Compounding Capital
$WCN has directed 50-65% of capital towards highly accretive M&A over past 15 yrs.

Management suggests in this slide that if M&A slows, return of capital would more than triple.

Meanwhile, dividends have grown at 15% CAGR since 2010.

M&A is by far best use of capital imo. https://t.co/TBSM9zRRJx

Self-help books get a totally undeserved bad rap in intellectual circles.

If a book helps you feel better or grow as an individual, it *is* a good book.

Well! I was very happy with an immediate realisation I’m not Buffett. If you find it incredibly hard to beat the S&P, you will find it exponentially harder to manage leverage. Forget drawdowns; you’ll find it hard to manage leverage even during rips.
