1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,640
Every three months we get to see
what the greatest investors in 

2
00:00:02,640 --> 00:00:05,720
the world are doing with their 
portfolios, what they're buying,

3
00:00:05,720 --> 00:00:08,000
what they're holding and what 
they're selling. 

4
00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:12,320
And we have the update. 
We have the 13 F filings for all

5
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:15,400
what I consider the greatest 
investors in the world. 

6
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:17,720
In this episode, we're going to 
be doing an in depth review into

7
00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:20,320
each of their portfolios and 
trades over the past three 

8
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:22,520
months. 
The goal here is to give insight

9
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:25,680
and context into what each of 
these great investors are 

10
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:28,680
thinking and doing. 
In my opinion, this episode, we 

11
00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:31,520
have the best list of super 
investors to cover that we've 

12
00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:33,120
ever had. 
Of course, we have Warren 

13
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:36,240
Buffett, but we also have Bill 
Ackman, Terry Smith, Dev 

14
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:39,360
Kantasaria, Josh Tarasoff, Pat 
Dorsey. 

15
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:41,880
We have Polling Capital, which 
is a great firm. 

16
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:45,200
Of course, we have Michael Bury,
We have Chris Hoehn, Marc 

17
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:48,880
Massey, and Chuck Aukri. 
That is 11 super investors, the 

18
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:50,880
most we've ever covered in a 
single episode. 

19
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:53,320
We have a lot to get into. 
Let's go ahead and start off 

20
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:55,800
with the big man himself, Warren
Buffett. 

21
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:58,480
When we look at Warren Buffett's
trades, one thing that we always

22
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:01,640
have to keep in context is that 
Warren Buffett always plays the 

23
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:04,239
long game. 
He builds things to last. 

24
00:01:04,239 --> 00:01:07,280
He doesn't take any chances. 
The reason that he's had a 

25
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:11,360
record that goes 40 years 
without any disaster or any real

26
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:15,360
problems with his companies is 
because he never takes big 

27
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:17,600
risks. 
And by big risks, he never takes

28
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:20,440
things that could potentially 
destroy his firm, destroy his 

29
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:22,400
company. 
He never over levers. 

30
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:24,280
He never gets himself in the 
trouble. 

31
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:26,840
He builds things to last. 
So when we look at his 

32
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:30,320
portfolio, his stock portfolio 
in and of itself is worth around

33
00:01:30,320 --> 00:01:34,320
$266 billion. 
So in and of itself, just as 

34
00:01:34,320 --> 00:01:38,560
publicly owned stocks are 
massive, it's like A S&P 500 

35
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:42,120
huge company in and of itself, 
but that also doesn't factor in 

36
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:44,000
all the wholly owned companies 
that he has. 

37
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:48,680
So this is only around 3040% of 
the overall portfolio of 

38
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:50,440
Berkshire. 
Now we can look at his current 

39
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:52,680
portfolio and we see the same 
familiar names here. 

40
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:56,400
We have Apple, American Express,
Bank of America, he has Apple 

41
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:58,280
and all the financials. 
But the first thing that I 

42
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:01,760
notice is that Apple's going 
down in total percentage of his 

43
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:04,800
overall portfolio. 
It used to be 40% of his 

44
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:08,000
publicly traded portfolio, now 
it's only 26. 

45
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:13,240
He's reduced Apple another 25%, 
which is 8.75% of his overall 

46
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:16,480
portfolio. 
So this is a massive reduction 

47
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:18,800
in shares. 
He continually is reducing 

48
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:20,240
Apple. 
Why is Warren Buffett 

49
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:22,000
continually reducing his Apple 
position? 

50
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:25,240
I think the answer is simple. 
Apple's traded up to a valuation

51
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:28,480
that's rather high. 
It's richly valued with A31 Ford

52
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:30,560
PE ratio, a free cash flow 
yield. 

53
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:33,280
That's 3%. 
When you factor in stock based 

54
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:35,880
comp, which Warren Buffett 
absolutely does in its 

55
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:38,800
valuations, that takes it to 
around 2.8%. 

56
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:41,320
So the valuation has gone up for
Apple. 

57
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:45,240
Warren Buffett's up 5X on this 
holding, maybe even more than 5X

58
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:46,440
when you factor in his 
dividends. 

59
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:49,840
So he's made a fortune on it. 
The valuation's higher and 

60
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:53,800
Apple's growth potential is 
looking a bit dimmed. 

61
00:02:53,920 --> 00:02:56,560
It doesn't look quite as bright 
as it did when Warren Buffett 

62
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:58,920
initially bought into it. 
Overall, the calculation of the 

63
00:02:58,920 --> 00:03:01,280
stock has flipped, and it makes 
sense that Warren Buffett's 

64
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:03,920
taking some off the table. 
He doesn't want quite as much 

65
00:03:03,920 --> 00:03:07,520
exposed to a company with such a
high valuation and with slower 

66
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:09,800
growth prospects. 
So this is how Warren Buffett 

67
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:11,800
handled his Apple position 
overall. 

68
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:15,280
He bought into it in 2016. 
This is a great time to be 

69
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:18,200
buying into Apple. 
He wasn't paying a lot during 

70
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:20,200
that time period. 
He held it all the way 

71
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:24,400
2018-2019. 
He trimmed the position slightly

72
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:26,960
in late 2020. 
That was a mistake because Apple

73
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:29,800
continued to soar up at that 
point, but not a big one because

74
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:31,480
he still held the majority of 
his stake. 

75
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:34,920
Then in late 2023, he really 
started to trim the company. 

76
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:38,640
In Q1 of 2024, he sold a bunch 
of the company. 

77
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:42,480
This was was breaking news. 
Now he's sold even more and you 

78
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:45,920
can see that he's cut his apple 
steak roughly in half over just 

79
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:49,440
the past four quarters. 
So Buffett is dumping his apple 

80
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:51,720
position. 
He wants out of this company. 

81
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:53,280
He wants to reduce his stake in 
it. 

82
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:56,760
He's not talking about it during
his shareholder meetings, and I 

83
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:58,480
think we outlined the reasons 
why. 

84
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:00,760
Now, when we look at Bank of 
America, this is his next 

85
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:04,080
largest trade. 
He sold down roughly 22% of his 

86
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:05,560
stake. 
If we look at this over time, 

87
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:08,120
this is the first major sell of 
Bank of America. 

88
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:10,600
But again, this one doesn't 
surprise me that much. 

89
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:13,720
I believe Warren Buffett thinks 
that the market, the economy, 

90
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:17,600
everything's getting overheated.
We can see the surging of stock 

91
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:20,760
prices in the market, and I 
think he wants less exposure 

92
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:22,800
overall. 
So he's selling out of these 

93
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:24,920
companies with his major 
positions. 

94
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:27,280
He's raising a ton of cash. 
Right now. 

95
00:04:27,280 --> 00:04:30,080
Berkshire has $320 billion in 
cash. 

96
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:33,760
They're gaining something like 
$15 billion a year in interest. 

97
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:35,400
And I think he doesn't mind 
that. 

98
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:38,000
He doesn't mind just sitting 
there with a ton of Treasuries, 

99
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:41,200
paying him interest, not 
worrying about stock prices and 

100
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:43,000
what's going on with the 
economy. 

101
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:45,480
So he's selling out of those big
companies, enjoying all the 

102
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:47,120
interest that he's getting on 
his treasuries. 

103
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:50,720
Another company that he sold out
of, and this one was a bit 

104
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:54,040
shocking and disappointing to 
some investors, was his Ulta 

105
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:56,880
position. 
Warren Buffett bought into Ulta.

