In this episode, Dave and Andrew feature Alex Morris, founder and analyst at TSOH Investment Research and author of 'Buffett and Munger Unscripted.' Alex shares his journey into the world of stock investing, inspired by business legends Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger.
The conversation covers Alex's perspective on investing, including his preference for stocks over other assets, insights from his book, and his views on business valuation, competitive analysis, and the importance of management.
The dialogue also touches on strategies like minimum position sizing, the role of qualitative versus quantitative analysis, and advice for novice investors looking to expand their knowledge and competence in investing. As a special note, proceeds from Alex's book will be partially donated to Glide, a charitable organization supported by Warren Buffett.
