ANECDOTE

Ten Weeks Of Pandemic Learning

  • Howard and Andrew lived together for ten weeks during the pandemic and had constant, spirited investing discussions.
  • That time together sparked the memo and reframed Howard's thinking about value and growth.
INSIGHT

Edge Comes From Judgment Not Data

  • Readily available quantitative data cannot be a sustainable source of investment edge in today's markets.
  • Superior judgments about qualitative factors and the future produce lasting investment advantage.
ADVICE

  • Don't be reactive to price moves; distinguish price from intrinsic value before selling.
  • Hold compounding businesses rather than selling early simply because the price has risen.