106
00:04:56,920 --> 00:05:00,160
It made a lot of news. 
It was all over social media as 

107
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:03,080
a lot of people love this stock 
and he completely dumped the 

108
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:05,880
company. 
It doesn't shock me that he sold

109
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:08,320
out of Ulta. 
It is, after all, a very niche 

110
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:10,920
retailer, something that I 
couldn't see Warren Buffett 

111
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:13,320
holding long term. 
But if we look at his holding of

112
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:17,640
this company, he bought into it 
at around 385 and sold at 389. 

113
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:19,800
So this is not a good trade from
Berkshire. 

114
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:22,600
It was another one that really 
didn't move the needle at all. 

115
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:25,320
Now other than that, the trades 
in his portfolio that stand out 

116
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:29,560
are two new positions we have 
Domino's Pizza and Pool Court. 

117
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:32,440
Now, keep in mind these are very
small positions for the 

118
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:37,800
Berkshire portfolio, only .06 
percent, .21%, so really small 

119
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:40,040
positions. 
But this does give these 

120
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:43,400
companies the stamp of approval 
from Berkshire, the stamp of 

121
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:45,960
approval from Buffett. 
It is true that it's probably 

122
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:48,640
one of his employees, his 
lieutenants doing these buys. 

123
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:51,000
But Buffett always gives the 
stamp of approval. 

124
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:54,120
He's given the OK for these 
companies to make it in the 

125
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:57,040
Berkshire portfolio. 
So that in and of itself is good

126
00:05:57,040 --> 00:06:00,440
news for Domino's and Pool Corp.
Now, I don't always agree with 

127
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:02,520
Warren Buffett's buys. 
In fact, I've been a vocal 

128
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:05,400
critic of many of the buys he's 
done, including his buy into 

129
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:07,000
Paramount. 
That was a mistake from the 

130
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,000
beginning. 
All they did was buy into to 

131
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:10,640
that company and sell it much 
lower. 

132
00:06:10,840 --> 00:06:14,200
Paramount is a subscale 
streaming company, very troubled

133
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:17,400
company from the very beginning.
So I was a vocal critic of him 

134
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:20,600
buying in a Paramount as well as
Ally Financial. 

135
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:23,280
He bought that one right at the 
top of the car market. 

136
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:25,760
I thought it was a mistake. 
And that one didn't do well for 

137
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:28,600
Berkshire either. 
So I'm not always in agreement 

138
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:31,360
of what Berkshire is buying or 
what Warren Buffett's buying. 

139
00:06:31,840 --> 00:06:35,240
But these buys into Domino's and
Pool Corp, I think are both 

140
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:36,720
great. 
I like both of them. 

141
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:40,320
Domino's and Pool Corp are both 
compounding machines. 

142
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:43,840
They are great companies with 
great legacies, great histories.

143
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:46,920
They have great financials. 
If we look at Domino's, for 

144
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:50,160
example, this is the revenue 
line on a trailing basis, 

145
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:53,880
continually growing revenue over
time looks very good. 

146
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:57,240
Organic growth a little slower 
than what I would prefer. 

147
00:06:57,640 --> 00:06:59,840
But with Berkshire, you don't 
need the fastest revenue growth.

148
00:06:59,840 --> 00:07:01,520
You just need one that you're 
going to grow over time. 

149
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:05,280
The free cash flow shows a 
company that was surging up 

150
00:07:05,280 --> 00:07:07,800
until 2020. 
That makes sense with the stay 

151
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:10,600
at home mandate. 
And then since then, the free 

152
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:11,960
cash flow has gone down a little
bit. 

153
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:14,960
Sales have come down a little 
bit, but now you're seeing a 

154
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:17,480
resurgence. 
Domino's has finally normalized 

155
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:18,800
and it's starting to pick up 
again. 

156
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:22,040
And this is a super free cash 
flow positive company that 

157
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:25,760
trades at a decent valuation. 
Domino's has a long history of 

158
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:28,960
being a compounding machine. 
It is a franchise company. 

159
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:31,240
They're everywhere, they're easy
to order. 

160
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:33,120
It's food that almost everyone 
likes. 

161
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:36,160
So this is a company that has 
very high upside. 

162
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:38,920
It's one that can continue 
compounding for years and years 

163
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:41,320
in the future. 
When I look at the company, I 

164
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:44,120
also think it has rather minimum
downside. 

165
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:47,280
I don't think any pizza joints 
going to out compete Domino's. 

166
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:50,800
I think the valuation in terms 
of the Ford PE ratio and the 

167
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:53,320
free cash flow yield are also 
rather low. 

168
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:56,600
So there's risk in every 
company, but I see this one as a

169
00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:59,200
great risk and reward for the 
Berkshire Portfolio. 

170
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:02,200
Pool Corp is another one that I 
have to say I just like. 

171
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:04,520
I like this buy into the 
Berkshire Portfolio. 

172
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:07,200
I think it fits well. 
I think whoever is deciding to 

173
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:09,280
do these buys is on the right 
track. 

174
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:10,880
Now. 
Pool Corp's an interesting 

175
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:13,000
company. 
If you're not aware of what Pool

176
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:16,960
Corp does, it's all in the name.
This company does everything 

177
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:19,760
with backyard pools. 
So think about your backyard 

178
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:23,040
neighborhood pool. 
Think about the pool itself and 

179
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:26,160
the construction, the materials.
Pool Corp provides that. 

180
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:30,000
Think about the filters and the 
drains and the little vacuum 

181
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:33,480
machines that clean it up and 
the Nets to sweep Leafs and 

182
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:36,559
stuff off the top of the pool. 
Pool Corp provides all of that. 

183
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:39,919
Think about all the chemicals, 
the treatments, the measuring, 

184
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:43,200
everything that has to do with 
maintaining a backyard pool. 

185
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:46,480
Pool Corp provides all of that. 
Think about all the companies 

186
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:49,040
that go out and service pools 
and they come up with their vans

187
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:50,960
and every single week they come 
in and make sure things are 

188
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:53,320
running well. 
Pool Corp provides all of the 

189
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:57,280
products that they use. 
Pool Corp has a monopoly on the 

190
00:08:57,280 --> 00:09:00,200
backyard pool. 
That's what this company does. 

191
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:03,160
So when you're investing in Pool
Corp, you're investing in the 

192
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:06,280
backyard pool and whether or not
that's going to grow over time, 

193
00:09:06,560 --> 00:09:08,360
whether the service business is 
going to grow. 

194
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:11,680
Now, obviously they make a lot 
of revenue from first time 

195
00:09:11,680 --> 00:09:14,120
installers, so that's the 
biggest upfront cost. 

196
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:16,840
That's when you pay like 
$100,000 or whatever it may be 

197
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:19,560
to get a big backyard pool, but 
then it doesn't. 

198
00:09:19,560 --> 00:09:21,960
And then when you install a 
pool, you know there's going to 

199
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:25,200
be some level of maintenance. 
So they make residual income 

200
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:28,360
selling all these products and 
chemicals to all their 

201
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:31,680
suppliers, all their maintainers
after the pool's already 

202
00:09:31,680 --> 00:09:34,640
installed. 
So as the pool base grows, so 

203
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:36,680
does Pool Corp's reoccurring 
revenue. 

204
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:41,720
Now, obviously there's some 
skewedness in the revenue 

205
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:44,200
growth. 
It grew dramatically since 

206
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:46,520
COVID. 
People again want to have 

207
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:49,040
experiences when they're locked 
at home and they're bored. 

208
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:52,040
They start spending money in 
their stimulus checks and all of

209
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:54,920
that low interest rate debt that
they could get. 

