Patrick O'Shaughnessy interviewing Bill Gurley is always a fascinating conversation. This one on IPO finance was particularly illuminating for me. https://pca.st/bn7ceysc
Invest Like the Best has become my favorite financial podcast, partly because Patrick is not afraid to stray away from finance in search of interesting conversations. His interview with Boys Varty is my favorite in that vein: https://pca.st/iU9U
Cheers
Both these were great. Two others that he did away from finance and that introduced me to two fascinating people are his interviews with Jocko Willink (ex-Navy SEAL, has his own great podcast where he reads from military history books, amazing stuff, start chronologically) and Peter Attia (who I've already mentioned here often).
Jocko Willink being interviewed by Patrick O'Shaughnessy sounds interesting, but I couldn't find that episode. Did it happen?

Also reading "Boyd", and liking it a lot: https://www.amazon.ca/Boyd-Fighter-Pilot-Who-Changed/dp/0316796883/
Thanks for the reminder / recommendation on this one. Just bought it and am reading as of today.
Enjoy! Let me know how you like it.
Fascinating thus far. I'm reading Aerial Attack Study (Boyd's book) as part of reading this book. He's a very clear writer - such a talent. The section on evading missiles is easy to understand and I imagine is still somewhat useful today. Boyd reminds me of Richard Feynman in his clarity and quick identification of bs.

One of the author's more insightful conclusions is that one of humanity's unique strengths is in communicating and collaborating in larger groups (and in other ways)
Perhaps when "madness of the crowd" goes right?
Exactly. Ironic in these times, right? Perhaps a bit of a double-edged sword.

A couple of books that caught my attention recently are:
- Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind by Yuval Noah Harari - this is one of those books that I found hard to put down - its a fascinating narrative of human history, well told. One of the author's more insightful conclusions is that one of humanity's unique strengths is in communicating and collaborating in larger groups (and in other ways). The author's discussion of the tie between agriculture and the "domestication of humans" was also thought-provoking.
- The Gene: An Intimate History by Siddhartha Mukherjee - fantastically interesting. One random thing that I learned from this book is that every human has a common (female) ancestor, known as "Mitochondrial Eve". She lived in Sub Saharan Africa ~100,00-200,000 years ago.

Google caches Seeking Alpha Pro articles in their original version (which SA apparently posts for free for some temporary period). Example: https://seekingalpha.com/article/4122501-charter-communications-deal is a Pro article, and https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:-cmUqhmNTpwJ:https://seekingalpha.com/article/4122501-charter-communications-deal+&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us is the cached version of the full article. To get to page 2, just add ?page=2 to the end of the URL ( ex. https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:-cmUqhmNTpwJ:https://seekingalpha.com/article/4122501-charter-communications-deal?page=2 ).

Interesting letter and commentary. Thank you for sharing it.
I can only imagine what this letter's present-day equivalent might look like, and I imagine that there are many...

Would anyone like to have lunch tomorrow (Friday May 5th) at 12:30p in Omaha?
Paul, Lunch sounds good but I don't land until the early evening tomorrow. I'm up for coffee/beer both Friday and Saturday evenings.
Cheers,
Eric
Sorry to miss you at lunch Eric - will you be attending Yellow BRKers or Whitney Tilson's cocktail party?

Interesting interview. Thanks for sharing.

I use BeyondCompare from Scooter Software. It works for most formats (pdf, XML, text) commonly used for filings. It is $50 or so, but well worth it.

I have an extra pass for this year's annual meeting if someone on the board needs one.

I would definitely be interested in a pre-AGM shuttle. I'm leaving almost immediately after the AGM, so post-AGM wouldn't work for me. Thanks for helping to organize this Sanjeev.

They will release the entire interview eventually, after they make you watch all the commercials on each 3 minute clip.
Is that how they do it? Thanks for the insight. It makes sense as a revenue generating strategy in the short term.
Seems like they could do a better job of monetizing the content.

Does anyone have the link to the full interview with the Three Ts? I have only seen the 3 minute excerpt available so far.
Cheers,
Paul
Here you go:
Thanks Liberty - I appreciate the transcript, super helpful. I also like watching the video (so much of communication is in the subtlety of body language, etc). I was hoping to see the entire video, but it seems to be non-existent on the web. It seems like CNBC must have it somewhere, but their website is a bit of a maze wrapped in an enigma.

FWIW, both the WSJ and FT are available free online under "today's paper". The minor PITA is, any article you may want to read on the WSJ, you need to search the article title in Google news (US edition) to view it free.
Really? I've tried without success to find this on the FT site. Would you mind posting a link?
Thank you

I attended the conference and Klarman specifically noted that no one should read into his cash position too much. After all, if he believed a correction was imminent why would he give the cash back to his investors?
Thanks for the clarification, agaglio. Anything else noteworthy?
I thought Paul Singer's presentation on risk parity was very interesting. I attached my notes from Klarman's discussion.
Thank you for taking the time to share your interesting notes.

Great question.
Mostly I read to stay patient.
Sometimes I read about investing heroes or other people who I admire. They are almost always people who have managed to be patient or otherwise perseverant in difficult circumstances.

One annoyance for Gurufocus is the data is only for U.S. companies.
To access Canadian or International you need a premium membership per area.
I have the same problem too. Any alternatives to Gurufocus with 10 year data?
Free? Low cost? Reasonable cost?
The library version of Morningstar has 10 year data and, IMO is a much cleaner interface than Gurufocus.

@alpha23
I use Morningstar too, online through Seattle's library though I just noticed that I don't think they cover foreign traded stocks through Seattle's online subscription...have you found any similar restrictions?
I have been able to find foreign listed stocks. Recent example is LRE on the LON. I usually type the company name in and wait for it to populate the choices and then choose the right one. I'd be surprised if the subscriptions differ from one library system to another, but maybe they do. I am happy to look it up for you on the Portland system - just let me know the company name.

Opportunity Zone investing and funds

Jason,
One path to consider is crowd-funded real estate. Equity Multiple has several Opportunity Zone offerings and just announced a new one yesterday. https://www.equitymultiple.com/opportunity/
