, but I do not see it. Maybe someone could enlighten me? I don't really know much about him, so I can only base my opinion on this interview. He has no passion whatsoever. I think if his eyes were closed, you might have to check for a pulse. Seriously, does this guy care about anything he talks about? Does he have insights that don't include insider trading and fleecing customers? What does a good partner look like and how do you find one? Maybe some insight that does not involve "do this good thing," and "don't do this bad thing" would have made this interview have a bit more depth. Grant, you did a great job trying to pull something useful out of this guy, just did not get much.

As usual, Grant knocks it out of the park. Some very good nuggets from Ed. Thanks for all you do Grant. You're truly an inspiration.

If he doesn't want to get involved in cryptos because they can be used for drug deals and money laundering, by the same logic, he shouldn't touch the USD with a barge pole. And considering the biggest mob is actually the government and central bankers, he should steer clear of all fiat currencies.

What a great interview! The human quality os Ed Mendel is humbling. It's unbelievable what you can lear about investment without a single reference to markets. Many thanks Grant. You are yourself a special person. The way you conduct the conversations with your guests is second to none to my knowledge. Keep on with the good work. José

For the first time in my RV viewing life, I found this interviewee to be odious despite his charming Southern demeanor. (As I am from the South, I learned a long time ago to look through the drawl to the substance of what a man says and does.) He openly emphasized how, as a broker, he had ripped off customers with high commissions available at the time. He overcharged third parties for research because their fiduciaries were willing to use "soft-dollars" to pay ridiculous prices (a clear SEC violation). He tried to bail on his employer, who took a risk hiring him as a very young man, shortly after meeting Ned Davis, and thereafter rode Ned Davis' coat tails to success. He admitted to trading on inside information as a tippee of Sam Walton. He, in passing, derided the company that bought his research firm for a handsome price. Bottom Line: he is a caricature of a stock market operator, a throw-back, very smooth but I found his shtick offensive.

Every time I listen to RV I'm hearing false misleading information. All the smartest people in world do not go to Wall Street. Having a background in science you'll find a lot of the real super brains go into research. A scientist is interested in how the natural world is made and works, which I find the most fascinating thing in life. Understanding life and how things are made make one realize just how much we don't know and how truly amazing this gift of life really is. Did Einstein go and work in the stock market? The super brains are obsessed with gaining knowledge and understanding things. You'll find they are working in places like the Hadron Collider in Switzerland working out how the world works by using different theories of particle physics, they usually aren't into money. Stock markets are man made, like the law, countries, politics and ideologies. They aren't natural law. I'm not saying that smart people don't work in the stock market but comments like all smart people go and work in wall street is wrong. I've seen scientific studies on wealthy business people and most of them have average IQ's but they do have very good people skills. There are also a lot of super brains working in IT and Tech. A lot of finance people I've met are only interested in their own pockets and arn't as smart as they thing.

Another great one Grant. Kudos to the Production team as incredible Colors, background and clarity of the video—great professional production!

Loved the section on being conscious of our choices around the quality of our relationships (be it personal or professional). We are relational beings and our choices in this area have an enormous impact on our lives. Thank you to both Grant and Mr Mendel for a quality conversation.

I was just starting to miss these. Thank you

Grant, you are one if not the best interviewer I ever seen, thanks for all you do for us. Only one problem, I am a New Orleans Saints fan.

Can we please have the option to have subtitles? Thanks in advance.

One thing that went through my mind as I was watching this, is how insulated the successful and educated are from the average and poor man, today versus his era. His life was filled with intelligent, thoughtful personalities guiding him and teaching him. Today it is somewhat different, the mixing of wealthy and non wealthy does not seem as likely. Though I do not have great evidence of this dynamic (outside of CEO pay to average employee), if it were true, Does that create a feedback loop further polarizing economic outcomes into the future?

Excellent interview. While the discussion did not focus on current markets (outside of crypto), it is interesting to hear a successful investor's past and the successes and mistakes they made. One also learns how luck and timing played into this success in addition to hard work and surrounding yourself with smart people.

top notch, love this part of real vision.

Brilliant. Great job Grant.

A warm insight into a legend’s journey, thanks for sharing with us Eddie & Grant

yesterday /BTC did just 2.51K contracts, and that was relatively a large volume day so at the moment nobody is trading it, nobody is interested. The crypto story, and it is only a story for now is a good one, at least for being a able to wax lyrical in front of your friends.

Thanks a lot Eddie & Grant! Another great interview!

Really enjoyed this interview!! Ed Mendel comes across as both sage&humble, like a good many Southern gentlemen I have known. His comment about his grandfather making a killing by purchasing railroad bonds for pennies on the dollar reinforces something I have observed in my forty years as an investor- more fortunes are made buying distressed debt than virtually any other investment method. Unfortunately, only a relative handful of people(Josh Friedman of Canyon comes to mind) have the brains& discipline to do this successfully!!

Guy with a "license to steal" whose license was rendered worthless by technology hates crypto

crypto = mob stocks......... great stuff

Old man had a good run. Those were the times. Nice interview.

Now I have to read Blink

Thanks, Grant, for another wonderful and insightful interview. I have actually met Ned Davis but I did not know much about Eddie Mendel. His concerns about the next 6 years are noteworthy.

Mendel's comments on feat currency, soft nationalism gaining momentum, income inequality, and political instability going forward are all road signs to heed. When a member of the 1% provides a head's up with a wink.......it tells me we are much closer to an historical moment than any of us have experienced, witnessed or read about.

Mr. Mendel is giving us what his Grandfather gave him. Thanks. Great interview. DLS

Tower Place! I used to be a broker in an office there.

Grant, thank you for bringing us the human whys.

Love Grants journeys

"Never short a cult stock." My first thought was Tesla.

Can't hit it out of the park every attempt. Doesn't take anything away from Grant. Just didn't really get much from this.

Please add NDR to think tank

Grant's grown quite the beard. That's how long its been since we've seen him on RV.