210
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:57,120
They spent all of that on 
backyard pools. 

211
00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:00,600
I saw the same thing during the 
past couple of years after 

212
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:02,880
COVID. 
I saw so many people around me 

213
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:06,800
get backyard pools, low interest
rates and fusion of stimulus. 

214
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:10,560
You got yourself a backyard pool
now that hit a peak. 

215
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:13,720
Like every single pull forward 
of demand hit a peak and it 

216
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:15,640
started to go down. 
And I think what Berkshire is 

217
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:19,360
doing here is saying this is 
probably close to the end of it.

218
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:22,160
It's starting to normalize and 
we're going to see revenue 

219
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:25,120
growth relatively soon. 
So we're going to get ahead of 

220
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:26,520
that. 
We're going to invest in it now.

221
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:29,520
Once the company starts seeing 
revenue growth, once it starts 

222
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:32,480
organically growing again, we 
can see the free cash flows grow

223
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:35,920
over time and it will end up 
growing again. 

224
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:40,000
This company has a monopoly. 
They have the marketplace pools 

225
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:41,440
are going to be a thing of the 
future. 

226
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:44,120
I like this buy. 
So regarding both of Berkshire's

227
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:46,760
new buys, I like both of them. 
I think both of these are great.

228
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:50,160
But overall, I think the message
is clear from Warren Buffett. 

229
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:53,840
Right now, he's not an overall 
net buyer of stocks. 

230
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:56,040
He is a seller. 
He's hoarding cash. 

231
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:59,040
He believes the market's 
overvalued, and he doesn't buy 

232
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:01,200
into hysteria. 
So while the rest of us are 

233
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:03,840
celebrating stocks moving up 
every single day, Warren 

234
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:06,800
Buffett's fine just holding on 
to his vast empire of different 

235
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:08,240
companies that he's already 
purchased. 

236
00:11:08,560 --> 00:11:10,960
He's fine and having Berkshire 
make gains over time. 

237
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:14,080
He's fine collecting interest, 
but he's not going to continue 

238
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:16,440
paying a higher and higher price
for companies. 

239
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:19,320
He will not buy into the 
hysteria that everyone else 

240
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:21,040
does. 
When eventually things turn 

241
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:23,880
around and we see those days 
where the market goes down 3% 

242
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:27,720
and 5% in a single day and it 
becomes very scary, Buffett's 

243
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:30,400
going to sit there with 300 plus
billion dollars in cash. 

244
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:34,360
So right now Buffett is in 
defensive mode and overall I 

245
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:36,520
think that's the right 
positioning from Berkshire. 

246
00:11:36,560 --> 00:11:39,120
Now Next up we have the activist
investor turned activist 

247
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:41,120
political commentator, Bill 
Ackman. 

248
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:44,240
Bill Ackman runs Pershing Square
Capital, it's a firm that he 

249
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:47,600
started and the hedge fund has 
had rather good performance with

250
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:51,720
17% returns for the past 20 
years and net of fees that beats

251
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:53,400
out the huge majority of hedge 
funds. 

252
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:57,240
So you can think what you want 
about Bill's politics, but the 

253
00:11:57,240 --> 00:11:59,640
numbers speak for himself. 
He's a decent investor. 

254
00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:02,240
When we look at Bill Ackman's 
portfolio, he currently manages 

255
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:05,280
around $12 billion. 
And one thing to note, this 

256
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:08,520
shows the US holdings, it 
doesn't show Universal Music 

257
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:12,200
Group, which is currently his 
largest position at around 15%. 

258
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:16,240
So just imagine right at the top
here, there's UMG, Universal 

259
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:18,240
Music Group. 
That's his largest holding. 

260
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:20,560
Now keeping that in mind, when 
we look at his most recent 

261
00:12:20,560 --> 00:12:23,520
trades over the past three 
months, his biggest trade is 

262
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:26,520
buying into Brookfield Corp, 
ticker symbol BN. 

263
00:12:26,560 --> 00:12:29,440
Brookfield Corp is an asset 
manager and investment company. 

264
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:32,640
It's a bit of a REIT and real 
estate company managed by the 

265
00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:35,520
charming Bruce Flat. 
If you haven't listened to Bruce

266
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:37,120
Flat, just search him on 
YouTube. 

267
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:39,520
He's the CEO of the company. 
He's the one that's ran the 

268
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:43,360
thing for like 20 plus years and
he's made most of his investors 

269
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:47,160
filthy rich in the process. 
The history is very illustrious 

270
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:49,920
for Bruce Flat. 
He's had great returns for a 

271
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:52,920
long period of time and he does 
all these specialized 

272
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:55,480
investments into huge 
infrastructure projects that 

273
00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:58,320
very predictable ROI. 
So it makes sense that Bill 

274
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:01,360
Ackman is attracted to this 
investment vehicle. 

275
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:04,400
He's upped his stake 
dramatically in this company, 

276
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:06,400
making it one of his largest 
positions. 

277
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:10,880
So he bought 10% of his 
portfolio weight in this 

278
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:16,120
company, in fact almost 11%, a 
big bet into BN, which is 

279
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:18,360
interesting because when I look 
at BN and we look at the stock 

280
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:20,640
price, we can look at the stock 
price here. 

281
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:24,200
I don't know quite when he got 
into it, but here's the past 

282
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:27,000
three months, unless he bought 
it right at the beginning of the

283
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:31,040
past three months, he bought it 
during during a stock surge. 

284
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:33,880
So it looks like he's not trying
to get the best deal because 

285
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:37,000
this stock has been going up all
year long and he just recently 

286
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:39,560
bought into it sometime right 
around here. 

287
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:41,720
So he thinks right now is a good
deal. 

288
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:44,120
He doesn't have anchoring bias. 
He doesn't think he had to buy 

289
00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:45,960
it here. 
He still thinks the future is 

290
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:47,600
good. 
And I think Bill Ackman might be

291
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:49,320
right. 
Brookfield Corp likely has a 

292
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:51,320
bright future. 
The other company that he 

293
00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:53,960
increased his stake in 
dramatically over the past three

294
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:57,080
months is Nike. 
Bill Ackman has a history with 

295
00:13:57,080 --> 00:13:58,760
Nike. 
He's invested in this company 

296
00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:00,720
before. 
The last time that he invested 

297
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:04,080
in it, he bought it during a dip
during a 52 week low. 

298
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:08,480
He made a quick $100 million as 
a stock price just ebbed and 

299
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:11,640
flowed back upwards, and he's 
trying to do the exact same 

300
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:14,320
thing now. 
Nike is at a low. 

301
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:17,720
If we zoom out the past five 
years, look at this low, it was 

302
00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:22,680
up to 180 back in 2021. 
And now the stock price is, 

303
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:27,760
let's see, it's at 74. 
So from 180 to 74, you got the 

304
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:31,400
brand logo, Nike, you got the 
history of Nike. 

305
00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:35,280
This is one he's willing to take
a big swing on and put 10% of 

306
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:39,320
his portfolio into the company. 
I think this is another decent 

307
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:41,920
buy by Bill Ackman. 
I see why he's doing it. 

308
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:45,480
It makes sense. 
Nike's a company to me that I 

309
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:48,480
still think has a bit more risk 
than what Bill Ackman and other 

310
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:52,200
investors think. 
Hoka wasn't a thing in 2019. 

