Your periodic reminder that posting your stockpicks (and going on podcasts) can be harmful to returns

Nick Sleep: "Evangelism is not healthy"

An investor doing so may "subconsciously rob himself of his objectivity and the option to change his mind"

(Nomad letters, 2004)

PS. Why talking abut stock picks is bad. "Evangelism is not healthy". "In publicly disclosing his stock picking commitments, does the investemnt mgmr. subtly and no doubt subconsciously rob himself of objectivity and the option to change his mind?". Nick Sleep won't like FinTwit! https://t.co/HqEr5YBIt8

Vulcan Value Partners: 3 new positions in Q3 '24 - $LVMUY $EG $PGHN.SW

🧵👇🏽

"LVMH is the largest luxury goods manufacturer in the world. It benefits from brand equity curated over decades with high quality, exclusive products that are instantly recognisable to consumers worldwide. LVMH owns a global portfolio of 75 luxury brands across various categories such as fashion, jewelry, wines and spirits, cosmetics, watches, and other goods."

"LVMH’s founder and CEO, Bernard Arnault, has operated the business with a long-term mindset that should endure long past his tenure."

"After several years of above-trend growth, LVMH’s sales growth has slowed, and we believe its profits will decline marginally this year. We believe the company can compound its value at a low double-digit rate over our long-term time horizon."

"We have owned LVMH in the past, and recent stock price volatility has allowed us to buy this wonderful business with a margin of safety to our estimate of intrinsic value."

Investrors' Chronicle asked "Can Ruffer turn it around?" a year ago (10-Oct-23)

This was after Ruffer Investment Company $RICA shares fell 13% in the first ~9 months of 2023

A year on, RICA share price is up ... 2.7%

So the answer is they cannot https://t.co/tBbOqaCsV0
