The Economic and Investment Lessons from Online Gaming with Andrew Wagner

On this weeks podcast I am happy to host Andrew Wagner, CIO of Wagner Road Capital Management and author of "The Economics of Online Gaming: A Player's Introduction to Economic Thinking". On this podcast we talk about his experience in the game "Eternal Lands", how during his teens he was able to create a monopoly in the game, the investing and economic lessons learnt from this experience and his book. Book Link: https://amzn.to/3j1HgQVAndrew is a writer, a researcher, an analyst, and a passionate advocate for economics education. His experience covers a broad range of investment strategies, asset classes, and industries. He has worked with industry-leading experts in the analysis of technology markets, value investing, turnaround situations, biotech start-ups, dividend investing, real estate investing, and macro industry and geographic trends.Andrew is now primarily an investment consultant. When a portfolio manager needs specialized research, but their team doesn’t have the time to take a deep dive, they call him. Or when a portfolio manager needs another analyst, but doesn’t have the budget for a full-time position, he can help to fill the gap. He typically worked with funds that have between $100 million and $500 million in assets under management, but considers potential clients of any size.
