August 2022

First batch of names, which I have conducted thorough analysis on; For each opportunity, a valuation & financial model and a write-up qualitative analysis are available:

EPVNAVIVEP

Ruger59.148.358.038.7
Canada Goose (CAD$)24.64.522.615.0

Kraft Heinz 24.449.141.727.8
Berkshire Hathaway (B)320.1213.4
Brookfield Asset Management (BAM.A, CAD$)
(where pyramidal control is allowed)
58.438.93
Fairfax Financial 1,289860
Aim to buy at IV or less

On BAM.A, a better buy is a LP Unit trading in TSXV, since you don’t get the say anyway in BAM.A, might as well hold the one with a bit leverage:

As for the rest of 2022, further works would be done on:

  1. SaaS targets with positive operating cash flow (ADBE, INTU, DOCU, etc.) ==> High Invested capital turnover + High EBIT margin + Decent valuation level, should lead to wonders
  2. Valuable consumer brands (WSM, RH, MONC, etc.) ==> Sustainable premium price over competition
  3. Operating efficiency kings (QSR, COST – I have had this for a long time, but would like to get it on the valuation table, MCD, etc.)
  4. Special opportunities from time to time ==> merger arb, floating preferred arb, etc.
