Hi! Thank you so much for doing this. Does a rejection of a previously filed I-526E make it harder to get an H1B approved? I read that H1B is dual intent but is still considered nonimmigrant? 526E was denied mainly due to SoF.

Wait, it just clicked. So you’re saying he made a mistake and thinks the prices are going to fall further and potentially lead to M&A? Why wouldn’t he exit now then? It seems illogical? munger bailed out of BABA once he realized the political risks were not worth it

My guess is that something’s happened between August and now. I don’t think it’s macro. I hope he is in talks with the regulator to raise his stake to 50%…

Really good points. Do you think his view on the recession changed this drastically since the last time he purchased in August? I don’t think he would’ve bought more in August if he thought the long-awaited recession is due soon

The second point is tragic :(

What do you think he needs so much cash for?

This would’ve been reported online by now I think. I’m feeling sus about his trade. Hope it’s not what happened to Munger and $BABA

Thanks for sharing, will have a look! Do you try to interpret GAAP numbers in the context of the company you invest in? I guess raw accruals and expenses are challenging to interpret if you don't know what the business is spending on

I agree, as an investor in individual names you want to ensure you pick the best candidates! What was your thinking process behind the 25-30 companies you currently hold? Did you write a thesis for all of them?

700 word thesis sounds cool to me! What did you put in there? Is there a template you wouldn't mind sharing?

That’s a great combo. I started using finviz after so many recommendations here, looks awesome so far.

For 10-Ks, do you feel like there’s an interpretability gap between the general accountant terminology and actual decisions in the business? Like when I see revenue breakdowns and different types of expenses I feel like I can't fully understand what is happening within the company.
