Episode notes

The point is an important distinction, which is there's a new piece of information that may affect the value of the bank. And I need to go check that out. That was the only thought in my mind. Once I checked it out, then I did look at the price, hoping I could buy more. But that was it. It feels a little bit like a video game or computer game or like, so familiar. Just something that's a little bitlike virtual.

Finding a company that can compound their investments over a long period is the white whale of the value investor. While this search is often challenging, finding these companies can lead to substantial long-term gains.

With the gamification of investing in recent years, the idea of holding an investment for a lifetime is being presented as less appealing than the app-driven, short-term profit mentality.

Are you prepared to do the work up front so that you can feel confident in a less hands-on approach in the long run? By starting off with a careful analysis of these potential compounding investments, you can be less concerned with the day-to-day movements of the markets.
