Rob does a mountainside chat with Will Lundin, CEO of International Petroleum, at RV Capital's Annual Gathering in Engelberg on 11 January 2025.

In his letter to co-investors for the first half of 2024, Rob discusses: A new KVG for the Business Owner Fund His mentor Norman Rentrop A new investment in International Petroleum 3(!) new investments in China The promise and failings of ESG investing

In mid-August 2024, Rob traveled to East Africa. He visited four cities (Nairobi, Mombasa, Kigali, and Kampala) in three countries (Kenya, Rwanda, and Uganda). In the postcard, Rob discusses what he saw and what he learned. The main topics discussed are the region's cities, economies, and stock markets, corruption, freedom, Chinese and Western money, foreign aid, entrepreneurship, M-Pesa, and demographics.

This is a talk Rob gave at Bob Miles' Value Investor Conference in Omaha on 3 May 2024. The talk is called Five Moat Myths and discusses five commonly held beliefs about moats that may be incorrect. Rob first spoke at the Value Investor Conference in May 2014 when he discussed the topic of valuation in a talk called Mistakes of Omission. Rob spoke the second time in 2017 when he discussed the topic of management in a talk called Identifying Managers with Talent and Integrity. His original plan was to talk about moats in 2020, however, the small matter of a pandemic put paid to that idea. The good news is that four additional myths occurred to him in the intervening period (vs one he had originally intended to speak about). The slides accompanying the talk are not visible on the video. They are not necessary to follow the talk, but they can be downloaded here.

Rob discusses a recent trip to the US and reflects on what he saw in the places he visited and what he heard from the people he met. If you would like to leave a tip to cover the cost of the postage stamp on this postcard, please use this link.
