Dear Partners, Friends, Intelligent Investors, In 2021 I spent an entire year almost completely alone to set up our investment “vehicle” in the best profitable way possible. Being so reclusive and withdrawn I found the time to study a lot and thinking about future investments and companies to buy. As a consequence, all this pondering…
Cari Amici, partners, intelligent investors, lo so è passato un mese e piu’ dalla promessa seconda parte dell’articolo su il metodo “Wooden” riguardante i dettagli, ispirato dall’incontro con Metheny. Qualcuno mi ha addirittura scritto, (wow!) raccontandomi di come sia alla ricerca dei libri di coach Wooden e rispondo subito dicendo: comprane uno, a caso, gli…
Nell’ estate del 1998 (o era il 1999?) ebbi la fortuna di scambiare un paio di battute con Pat Metheny (probabilmente uno dei piu’ grandi musicisti degli ultimi decenni) dopo un suo concerto a Testaccio a Roma, all’ex mattatoio.

Warren E. Buffett was born the 30th of august 1930 in Omaha, Nebraska. As we salute his 92nd birthday today we also humbly celebrate the 4th year of this blog and website. When in the sixties in London people wrote on the walls of the city : EC IS GOD (Eric Clapton is God) a…
“Personal History” is Katharine Graham’s autobiography. A memoir that shines for its honesty, the remarkable wide range of stories and people she met. I’m a voracious reader of biographies, and I found this one wonderful. The Washington Post saga is a lesson in business and life in itself that should be taught. It contains…
Let me be clear from the get-go: I’m not against business schools or formal training of any sort. You have to learn the basic tools and they will underpin all of your assumptions and decisions about investing and the market. But, and this is a big BUT, the way and the talent you may develop…
In investing Boredom is fun. True investing or Intelligent Investing incorporates boredom and requires boredom as one of its components. It’s a fact. It is one of its main traits. If you are capable of a sound big decision you don’t wiggle around much. It’s not only the fourth law of motion by Buffett (“For…