311
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:57,000
On shoes wasn't a thing in 2021.
Brooks Skechers making a 

312
00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:59,720
comeback. 
New Balance signing a bunch of 

313
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:02,760
athletes onto their shoes. 
There's a lot of things that 

314
00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:07,200
changed since 2020 that I think 
factor in to the stock price 

315
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:08,960
decline. 
But overall, even with my 

316
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:11,600
concerns about Nike, I still 
think this is a decent pick for 

317
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:14,200
Bill Ackman buying this company 
at the price he is. 

318
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:16,240
I think the risk reward is still
rather good. 

319
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:17,960
It's definitely a positive risk 
reward. 

320
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:20,680
So when we look at the overall 
portfolio, one thing that looks 

321
00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:23,480
a little different here than you
might think is when you combine 

322
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:28,440
GOOG&GOOGL, when you combine 
both of that, that actually 

323
00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:30,080
makes it at the very top of this
list. 

324
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:33,240
So Google would be above 
Brookfield Corp here in his 

325
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:36,080
total portfolio waiting since he
split it between the two 

326
00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:37,920
tickers, it's way down here at 
the bottom. 

327
00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:40,480
But for all intents and 
purposes, Google is one of his 

328
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:43,240
main positions right now. 
Then we have Brookfield Corp, 

329
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:46,880
then we have Hilton Chipotle, 
which he didn't sell any of over

330
00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:49,200
the past three months. 
I thought that was interesting. 

331
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:52,160
He's holding on during the 
little dip in Chipotle, wants to

332
00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:54,000
get a higher price point for the
sale. 

333
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:56,720
Then we have Restaurant Brands 
International. 

334
00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:58,840
I don't love this company's 
portfolio. 

335
00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:02,200
Maybe he sees something I don't.
Howard Hughes Corp, that's his 

336
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:04,520
own specialized deal in real 
estate. 

337
00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:07,440
And then we have Nike, Canadian 
Pacific and then a couple 

338
00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:09,600
companies that don't even make 
up half a percentage. 

339
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:11,920
When I look at the trades of 
Bill Ackman, I like both of 

340
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:13,560
them. 
I like that he's buying Nike 

341
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:15,560
into weakness. 
I think that's a decent trade. 

342
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:18,440
And I like the Brookfield Corp 
addition to his portfolio. 

343
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:21,480
I think it's a great company 
with great stewardship over it. 

344
00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:24,280
So Bill Ackman has a stronger 
portfolio today than he did 

345
00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:26,120
three months ago. 
Good job, Bill Ackman. 

346
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:29,000
Next up, we have the legendary 
British investor Terry Smith 

347
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:32,680
that manages over $25 billion. 
And so far, his performance has 

348
00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:35,120
beat out the S&P 500 by a narrow
margin. 

349
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:37,960
But the past couple of years, 
he's made a series of blunders, 

350
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:41,160
particularly with his cells. 
He sold companies at the wrong 

351
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:43,080
time. 
He sold Amazon at a low. 

352
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:45,200
He sold into it right before it 
took off. 

353
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:48,360
He held on the PayPal too long 
and then sold it at a low. 

354
00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:51,080
So he's made a series of 
mistakes and he's trying to make

355
00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:54,000
a bit of a recovery, trying to 
turn things around with this 

356
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:55,520
fund. 
Now, when we look at Terry 

357
00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:59,440
Smith's latest trades, there's 
just not much hair. 

358
00:16:59,920 --> 00:17:03,120
For example, the biggest trade 
he made to his overall portfolio

359
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:05,359
was selling a little bit of 
McCormick. 

360
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:11,200
He sold down 2.71%, so he sold 
82% of his McCormick position. 

361
00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:13,599
Basically, this is a way of 
saying that he's dumping the 

362
00:17:13,599 --> 00:17:15,119
position. 
He wants to get out of 

363
00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:18,079
McCormick. 
Now McCormick is of course the 

364
00:17:18,079 --> 00:17:20,319
spice maker. 
The company makes all the 

365
00:17:20,319 --> 00:17:22,200
flavours. 
They're a flavour expert. 

366
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:26,000
When I look at this company, 
it's not one that I would invest

367
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:27,800
in. 
And the reason why is simple. 

368
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:31,240
I do a lot of at home cooking. 
I like cooking different meals. 

369
00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:36,040
And my cabinet, my spice cabinet
upstairs is full of a million 

370
00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:38,240
brands of spices that are non 
McCormick. 

371
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:40,960
There's so many different ones 
that are great from different 

372
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:43,240
brands. 
And the truth is, I think this 

373
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:45,560
company is continually losing 
market share. 

374
00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:48,840
There's so many flavour 
companies and spice companies. 

375
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:52,680
I see them on the shelves of 
Costco and Target and Smith's 

376
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:56,280
and Kroger's everywhere you go. 
They have their custom label 

377
00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:59,520
brands, their private label. 
They have third party brands 

378
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:01,880
that are non McCormick. 
I just see more and more of that

379
00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:06,080
going on. 
So my simple taste test here, my

380
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:08,840
sample size of the market is 
that this company's going to 

381
00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:12,240
struggle to grow with this 
onslaught of competition coming 

382
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:15,280
in and the revenue shows that. 
Look at the revenue of the 

383
00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:17,280
company. 
It's barely growing. 

384
00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:21,440
It grew 1% over the past one 
year and that is of course not 

385
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:23,840
inflation adjusted. 
So it's actually shrinking in 

386
00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:26,120
market share when you factor in 
inflation. 

387
00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:28,320
So I like this trade. 
I like that Terry Smith is 

388
00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:30,760
dumping McCormick and hopefully 
can do something else with the 

389
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:32,200
money. 
When we look at Terry Smith's 

390
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:34,840
portfolio overall, I would say 
it's very conservative. 

391
00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:38,200
He has 40 different positions. 
He does weight them more heavily

392
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:40,440
towards the top holdings, which 
are Microsoft and Meta. 

393
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:43,920
And I think overall with this 
level of diversification, he's 

394
00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:46,760
not going to see dramatic 
outperformance of the indices. 

395
00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:49,960
His goal here is to protect the 
capital of his investors and 

396
00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:52,840
grow it in a stable manner 
slowly over time. 

397
00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:55,200
Now Next up, we have Dev 
Kantasaria, who is quickly 

398
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:57,320
growing his portfolio to massive
size. 

399
00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:00,000
It currently has a value of over
4 1/2 billion dollars. 

400
00:19:00,360 --> 00:19:03,240
Just a couple years ago, he's 
only managing $1 billion. 

401
00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:06,520
So he's forexed his portfolio. 
He's gotten more inflows from 

402
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:09,840
investors as he's had 
spectacular market beating 

403
00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:13,160
results from both the QQQ and 
the S&P 500. 

404
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:17,080
Dev Cantosari has blown it away.
He's starting to make a real 

405
00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:19,240
name for himself. 
When I listen to Dev Cantosari, 

406
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:22,600
I speak and execute a strategy. 
He strikes me as a very high IQ 

407
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:25,360
individual and a very 
disciplined individual in 

408
00:19:25,360 --> 00:19:28,400
executing his strategy. 
It's been incredible to see what

409
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:30,480
he's really done with his 
portfolio. 

410
00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:33,760
While we have so many investors 
out there, ones that I'm not 

411
00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:36,240
covering in this video, but 
there's so many hedge fund 

412
00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:38,800
managers, they just copy the 
index. 

413
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:40,840
They make no bets into 
individual companies. 

414
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:43,360
They just spread out their bets 
amongst a ton of different 

415
00:19:43,360 --> 00:19:45,280
companies and basically match 
the index. 

416
00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:48,640
Dev does it differently. 
He makes significant 

417
00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:52,880
concentrated bets into companies
with a deep understanding of 

418
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:56,000
what the company is, the pricing
power of it, and the future 

419
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:58,360
value of it. 
The company that he did this 

420
00:19:58,360 --> 00:20:02,240
with over the past five years? 
Is Fair Isaac FICO. 

