ANECDOTE

Owner Operator Importance

  • Businesses heavily owned by their managers tend to perform better.
  • Managers with significant ownership make different decisions, especially during crises, often continuing to invest when others pull back.
  • Owner-operators prioritize long-term growth over short-term gains, as seen in examples like Old Dominion Freight Lines and Copart.
  • Family-owned businesses, similar to insider-owned companies, tend to avoid short-term earnings games, have less debt, and better align incentives with investors.
  • While exceptions exist, investing in companies with substantial insider or family ownership generally leads to better outcomes.
