TIP838: GOOGLE, REDDIT, AMAZON – ARE OUR BIGGEST WINNERS STILL A BUY? W/ DANIEL MAHNCKE & SHAWN O’MALLEY

15 August 2026

After looking at companies that tanked in recent months in the last episode, Daniel Mahncke and Shawn O’Malley now take a look at the best-performing stocks of the pitches of the last two years. Google, Amazon, and Reddit are companies that generated great returns for the Intrinsic Value Portfolio, but there were also companies on the watchlist that turned into multibaggers in the past year.

Daniel and Shawn discuss the patterns of the stocks that gained most in value, what one can learn from that, and how they think about selling and holding positions that went up past their fair value estimate.

[00:00:00] Daniel Mahncke: Welcome back to The Investor’s Podcast. Today’s episode is number 838. And after we just did an episode covering stocks that tanked since we covered all of them, today will be a much more pleasant episode for us because it’s actually about our winners. So the plan is to analyze why they worked out so well, and also what we can learn from them to find even more of them going forward.

[00:00:21] Shawn O’Malley: Yeah, that does sound a lot more enjoyable for us. And, you know, I did like looking at the stocks that that didn’t do well. I think you tend to learn more from those situations. But nevertheless, I would obviously love to identify some of the patterns among our winners so we can find more companies like them, hopefully. And it’ll also be interesting to see whether we still consider these companies to be good investments at today’s prices.

[00:00:45] Daniel Mahncke: I also plan to cover some companies that we pitched and then didn’t end up buying, and that still skyrocket after, unfortunately. So to some extent, I won’t even let us go through this episode without at least pointing out some of our emissions. And I got to say, to be fair, I consider almost all of those companies to be quite expensive today. So I don’t know if it was actually a mistake to not make them part of our portfolio.

[00:01:08] Shawn O’Malley: Okay, well, we’ll get into all that today.

[00:01:15] Intro: Since 2014, with more than 200 million downloads. We have interviewed the world’s best investors, studied deeply the principles of value investing, and uncovered many compelling investment opportunities. We focus on understanding businesses and intrinsic value, investing accordingly and sharing everything we learn with you. This show is not investment advice. It’s intended for informational and entertainment purposes only. All opinions expressed by hosts and guests are solely their own, and they may have investments in the securities discussed. Now for your host, Shawn O’Malley and Daniel Mahncke.

[00:02:01] Daniel Mahncke: In case you’re listening to this episode and you have no idea what portfolio we’re talking about here on the show, my co-host Kyle and I alternate on pitching you on our favorite new stock ideas each week, with the obvious goal in mind of finding the great businesses for our Intrinsic Value Portfolio. And while it’s a paper portfolio on the surface, every position of the portfolio is covered by at least one of our hosts through our personal portfolio. And I would say it’s always almost a significant position. So we do not just buy one share so that we can say that we invested.
