"The best investments comes from the best businesses"
One of the investors who's made a big impact on me:
@JohnHuber72 of Saber Capital
I spent days pouring thru his articles and interviews in my early days...
Even had a doc with 20 pages of notes!
Here's my top 15 lessons:
1. You don't need original or unique investing ideas
You can simply wait for great businesses to be mispriced.
And then pounce when that happens.
In the meanwhile, don't dilute your portfolio with simply "good ideas"
Only accept the "great" ones
2. John's investing criteria for idiots
• Easy to understand businesses
• Generate lots of FCF
• Partner with good management teams
And then...
Sit back and WAIT for the fat pitch
3. Distaste for strikeouts > Desire for homeruns
John is okay with not making 10x returns in a short time.
And he has come to accept that.
Every investment strategy comes with its own features.
The key is knowing what they are and making sure it fits your personality.
4. One years results don't mean much
This was taken from John's 2016 letter...
1 year results can be random.
Don't feel too sad if you underperform...
Or get too confident when you outperform.
Zoom out and look at your performance over multi year periods instead.
