Investment Philosophy
Core Principles
- Understand the business first — Never invest in what you don't understand
- Seek durable competitive advantages (moats) — Companies that defend profits over decades
- Margin of safety — Buy below intrinsic value
- Long-term thinking — 3+ year holding period, ideally 10+ years
- Quality over quantity — Better 10 exceptional companies than 50 mediocre ones
