Derek Pilecki - A Financials Specialist

For this episode of the Planet MicroCap Podcast, I spoke with Derek Pilecki. He is the Portfolio Manager at Gator Capital Management. After a great recommendation by friend of the show, Rich Howe from Stock Spinoff Investing, Derek and I found a time to connect and discuss all things financials. We chatted about regional banks, Puerto Rico, consumer finance, and what it's like starting a hedge fund in the middle of the Global Financial Crisis. Since launching Gator Capital, his fund's performance has been stellar - 21.52% Annual Compound Return, and I really enjoyed finding out why.  For more information about Gator Capital Management, please visit: https://gatorcapital.com/ You can Follow Derek Pilecki on Twitter @GatorCapital: https://twitter.com/gatorcapital Planet MicroCap Podcast is on YouTube!
