Investing is more an art than a science. I like to think of successful investing as being an opportunist and recognizing opportunity where ever it may be.

“All smart investing is value investing” - Munger

Unless you pay something less than it is worth you can’t make superior returns by definition.

That "less" doesn't necessarily mean a low multiple, it must be low vs the strength of the company.

Great article Philo!

Thanks!

Yep, less than what it's worth...Worth isn't a function of conventional valuation metrics like P/E etc. As I like to say, P/IV is the holy grail.
