Listen "Dominique Mielle"
Episode Synopsis
The second episode of Read The Bull is an enlightening conversation with Dominique Mielle, author of "Damsel in Distressed: My Life in the Golden Age of Hedge Funds." Dominique is a hedge fund veteran who worked at distressed investing specialist Canyon Capital. Her career spanned 20 years and in the interview she touches on some her highlights as well as some of her missteps, including the time she invested in WorldCom bonds right before their accounting scandal. Dominique and host Stefan Prelog talk about the life cycle of companies and the various stages you can invest in a business. Dominique also talks about how her creativity helped her throughout her career. She addresses the lack of women in senior investing roles and discusses how she only ever met one woman who led her own firm. Dominique and Stefan discuss the state of hedge funds, their lack of outperformance and how they've mainly become asset gathers. Dominique details her journey to get her memoir published and talks about the difficulty securing a book deal. Dominique also gives her take on Ray Dalio's book "Principles." Spoiler alert: it's not flattering. Go to ReadTheBull.com for more information.
