Thanks a lot. Does this also work for Google Docs?
-
grants just had a podcast on this
Any source?
Thanks!

Thanks for the color and I agree!

I loved how through the entire book I was thinking: This guy probably did some unethical stuff, and then at the end of the book he's like "i did nothing unethical"
:D

How big is their tech short basket?
Anyone an idea?

Check out last year's Brazil conference if you haven't already:
It has a slightly better looking surprise guest.

"their" seems like a far reach for someone who is 90% of the time doing all the work himself. Steven is one of those guy's whose track record currently does not reflect his true capabilities.

How many hours did it take you to go through?

So finished the book. He sets quite the bar for what one person can achieve in life..

I got about a 3rd of the way through it, and sort of got bored and moved onto something else. Maybe I should revisit it. I found his writing pretty boring, and thought he included way too much useless information. I don't like how it's a full year-by-year summary of the company.
Yes, funny how differing opinions are but I did not get captivated by his way of writing and struggled through the second half of the book. I also expected more business specific developments for the later years of Nike...
Most important takeaways for me:
- Hustle, hustle, lie lie and make sure you can deliver.
- Nike was founded by an average athlete, a retired coach (who almost blew himself up by experimenting with waffle irons), a guy in a wheelchair and a fat guy (who probably needed a wheelchair).
- Tiger was one of the first to call after Matthew passed away.

Hi all,
given the amount of experience & time in the market of this board I was wondering if you guys/girls could share one or two examples of extreme share price movements that have astonished you in the past 15 years. Examples could range from Enron to Valeant..
Very happy to hear your thoughts!!
Thanks.

I liked the book, sole comment is that I would have appreciated more focus on the story than on the principles they discovered/wrote about. I am saying that because I already read their work and books and was treating this as a bedtime book which proved difficult at some times.

Check the subreddits at reddit.com, they often offer incredible scuttlebutt research (like the IBM, Walmart, Microsoft subreddits).

Can you elaborate on your research that they have been "ripping off" clients?
How do I compare this to client retention ratio's of +98%?

I listen with Overcast at 1.5x with Smartspeed, which reduces the length of silences between words dynamically, so my average is over 1.75x. So I guess I'm losing/gaining even more, and I'm even more confused ???
Any idea of the Android equivalent of Overcast??

I'm just amazed to see that one single investment caused them to move from outperform to under perform over 1 yr, 5 yr & 10 year time frame compared to S&P 500.
Despite having a full time analyst allocated to VRX ...

What he forgets to mention is that as a PE owner you are much more in control of what kind of debt (+ triggers, covenants) the company is taking on.. As a public equity holder, not so much..

Google
American Express
Both have increased my quality of life at limited (or no) cost to myself. Both have great products, great services, and continue to be light years ahead of their competitors in doing this.
And today Amex vs Visa & Mastercard?
