I’m sorry to say but the “quality compounder bro” humble pie ’22 letters are hilarious. After a long period of condescending hubris, they’re now dripping with false modesty recounting “mistakes that were made”. Your newfound “humility” is not virtuous – it is actually pathetic.

@nntaleb Correct. In Kenya, a unit of m-pesa serves the function of a “currency”. A proxy for cash (for the rural underbanked) to purchase goods,services,assets or settle liabilities. A unit of m-pesa is not in itself “valuable” and isn’t used as a token for speculation (bitcoin/tulips).

Ignoring the general market noise, great news reported by 2 top SA small/microcaps: - Lewis Group (JSE:LEW) brought out an excellent trading statement - how is it STILL a net-net? - Sabvest (JSE:SBP) Mr. Seabrooke doing what he does best - ARB is a neat little addition!

$SWNS.L Smiths News Plc Still big opportunities in "short duration" plays e.g. lowly geared, highly cash-generative companies (trading at around 2x FCF) returning the bulk of cash back to shareholders at yields in the low-mid teens. 1/n

There are some "old-economy" operators completely "left for dead". Take Smiths News PLC $SNWS.L that has the majority UK market share in the distribution of old-school print media (newspapers/magazines). Print is dead right? And COVID was surely the final nail in the coffin? 1/n

I thoroughly enjoyed the memoirs of Leon Levy, a lesser-known Wall Street stalwart, filled with great insights and wisdom from a career that spanned 5 decades. Sub-200 pages so an ideal X-mas holiday read. Sadly, he passed a few months after publishing this gem back in ‘02.

$AEG.JO Aveng Group. Barring a(nother) contractual / operational catastrophe (which is par for the course with these guys and peers), Aveng could be one of the biggest mispriced bets on the JSE atm. 1/n

$Y.TO Yellow Pages Limited Seems to be an interesting Canadian illiquid microcap play. Via a "Plan of Arrangement", it bought back almost 30% of its stock back in October (SP up only 9%). It furthermore settled a large chunk of its pension liability (wind-up deficit). 1/n

Tale of two auto stalwarts. Volkswagen ( $VOW,$VOW3) vs Toyota (7203) Fundamentally, they're neck and neck. Yet, the valuation disparity between the two is astonishing. Inexplicable.... Considering that $PAH3 Porsche SE trades at a 40%+ discount to the underlying depressed

With all of SA Fintwit’s focus on the NPN/PRX nonsense, there are special situation workouts on the JSE that can deliver (almost guaranteed) returns of more than 50%. Fish where the fish are (not the fishermen)…

I highly recommend a detailed study of Michael Mauboussin’s and Alfred Rappaport’s work on Expectations Investing which is immensely instructive in discerning the expected return properties of investment cases such as PPE. END.

Many of the best FinTwit folks are successful business operators in addition to being passionate part-time investors. They also don't pander to the masses (ordinarily a few hundred followers or so) and are thus grossly underfollowed. Pick your "circle" wisely!

There is an "investment" that has consistently yielded a CAGR return of more than 12% (in ZAR terms) over any time frame to date (be it from the 1973-1974 bear market, 1987 crash, Asian Crisis, LTCM debacle, Dot-com crash, GFC). Can you guess what it is?

(JSE:HUL) Hulamin. A lesson and perfect example of the asymmetric upside embedded in companies trading at DEEP discounts to replacement value. HUL is testament to the fact that Graham-style cigar butts STILL exist and that the thesis/approach STILL works (LOW underlying risk).
