The Merits of Bottoms Up Investing
Hi Brett-
Very well written. I like that quote from Peter Fenton.
Added you to related reading on my inv thesis collection https://www.alexanderjarvis.com/vc-investment-thesis-collection/

Super interesting.
A perspective I like about value investing with a margin of safety is that of regression to the mean.
When you fundamentally understand that a company is good and well managed, you know that a temporary slump is just that, temporary.
Their usual performance over a long time is better.
So you invest with the expectation that the company will go back to their usual good. Not expecting any amazing sudden prformance. just the average.
That requires deep understanding of the fundamentals, management and industry. The method is simple, doing it though is not easy.
Thanks for sharing, Brett! Appreciate your deep research and insights.
