Summary

Famed value investor Bill Miller of Miller Value Partners joins Ariel Investments co-CEO Mellody Hobson to share investment advice as war abroad escalates and inflation at home rises.

Hobson says value investors are enthusiastic about leisure and entertainment stocks, like hotels and casinos. Joe, Becky, and Andrew break down President Biden’s first State of the Union address and consider Russia’s implication for the oil markets and America’s tolerance for more inflation.
