To the best of my knowledge, the name Andrew Zatlin of Moneyball Economics is not one of the usual and repetitive suspects sleuthed in Gumshoeland. Can we give this one a try?

Zatlin claims that this investment is hated by Wall Street but has been quietly returning 17% a year for 97 years… all while increasing its payouts nearly every year for 53 years in a row…
“Unlike most inflation hedges… the payouts from this “hated” company keep going up, in good times and bad. As the prices of food, housing and energy go up thanks to inflation, the payouts from this investment are going up. As the stock market crashes due to recessions, the payouts go up… And right now, it’s looking like we’re facing one of those bad times.”

Certainly a hated stock, and also arguably the best stock of the last 70 years or so, though I’d be surprised if it continues to outperform — covered that one here: https://www.stockgumshoe.com/reviews/moneyballs-sector-alpha-report/moneyballs-almost-perfect-inflation-beater/
