Lots of people think successful investing is about certainty but this Skull Session with Deiya Pernas of Pernas Research sits in uncertainty where information quality, narrative gaps, market inefficiencies, and disciplined analysis can drive better decisions than prediction. The discussion also covers how AI is reshaping software narratives, why less-followed and sometimes illiquid names can still create opportunity, and how the brothers think about businesses in terms of whether the underlying “motor” of a business is getting stronger or weaker. During my chat with Dean, we talked about motor investing. So it was nice to get Deiya’s point of view on this subject.
This Skull Session featured Deiya Pernas, an investor at Pernas Research, for a conversation on investing process, information arbitrage, AI, portfolio construction, and small-cap opportunities. The discussion opened with Deiya’s path into investing, shaped by poker, understanding, probabilities, emotional control, and decision-making under incomplete information.
