Why we write more than we trade
Writing is how we find out whether we actually understand something.
Mistakes we've made, and what they cost
An honest inventory. The errors of omission hurt the most.
The switching cost moat
The most durable advantage is often the most boring. It is a hassle to leave.
Inflation and the businesses that shrug
Which companies pass it straight on, and which quietly drown in it.
What a good annual report tells you, and what it hides
We read the footnotes first. That is where the company stops performing.
Alignment is the whole strategy
We invest our own money in the same holdings, on the same terms. That is the design.
The case against diversification
Owning everything is a confession that you can't tell the difference.
Dividends, discipline and compounding
A dividend is a promise. We care most about what it does to behaviour.
On position sizing, and sleeping at night
How much to own is a question about temperament as much as analysis.