421
00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:06,880
This is now 35% of the 
Devcantesaria Valley Forge 

422
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:11,480
capital portfolio, 35% Now it 
didn't start that way. 

423
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:15,240
When we look at his most recent 
trades, he's starting to sell a 

424
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:18,800
little bit of the company. 
His biggest trade was only 3%. 

425
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:22,600
He trimmed 7% of his Fair Isaac 
position. 

426
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:25,240
So he's selling a little bit. 
But let's go ahead and just take

427
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:28,280
a look at how he's handled this 
company over the years. 

428
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:30,200
We look at the trading history 
here. 

429
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:33,880
He's had this one on the radar 
since at least 2018. 

430
00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:36,840
So it's been a company that he's
held around 300,000 shares of. 

431
00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:43,120
But then in Q4 of 2020, Dev 
realized something with FICO and

432
00:20:43,120 --> 00:20:46,280
he wanted to own the company. 
What did he realize during this 

433
00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:49,000
critical time period? 
He realized that they were going

434
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:51,720
for volume. 
FICO was making their score 

435
00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:56,080
ubiquitous for 10 years, gaining
market share over every other 

436
00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:58,960
scoring alternative. 
And then he realized that they 

437
00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:02,320
were implementing a structured 
pricing care that would 

438
00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:06,520
dramatically increase the price 
of the FICO score up hundreds of

439
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:09,600
percentages, making it so that 
their free cash flow with their 

440
00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:14,480
huge volume would explode. 
Consider if Netflix with their 

441
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:19,080
280 million subscribers was 
capable or able to raise their 

442
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:23,880
prices 5X in a single year from 
16 bucks a month or 7 bucks a 

443
00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:27,200
month up to $70.00 a month or 
$100 a month. 

444
00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:29,000
Of course, Netflix can't do 
that. 

445
00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:32,080
Everybody would rebel. 
With FICO, that's essentially 

446
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:34,920
what they did. 
They raised the prices hundreds 

447
00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:38,120
of percentages and nobody 
rebelled because the prices were

448
00:21:38,120 --> 00:21:40,800
so low to begin with. 
Most people don't notice. 

449
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:43,920
Dev Kantasaria realized that 
this is on the horizon because 

450
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:47,480
of his studying of this company.
He bought in heavily in Q1 of 

451
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:49,600
2021. 
He continued to hold and then he

452
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:52,560
bought more and more, especially
with the inflows in the company.

453
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:57,400
He got all the way up to a share
count of 963,000,000 shares. 

454
00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:01,160
That was in 2022 and he held on 
to that share count through an 

455
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:05,400
epic surge in price of FICO all 
the way until Q4 of 2024. 

456
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:08,800
When we look at the prices here,
he basically was buying into 

457
00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:13,320
FICO when it was underneath the 
price of $700.00 per share, and 

458
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:17,240
that's when he started to sell. 
So as soon as FICO hit $700.00 

459
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:20,880
per share, he started to trim 
the position just slightly 

460
00:22:21,120 --> 00:22:26,280
trimming 2% one quarter, 4% 
another quarter, 2% another 

461
00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:30,840
quarter only -.34% this quarter.
And then this most recent 

462
00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:35,720
quarter is his largest trim he's
done at FICO, trimming off 7.86%

463
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:38,120
of his position. 
So when we look at this, he is 

464
00:22:38,120 --> 00:22:41,640
selling every single quarter, 
but we look at the total sales 

465
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:44,400
by comparison and he's not 
selling that much. 

466
00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:46,520
Look how much he's reducing his 
position. 

467
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:52,200
He's only reduced it around 15% 
overall and the share price has 

468
00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:57,440
gone from $300.00 when he was 
first buying it up to $2000 per 

469
00:22:57,440 --> 00:22:59,960
share. 
Not only did he buy into FICO 

470
00:22:59,960 --> 00:23:03,840
well, but he's handled his 
shares and holding of it very, 

471
00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:05,640
very well. 
This should be looked at as one 

472
00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:08,440
of the most significant best 
trades ever from a super 

473
00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:10,440
investor. 
Now that he did trim his FICO 

474
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:13,440
position a couple percentage 
points of his overall portfolio,

475
00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:16,200
he moved that money mostly into 
ASML. 

476
00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:19,840
He doubled his position in ASML 
and then he also bought a little

477
00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:22,960
bit more Moody's and A little 
bit more S&P Global, which I 

478
00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:25,520
love seeing because I own both 
Moody's and S&P Global. 

479
00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:28,680
If Dev Cantesar is buying into 
the company, that's another 

480
00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:31,560
stamp of approval that at least 
he thinks there's decent value 

481
00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:33,240
here. 
He also gave a nice stamp of 

482
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:36,800
approval right now for ASML and 
it seems obvious why he's buying

483
00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:40,040
the company right now. 
He's owned a bit of ASML and it 

484
00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:43,720
is in the red. 
Year to date, ASML has had its 

485
00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:46,680
demand go down as we went 
through a big influx. 

486
00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:50,320
We see the total net bookings 
here go down a little bit, and 

487
00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:53,880
Dev Kantasaria is betting on a 
recovery in this share price. 

488
00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:57,920
Now, the reason that he likes 
ASML, from his own words is he 

489
00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:00,680
says that basically right now 
there's a lot of AI companies. 

490
00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:03,040
It's hard to predict which ones 
are going to be the winners. 

491
00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:06,040
But he knows that at least ASML 
is going to make a lot of money 

492
00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:09,040
during the next 10 years 
supporting all these various AI 

493
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:11,240
companies. 
Because ASML of course designs, 

494
00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:14,520
manufacturers and implements 
these highly critical machines, 

495
00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:17,800
these lithography machines that 
are critical in the production 

496
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:21,040
of semi chips. 
So this plays a very important 

497
00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:24,120
role in the overall AI theme for
the next 10 years. 

498
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:27,480
He considers it a predictable 
player in that category. 

499
00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:31,520
Now not to be mistaken, ASML is 
still a very small position in 

500
00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:35,120
his portfolio, only 2% and other
than that he still holds 

501
00:24:35,120 --> 00:24:39,000
relatively the same portfolio, 
super huge weighting towards 

502
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:42,880
FICO 35%. 
He loves S&P Global, he's owned 

503
00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:46,640
this company for over a decade. 
He loves a MasterCard, Moody's, 

504
00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:51,520
Intuit, Visa, and so I think 
that he has one of the strongest

505
00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:54,040
portfolios in the market. 
The only real criticism I can 

506
00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:56,880
think of Dev Cantisari's 
portfolio here is that there's 

507
00:24:56,880 --> 00:24:59,120
some overlapping factors with 
his companies. 

508
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:01,720
A lot of these have to do with 
debt markets and credit. 

509
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:05,960
So if the theme of debt markets 
didn't do well, if consumers 

510
00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:09,000
took out less debt, companies 
took out less debt, that would 

511
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:12,040
be a headwind for his portfolio.
But I just don't think that's 

512
00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:13,960
going to happen. 
Companies are going to take out 

513
00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:16,160
more debt, consumers are going 
to take out more debt. 

