Wealth Transfers and Public Markets
Michael Mauboussin and Patrick O'Shaughnessy discuss the concept of wealth transfers in equity transactions and the impact on public markets.

The conversation also touches on the phenomenon of companies delaying or avoiding listing their shares, resulting in wealth creation that is not captured by public market investors.In this clip
