On this week's Stansberry Investor Hour, Dan and Corey welcome Andrew Walker to the show. Andrew is a portfolio manager at value-oriented hedge fund Rangeley Capital and author of Yet Another Value Blog. He focuses on microcap, deep-value, and special-situations investments.

Andrew kicks off the show by sharing how he got his start as an investor and what inspired him to focus on value investing. He says that while value investing has gotten more competitive over the years, investors can still do well in this space if they think outside of the box. Andrew also discusses his renewed interest in special purpose acquisition companies ("SPACs") and whether de-SPACs are worth wading through for winners. (1:47)

Next, Andrew names a couple of companies he invested in and gives his reasoning for each play. The first is a bitcoin miner that emerged from bankruptcy. As Andrew explains, there are a multitude of problems with bitcoin mining, but this miner has managed to curtail some of those and stand out from the pack with its integration of AI. Andrew also talks about the revival of spinoffs, including one particular real estate investment trust that he likes thanks to its huge margin of safety. (15:43)

Finally, Andrew discusses another spinoff he has invested in – a company that owns prime real estate in Manhattan. It has a lot of cash and no debt on its balance sheet. And with legendary investor Bill Ackman's hedge fund owning nearly 40% of the company, Andrew believes there's much more upside ahead and that a turnaround is likely. (38:39)