514
00:25:16,360 --> 00:25:18,840
It's just the way of the world 
and he's well positioned for it 

515
00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:19,960
Now. 
Next up, we have the Super 

516
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:22,840
investor Josh Terasov that 
manages a little over $300 

517
00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:25,280
million. 
So this is a small portfolio 

518
00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:27,960
relative to other super 
investors, but I like that he 

519
00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:30,480
has a highly concentrated 
portfolio, only in nine 

520
00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:32,880
positions. 
When we look at what's gone on 

521
00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:36,720
with Josh Terasov over the past 
three months, he's done a series

522
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:40,280
of cells. 
He sold 8% out of his Brookfield

523
00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:44,080
Corp position, 8% of his total 
portfolio, which is 33% of the 

524
00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:46,920
position. 
He sold 6% of his portfolio out 

525
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:50,080
of the Microsoft position. 
He sold another 6% out of 

526
00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:53,720
Amazon. 
He sold 1.5% out of Tesla, and 

527
00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:56,040
so on. 
He didn't really do any buying 

528
00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:58,600
glass quarter. 
And what this means is that Josh

529
00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:02,200
Terasov needed to raise money to
pay out some of his investors. 

530
00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:05,280
This is called redemptions, 
meaning they invest other 

531
00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:08,080
people's money, sometimes for 
different reasons. 

532
00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:09,600
Those people want their money 
back. 

533
00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:12,480
Josh Terasov has to make sales 
to pay that money back. 

534
00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:17,280
So I don't really see this as 
real trading or him building his

535
00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:19,720
portfolio. 
What I see is him selling the 

536
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:21,960
companies that have done 
exceptionally well over the past

537
00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:23,680
year. 
So overall, not much change 

538
00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:25,560
quarter over quarter for Josh 
Terasov. 

539
00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:28,720
He has a list of decent 
companies, but I still think his

540
00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:31,280
portfolio lacks any type of 
meaningful structure. 

541
00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:34,360
He trades into companies and out
of companies rather frequently. 

542
00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:38,360
A number of his recent trades 
have not great, so his trading 

543
00:26:38,360 --> 00:26:39,880
has given me a little bit of 
pause. 

544
00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:41,960
It's not a strategy that I would
emulate now. 

545
00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:44,080
Next up we have the Super 
investor, Pat Dorsey. 

546
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:47,040
He's the guy that's originally 
behind the Morningstar Mote 

547
00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:50,080
analysis where they try to 
dissect the different network 

548
00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:52,480
effects or competitive 
advantages that a different 

549
00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:55,200
company has. 
He's one that developed that and

550
00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:57,920
now he's since gone his own way,
started his own fund, and he 

551
00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:00,640
manages a billion dollars, so 
he's doing quite well for 

552
00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:02,720
himself. 
When we look at Pat Dorsey's 

553
00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:06,720
most recent trades, there's one 
that's highly questionable right

554
00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:09,680
here. 
His biggest trade by far was 

555
00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:15,360
buying a 10% position, so 10% 
into App Lovin. 

556
00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:20,400
Now App Lovin is the best 
performing stock in the market 

557
00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:23,640
year to date. 
So in the entire S&P 500, 

558
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:26,000
basically in the entire stock 
market, this one has done the 

559
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:31,360
best, up 667% year to date. 
This is a company that does AI 

560
00:27:31,360 --> 00:27:33,040
marketing. 
It doesn't seem that 

561
00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:35,400
exceptional. 
But when investors really found 

562
00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:37,360
out about what they're doing, 
they started to buy it up. 

563
00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:42,280
Now, what makes this investment 
so questionable by Pat Dorsey is

564
00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:45,480
the update is from the date of 
November 14th. 

565
00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:49,840
So the update is from, right. 
If we look at it right here, 

566
00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:53,000
it's from right, November 14th 
right there. 

567
00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:57,080
That's when the update occurred.
So he could have bought this 

568
00:27:57,080 --> 00:28:01,800
company at a price of 159 or he 
could have bought it at a price 

569
00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:06,240
of 286. 
Did he buy it at 189 or 286? 

570
00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:08,560
We have no clue. 
We just know that he bought it 

571
00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:11,400
sometime 90 days before November
14th. 

572
00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:14,200
So we don't know whether or not 
this was an incredible buy that 

573
00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:18,400
he bought 87% lower or whether 
it's a buy that's brand new and 

574
00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:20,440
it might turn out well. 
But I can't really assess 

575
00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:23,320
whether or not this was a great 
buy or not a great buy when I 

576
00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:24,920
don't know what price he bought 
it. 

577
00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:27,880
And with the huge change in 
share price, that really changes

578
00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:30,840
the the other trades that he did
was he sold out a lot of 

579
00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:33,160
Smartsheet. 
I think he sold this position to

580
00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:35,880
buy into App 11 and he sold a 
bit of SEM rush. 

581
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:38,360
There was a time period a couple
years ago where I was really 

582
00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:41,360
critical about Pat Dorsey. 
He was buying and holding and 

583
00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:43,920
selling everything during the 
wrong time, destroying his 

584
00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:46,120
investors money. 
But he's really gotten that 

585
00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:48,040
under control. 
I think he's really honed in his

586
00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:49,720
strategy over the past two 
years. 

587
00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:51,480
He's held a lot of Meta, which 
is good. 

588
00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:53,720
He's bought into AutoZone 
lately, which I think was a 

589
00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:56,280
decent buy. 
He has Wix and now he has the 

590
00:28:56,320 --> 00:28:58,880
App 11 Buy. 
Of course, he's holding PayPal, 

591
00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:00,920
which this one I find a bit 
questionable. 

592
00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:03,520
But other than that, I see a 
list of decent companies here 

593
00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:05,640
and I like the most recent 
trades he's done. 

594
00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:08,680
Next up we have David Poland or 
Poland Capital Management. 

595
00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:11,160
This is more of a team effort. 
They have a big firm, they have 

596
00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:13,960
a lot of analysts, but I really 
like what they put together. 

597
00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:17,120
Right now they're managing a 
staggering $38 billion. 

598
00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:19,520
So there's a lot of trust put 
into these guys. 

599
00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:21,240
I think they're doing a 
wonderful job. 

600
00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:23,800
When we look at their most 
recent trades, they have made a 

601
00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:25,840
couple trades that I do disagree
with. 

602
00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:29,400
One of them is selling out of 
sales force to buy more Apple 

603
00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:32,040
and Oracle. 
So they sold their entire sales 

604
00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:36,160
force position, 99.47%. 
So basically the entire thing 

605
00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:38,520
that was around 5% of their 
portfolio. 

606
00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:40,440
And they bought into Apple and 
Oracle. 

607
00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:43,960
Now I think Oracle is an 
interesting buy here, huge cloud

608
00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:46,120
player, lots of growth, great 
ownership. 

609
00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:49,840
So I like the Oracle buy, but I 
don't agree with selling out of 

610
00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:52,800
sales force to buy Apple. 
When I look at sales force, it 

611
00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:56,200
is true that the stock price has
surged up recently, so I can see

612
00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:58,720
why they're doing this trade, 
why they've decided to take 

613
00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:01,360
gains out of it. 
But Salesforce still has a lot 

614
00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:04,280
of growth ahead of it. 
I'm not as concerned about all 

615
00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:06,720
the AI talk as a lot of people 
are. 

616
00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:08,920
I think Salesforce is still 
going to be relevant and growing

617
00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:11,120
in the future. 
The company also trades at a 

618
00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:15,720
valuation that's very similar to
Apple's, the same PE ratio, 

619
00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:17,720
around the same free cash flow 
yield. 

620
00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:21,160
But Salesforce is growing its 
revenue much faster and growing 

621
00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:23,800
its free cash flow per share 
much faster. 

622
00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:27,520
So in my opinion, and again, 
there's no guarantees here, but 

623
00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:30,280
I believe that Salesforce over 
the next five years is going to 

624
00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:32,400
outperform Apple. 
That would be my guess. 

