Episode notes

The market price could triple in five years and then go nowhere for five years. The value of this $10,000 is doubling every five years. That's something I think you've never said. You're talking about the value of the company. Yeah. Man, if I've never said that, that is a gigantic, a gigantic error really because to think that what we're talking about is market price is only the case when the market and the value are coming together."

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.
