Guy Spier

Now, I'll tell you a story.

We got into investment a long time ago that will remain nameless, but we got into it with Mohnish Pabrai, and we got into it with Guy Spier, and we got into it with Matt Peterson.

[laughs] We got into it with you.

I think some people have figured it out already, but anyway, yes, continue.

We are inveterate cloners, and we love to clone Buffett all through his career, and Munger.

We love to clone Pabrai.

He's a great one to clone, or Guy Spier, another one.

Matt Peterson is another one.

Not me, not DragonSlayer64 in the comments section, not Bill down the road who works at the mechanic shop who's been watching a lot of Austrian economics YouTube videos lately, and especially not you, you big dummy brain.

And to end this video, I'd like to highlight sort of an excerpt from The Education of a Value Investor by Guy Spier, where he talks about, you know, the checklist he uses to determine whether he should look into a stock or just ignore it.

And one of the things he uses is to never buy into something that he's being sold on.

Uh, whether it be a fund or anything, the moment someone is trying to promote it to him, uh, he'll just ignore it, and that seemed to work well for him, and I'm happy to employ that same strategy.

Yes, Warren Buffett, but you could go down the list.

Howard Marks, Sir John Templeton, Guy Spier, Robert Hagstrom, Mohnish Pabrai, all these guys.

So I told myself, "Why don't I find the equivalent on planning?" 'Cause that's where God was calling me.

I, I am a man of faith.
