The Security Analysis Podcast

Today's podcast is a discussion between Matt Cochrane and I about 100 Baggers: Stocks That Return 100-to-1 and How To Find Them, by Chris Mayer.A 100 bagger is a stock that increases by 100-1. In other words, $10,000 turns into $1,000,000. Breaking it down mathematically, a 14% return achieves a 100 bagger in 35 years. A 20% return does it in 25. 26% does it in 20 years.Chris Mayer did a study of many stocks that did return 100-1 and evaluated the characteristics of those companies. There is a common DNA among all of them profiled in the book, which Matt & I discuss & analyze.Links100 Baggers: https://www.amazon.com/100-Baggers-Stocks-100-1/dp/1621291650/DisclaimerNothing on this substack is investment advice.The information in this article is for information and discussion purposes only.

Cait is a Canadian writer who first gained recognition with her blog, Blonde on a Budget, where she documented her journey of paying off $30,000 in debt. That experience became the foundation for her exploration of minimalism, mindful consumption, and intentional living.She later wrote a bestselling book - The Year of Less - where she took on a year-long shopping ban that transformed her relationship with money and possessions.The themes she writes about—breaking free from debt, rethinking consumerism, and designing a more intentional life—are incredibly powerful from a personal finance perspective.Links* Cait's website: https://www.caitflanders.com/* The Year of Less: https://www.amazon.com/Year-Less-Shopping-Belongings-Discovered-ebook/dp/B0767XNB47* Adventures in Opting Out: https://www.amazon.com/Adventures-Opting-Out-Leading-Intentional-ebook/dp/B083J17DYJDisclaimerNothing on this substack is investment advice.The information in this article is for information and discussion purposes only.

Brett Gardner is author of the book Buffett's Early Investments.The book analyzes key Buffett investments from the 1950's and 1960's, a period in which he had his most extraordinary returns. During the partnership years (1957-69), Buffett put together one of the greatest investment track records of all time, earning an astounding 29.5% CAGR without reporting a single down year. According to Buffett, prior to the partnership in the 1950's, his returns were even higher.Brett dug through this extraordinary period and analyzed many of Buffett's key investments. The book takes your through the financial statements and qualitative story from Buffett's vantage point when he bought the stocks. He further analyzes the outcome.The book is fantastic and I highly recommend it to anyone interested in Buffett.Links:Buffett's Early Investments: A new investigation into the decades when Warren Buffett earned his best returnshttps://www.amazon.com/Buffetts-Early-Investments-investigation-decades/dp/1804090573DisclaimerNothing on this substack is investment advice.The information in this article is for information and discussion purposes only.

Matt Cochrane & I are reuniting to discuss Liar's Poker by Michael Lewis.Liar's Poker is Michael Lewis's first book about his time working at Salomon Brothers in the 1980's. Liar's Poker chronicles an extraordinary boom on Wall Street in the 1980s and serves as an expose and cautionary tale about the excesses of Wall Street. The world has changed a lot since then, but I think that the themes identified by Michael Lewis are still very much alive.Links* Liar's Poker by Michael Lewis: https://www.amazon.com/Liars-Poker-Norton-Paperback-Michael-ebook/dp/B003E20ZRY* Michael Lewis Interview with Dash Riprock & Human Piranha, characters featured in the book: https://www.pushkin.fm/podcasts/against-the-rules/other-peoples-money-dash-riprock-and-the-human-piranha-revealedDisclaimerNothing on this substack is investment advice.The information in this article is for information and discussion purposes only.

Matt Cochrane returns to the podcast! We have been doing a bunch of episodes where we re-read investing classics and talk about them. So far, we've revisited “Beating the Street” by Peter Lynch and “Common Stocks and Uncommon Profits” by Phil Fisher.Today, we're going to talk about “The Little Book That Builds Wealth” by Pat Dorsey.Pat Dorsey was the pioneer behind Morningstar's economic moat concept. Morningstar currently ranks companies based on whether or not they deem them to have a wide moat, a narrow moat, or no moat. Dorsey put together that entire framework. Today, he runs money based on trying to buy moats at reasonable prices.Links* The Little Book That Builds Wealth: https://www.amazon.com/Little-Book-That-Builds-Wealth-ebook/dp/B07MMYC9VT* Long Term Mindset: https://longtermmindset.co/start/DisclaimerNothing on this substack is investment advice.The information in this article is for information and discussion purposes only.

This is a long discussion between myself and Nelson – the Canadian Dividend Investor – about The Snowball: Warren Buffett and the Business of Life by Alice Schroeder. There are really two definitive books about Warren Buffett – this one and Buffett: The Making of An American Capitalist by Roger Lowenstein. Lowenstein's book is excellent, but he wrote it in 1995 without the cooperation of Warren Buffett. The book was also written before Warren Buffett was extremely famous.The Snowball, in contrast, was written with the cooperation of Warren Buffett. Alice Schroeder covered Berkshire for Morgan Stanley and knew Warren Buffett personally. With his blessing, she began the project in 2003 and was given unprecedented access to Warren's files, spent a lot of time talking with him directly, and interviewed all of his close associates.The book is massive – 852 pages – and is a deep study on Warren Buffett's life.The book is controversial and we discuss that in this podcast. Warren Buffett hasn't publicly criticized it or disavowed it, but Alice Schroeder has commented that the portrayal was difficult for him at times. He doesn't endorse the book, it's not sold at the Berkshire meetings, and he appears to have distanced himself from Alice.I love the book and think it's filled with life & business lessons. I hope you enjoy our conversation about it.Links.* The Snowball: Warren Buffett and the Business of Life: https://www.amazon.com/Snowball-Warren-Buffett-Business-Life-ebook/dp/B009MYD9F8DisclaimerNothing on this podcast is investment advice.The information in this podcast is for information and discussion purposes only.
