Peter Cundill is one of the most consistent value investors ever.

His Value Fund generated a 15% CAGR over 33 years. Turning $100 into $10,000.

He followed in Ben Graham's footsteps but carved his own path.

Here are six of Cundill's most important investing lessons ... 🧵 Image
Lesson 1: Be A Global Investor

Cundill was Canadian but invested globally.

He believed, like Peter Lynch, that whomever turns over the most rocks will win the game.

The wider you cast your net, the greater the odds of finding extreme value.

That is very true today.
Lesson 2: Buy Hidden Asset Plays

Cundill demanded a strong balance sheet with high asset values.

He also loved hidden assets.

For example, he bought Tiffany's in '74 because it held its diamonds and real estate at historical cost. Which vastly understated its current value.Image

Allan Mecham is one of the best value investors out there.

He's generated a ~37% CAGR since 2008 while operating as a one-man shop above a taco store.

I read all his shareholder letters to find the Five Key Lessons from Mecham's philosophy.

Enjoy 👇
macro-ops.com/five-invaluabl…
Lesson 1: Less (Not More) Information is Better

Edge is found in clear thinking/uncluttered mind.

Our brains only have so much decision making power capacity each day.

The less information you consume the more time you have to ponder the few critical bits that really matter.Image
Lesson 2: Selling Great Biz Is Almost Always A Mistake

It's tough to find a great business.

It's even more difficult to not sell that great business once you find it.

Mecham found Autozone $AZO & made it 18% of his fund. Yet he still sold it.

Lesson? It was a mistake.Image