625
00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:35,600
So I don't think this is the 
optimal buy and sell, but I also

626
00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:37,880
don't think it's going to be 
overly destructive. 

627
00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:40,520
They have their reasons for 
trading in and out of companies.

628
00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:42,840
The other things that they're 
doing is they're doing a series 

629
00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:46,240
of small trims and Microsoft 
Nike, which I think is 

630
00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:47,760
interesting. 
They're selling a little bit of 

631
00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:49,840
Nike right now. 
I don't agree with that one. 

632
00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:54,040
They also sold a little bit of 
Amazon and Google, again, other 

633
00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:55,560
cells that I don't really agree 
with. 

634
00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:58,040
So even though I could nitpick 
their trades, I think that their

635
00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:00,840
strategy overall is good. 
The list of companies is good 

636
00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:03,440
and I believe that this 
portfolio will beat the market 

637
00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:05,400
over time. 
Now Next up, we have the Super 

638
00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:07,880
investor Chris Home that is one 
of the best. 

639
00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:10,360
He manages a staggering $44 
billion. 

640
00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:14,000
The TCI fund that he runs has 
been consistently outlined as 

641
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:16,640
one of the best performing hedge
funds out of any hedge fund. 

642
00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:19,960
It's always towards the top and 
he doesn't mess around. 

643
00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:22,000
No messing around with this 
portfolio. 

644
00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:25,440
He only has 10 holdings and all 
of these companies are 

645
00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:27,680
incredibly powerful business 
models. 

646
00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:31,240
The one that I don't understand 
the most is his top holding, 

647
00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:34,440
General Electric. 
But Chris Hoen studies these 

648
00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:35,880
companies. 
He understands them. 

649
00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:38,280
He bought this one at a 
wonderful time. 

650
00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:41,680
He really bought it on a low. 
It's surged up in price, so it's

651
00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:43,840
become a bigger position in his 
portfolio. 

652
00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:46,600
His other portfolio holdings 
mimic the small world of high 

653
00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:48,480
quality super investor 
portfolios. 

654
00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:53,200
You'll have some familiar names 
like S&P Global, Microsoft, you 

655
00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:57,000
have the railroads, Canadian 
Pacific, Visa, Canadian National

656
00:31:57,000 --> 00:31:59,480
Railway, and then of course he 
has Google in the portfolio as 

657
00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:01,880
well. 
Overall, a very strong list of 

658
00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:03,960
companies. 
The biggest trade he made last 

659
00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:06,520
quarter was a very, very small 
trade. 

660
00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:09,680
He slightly trimmed his 
Microsoft position to buy a 

661
00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:11,560
little bit more Canadian 
National Railway. 

662
00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:15,240
That was it. 
He trimmed 1.4% of his portfolio

663
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:19,720
to buy 1%, so almost no change 
to his portfolio. 

664
00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:21,800
It's the same over the past six 
months. 

665
00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:24,920
And that's a common theme you'll
see with these type of high 

666
00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:27,840
quality investors. 
The better decisions they make, 

667
00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:30,760
the less they have to trade and 
the better performance they 

668
00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:32,960
have. 
He's beat the market for a long 

669
00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:36,640
period of time and he's done so 
with very minimal trading. 

670
00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:40,440
He's not buying and selling 
companies all the time doing all

671
00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:42,480
these different technical 
analysis techniques. 

672
00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:45,560
He's just buying into high 
quality monopolistic companies, 

673
00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:47,880
holding them long term. 
Now Next up we have the man 

674
00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:50,960
Michael Bury himself of the Big 
Short fame and the only way to 

675
00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:55,160
really describe his latest 
purchases is a big bet into 

676
00:32:55,160 --> 00:32:57,520
China. 
He bought a lot more, in fact a 

677
00:32:57,520 --> 00:33:01,280
huge portion more of JD, of 
Baidu and of Alibaba. 

678
00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:04,000
So he's buying more and more 
into Chinese retailers. 

679
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:06,200
He's going where no one else 
wants to go. 

680
00:33:06,520 --> 00:33:10,080
Michael Bury is dispassionate. 
He likes to look for the raw 

681
00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:11,600
numbers. 
He likes to look for where he 

682
00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:14,360
sees a lot of value. 
And obviously right now he sees 

683
00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:17,960
it in China. 
Now, I have to be honest here, I

684
00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:21,360
don't really like these buys 
because I've dealt with Chinese 

685
00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:23,200
stocks once, I dealt with 
Alibaba. 

686
00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:25,840
It's just so much of a headache 
dealing with the Chinese 

687
00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:27,720
government and the way that they
manage their companies. 

688
00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:29,240
You really never know what's 
going to go on. 

689
00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:31,720
But Michael Burry prefers that 
risk and reward over the risk 

690
00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:34,360
and reward in the US with higher
price equities. 

691
00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:38,200
So the biggest trade he's doing 
by far is his shift into China. 

692
00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:41,200
Another one that I think is 
notable is he likes Shift 4 

693
00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:42,960
payments. 
Shift 4 is overall a great 

694
00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:44,880
payment processor. 
They're growing in a lot of 

695
00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:47,120
verticals. 
I see their software expanding 

696
00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:49,360
and trying to get a bigger total
addressable market. 

697
00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:52,560
So I like seeing that one there.
But again, overall, when we look

698
00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:55,000
at his current positions in the 
way that he's tilting his 

699
00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:58,120
portfolio, it's with a 
significant bet into China. 

700
00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:01,240
Another thing that we don't see 
in this portfolio is his 

701
00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:03,920
options. 
Michael Bury likes to exercise 

702
00:34:03,920 --> 00:34:06,560
options all the time. 
So we don't know fully what he's

703
00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:09,840
doing with his investments. 
And This is why I'd give caution

704
00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:12,600
into following Michael Bury. 
For the most part, it's 

705
00:34:12,600 --> 00:34:15,239
interesting to look at, but I 
think he's very difficult to 

706
00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:17,679
follow as an investor. 
Next up, we have the very 

707
00:34:17,679 --> 00:34:19,800
concentrated portfolio from Mark
Mass. 

708
00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:23,000
You have Alteroc Partners. 
They manage $5 billion and it's 

709
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:26,320
only in nine positions now. 
They have done a decent amount 

710
00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:27,719
of trading over the past three 
months. 

711
00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:30,440
They added to their Amazon 
position by 30%. 

712
00:34:30,639 --> 00:34:34,560
They sold 37% of their Visa 
position and they put that money

713
00:34:34,639 --> 00:34:38,199
as well as an additional amount 
into MasterCard over doubling 

714
00:34:38,199 --> 00:34:40,440
the position. 
Now this is an interesting 

715
00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:42,880
trade. 
They are selling out of Visa to 

716
00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:45,520
buy MasterCard. 
In my opinion, both of these are

717
00:34:45,520 --> 00:34:48,159
great companies but I definitely
think that MasterCard has the 

718
00:34:48,159 --> 00:34:50,960
advantage and that is because of
their international growth. 

719
00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:54,520
I believe MasterCard is better 
positioned to grow faster than 

720
00:34:54,520 --> 00:34:56,440
Visa. 
The Altarock portfolio is 

721
00:34:56,440 --> 00:35:00,320
similar to other high quality 
super investor portfolios where 

722
00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:02,960
they're investing the majority 
of their money in the same group

723
00:35:02,960 --> 00:35:05,800
of exceedingly high quality 
companies that continue to have 

724
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:09,240
very prosperous looking futures.
We have the same names like 

725
00:35:09,240 --> 00:35:13,520
FICO, MasterCard, Visa, Moody's,
Google, Google's a very common 

726
00:35:13,520 --> 00:35:15,400
one that we're seeing in this 
group of investors. 

