NVR: Can This Legendary Compounder Continue Beating the Market?
May 31, 2026 | What if I told you one of the best compounders of the last few decades was found in the homebuilding category? I’m not talking about a business that doubles and then fades into obscurity. Rather, a business that, over the last three decades, has returned returned 62,000%! Got your attention?
Sea Limited: Can Sea 10x Again?
May 25, 2026 | Sea Limited is interesting in many ways. It’s one of the few players that has achieved massive success in an entirely different geography, and it uses a mobile game to subsidize its e-commerce and fintech operations. Yes, a mobile game... Let’s dive in!
Formula One Group: Blooming Sports Biz With Fanatical Fans
May 17, 2026 | Imagine a company that owns two of the largest sports franchises in the world. One of them has a growing cash pile. While the other, a newer kid on the block, has grown top line into the triple digits and is starting to inflect into positive cash flow. “Is this a dream you ask yourself?” No, it’s Formula One Group (FWONA)! And the two franchises are Formula One and MotoGP.
Microsoft: Misunderstood AI Opportunity?
May 10, 2026 | In the end, our job is not to have the most differentiated portfolio, but one that we feel incorporates the highest-quality companies at attractive prices. In that spirit, we will look at Microsoft today. It’s trading well below its 10-year averages right now, and I want to find out whether that’s an opportunity or whether Microsoft is truly in deeper trouble than most investors think.
OTC Markets : A Picks and Shovels Play in Modern Capital Markets
May 3, 2026 | That company is OTC Markets Group, a business you’ve almost certainly come in contact with if you’ve traded over-the-counter securities (OTC) in the U.S. What impresses me most about the business is its coverage of over 12,000 securities, more than both major stock exchanges combined, yet the entire operation runs on fewer than 130 people!
CoStar: A Wide Moat Digitalizing Real Estate
April 26, 2026 | It's so boring that most investors have never heard of CoStar Group, and yet, it's a company that just reported its 59th consecutive quarter of double-digit revenue through financial crises, through COVID, and through the 2022 rate hike cycle that crushed commercial real estate transaction volumes.
Portfolio Review and Update: Changes for 2026
April 19, 2026 | Two companies will be leaving our portfolio today. Another one will be promoted to a core holding. We'll also revisit a good bunch of our other portfolio companies and a few watchlist names that a lot of you have been asking about — Trade Desk and FICO, in particular. We’ll also cover a couple of companies that Kyle, our new co-host(!), is getting up to speed on.

Mini Constellation Software: Analyzing Spinoffs and Acquisitions
April 5, 2026 | Constellation Software has been one of the most successful compounders of the last decade. But every business eventually struggles with the law of large numbers, and Constellation is no exception. Mark Leonard himself has acknowledged that, from all-time high prices, future returns would likely settle around 8%.