727
00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:18,920
We also see, of course, 
Microsoft, Amazon, and this 

728
00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:21,960
one's unique holding. 
The one that makes Alta Rock 

729
00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:25,240
different is their top position 
is Transteim, so that may be an 

730
00:35:25,240 --> 00:35:27,680
interesting one to look into. 
If you like their other 

731
00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:30,880
positions and these ones align 
with your investing strategy, 

732
00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:34,240
and you see an investor go so 
heavily into one company that 

733
00:35:34,240 --> 00:35:36,680
you don't know as well, 
typically that means that you 

734
00:35:36,680 --> 00:35:39,880
might want to look into it, see 
what they see in this company. 

735
00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:42,120
Next up, we have the Chuck 
Auchry portfolio. 

736
00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:44,520
Now, it's important to note that
Chuck Auchry himself, the 

737
00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:46,680
legend, is no longer managing 
this. 

738
00:35:46,680 --> 00:35:50,360
He's basically retired and he's 
implemented A-Team to try to do 

739
00:35:50,360 --> 00:35:52,760
the same things he was doing to 
try to implement the same 

740
00:35:52,760 --> 00:35:54,960
strategy. 
But it's very difficult to have 

741
00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:59,080
the same fine touch that Chuck 
Ockery had with his portfolio. 

742
00:35:59,320 --> 00:36:03,120
They managed $12 billion and 
since their team has taken over,

743
00:36:03,120 --> 00:36:06,040
they've continually sold out of 
some of their best positions, 

744
00:36:06,280 --> 00:36:10,840
Moody's being one of them. 
Since around Q1 of 2023, they've

745
00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:14,360
been dumping their Moody's 
position more and more and more.

746
00:36:14,360 --> 00:36:17,080
And we see more selling of 
Moody's in the most recent 

747
00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:19,760
quarter. 
And no matter how hard I try, I 

748
00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:21,360
can't figure out why they're 
selling it. 

749
00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:24,480
Is it valuation? 
They usually don't sell because 

750
00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:27,800
of valuation, but to me, that's 
the only real concern. 

751
00:36:28,120 --> 00:36:31,120
Moody's has gone up in 
valuation, but typically it's 

752
00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:34,320
been a very strong trait of 
Chuck Ockery to never sell 

753
00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:37,280
because of valuation, to just 
hold on to quality companies 

754
00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:40,440
because decades later they'll be
worth even more and they'll 

755
00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:44,160
generate a ton of cash flow. 
This is a position that right 

756
00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:47,480
now Chuck Auchry's team is 
selling out of, Dev Cantosari is

757
00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:50,320
buying into. 
So you can see the juxtaposition

758
00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:51,760
there. 
One of them is continually 

759
00:36:51,760 --> 00:36:54,200
selling out of this high quality
position, another one's buying 

760
00:36:54,200 --> 00:36:56,600
into it. 
I agree more with Dev's side. 

761
00:36:56,600 --> 00:36:58,800
Now the company that they're 
buying into is Airbnb. 

762
00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:01,760
They added almost another 2% to 
this position. 

763
00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:04,560
I look at Airbnb and I think 
it's a fantastic company. 

764
00:37:04,560 --> 00:37:06,600
So this is one that I don't 
disagree with. 

765
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:08,760
My pick has been Booking 
Holdings. 

766
00:37:08,760 --> 00:37:12,000
I think they have some unique 
advantages over Airbnb, but I 

767
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:15,280
see that Airbnb has a new story 
to it. 

768
00:37:15,360 --> 00:37:18,760
It has huge network effects. 
They really do have a very wide 

769
00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:20,280
Moat company at this point in 
time. 

770
00:37:20,640 --> 00:37:23,520
It's an asset light business 
model and with those strong 

771
00:37:23,520 --> 00:37:26,760
network effects, I can see why 
it's attracted the team of Chuck

772
00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:29,720
Ockery. 
My only criticism here is that 

773
00:37:29,720 --> 00:37:33,800
they're selling one very high 
quality company by another high 

774
00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:36,640
quality company. 
It's not really the best trade 

775
00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:38,160
in my mind. 
I think they should look for 

776
00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:40,560
other places to raise cash to 
buy Airbnb. 

777
00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:43,280
Other than that, the Chuck 
Ockery portfolio looks very 

778
00:37:43,280 --> 00:37:45,640
similar to last quarter. 
They have MasterCard as the 

779
00:37:45,640 --> 00:37:49,320
largest position, Moodys, KKR, 
American Tower Corp. 

780
00:37:49,480 --> 00:37:51,680
This is one that they've talked 
glowingly about for a long 

781
00:37:51,680 --> 00:37:53,880
period of time. 
The very high return on capital 

782
00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:56,520
from that company. 
We have Brookfield Corp, we have

783
00:37:56,520 --> 00:38:00,760
O'Reilly, we have Visa, Roper 
Technologies and so on and so 

784
00:38:00,760 --> 00:38:02,280
forth. 
Even though I don't agree with 

785
00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:04,840
some of their recent trades, I 
don't think they're all that bad

786
00:38:04,920 --> 00:38:07,880
and I still believe that this is
a very strong portfolio overall.

787
00:38:07,880 --> 00:38:10,880
So that is the final update of 
the Super investors across their

788
00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:12,960
portfolios. 
A couple common themes I've 

789
00:38:12,960 --> 00:38:15,880
noticed is first of all, they're
being very disciplined and I 

790
00:38:15,880 --> 00:38:18,080
would say even reserved with 
their buying. 

791
00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:20,200
They're not buying companies 
left and right. 

792
00:38:20,240 --> 00:38:22,800
They're not scooping up 
different companies over and 

793
00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:24,680
over again. 
What they're doing is being a 

794
00:38:24,680 --> 00:38:27,080
little bit conservative. 
They're being discerning. 

795
00:38:27,080 --> 00:38:28,960
They're being a little cautious 
with their buying. 

796
00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:30,800
Warren Buffett leading the 
charge. 

797
00:38:30,800 --> 00:38:33,600
They're holding an enormous 
amount of cash and not doing 

798
00:38:33,600 --> 00:38:35,840
many buys and in fact selling a 
little bit. 

799
00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:38,400
So I see overall a defensive 
posture. 

800
00:38:38,760 --> 00:38:41,000
Another common theme that I 
noticed is just a lot of 

801
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:42,720
holding. 
A lot of them are just holding 

802
00:38:42,720 --> 00:38:45,200
on to their companies. 
Most of them are not doing big 

803
00:38:45,200 --> 00:38:48,080
sells, but they're just holding 
what they already own. 

804
00:38:48,280 --> 00:38:50,640
I've also noticed a lot of 
Google and this is a company 

805
00:38:50,640 --> 00:38:52,200
that I own. 
I think it's one of the few 

806
00:38:52,200 --> 00:38:54,240
that's at 1/2 decent valuation 
right now. 

807
00:38:54,600 --> 00:38:57,320
It's also a great company. 
There's some fears regarding 

808
00:38:57,320 --> 00:38:59,480
Google, so it makes sense that 
people are cautious about it 

809
00:38:59,480 --> 00:39:01,480
right now. 
But I've noticed Google and a 

810
00:39:01,480 --> 00:39:03,320
lot of these super investors 
portfolios. 

811
00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:06,560
So overall, there's the update. 
Let me know what you think. 

812
00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:08,080
We'll have more content in the 
future. 

813
00:39:08,360 --> 00:39:09,120
See you next time.
