2️⃣ Compounding can be beautiful

When you become 1% better every day, you will become a learning machine. The same is applicable in the stock market. Most people overestimate what they can do in a year and underestimate what they can do in a decade.

$POOL seems a simple, wonderful business, with excellent traction and margins.

A couple of questions (sorry couldn't dig deeper for want of time — too many stones to turn over)

1. What are the specific levers for topline growth? Isn't the pool supplies market kind of saturated already I might be totally wrong on this one.

2. POOL doesn't seem to have a presence in Asia. China and India in particular are two sizable markets with a favourable demographic.

3. POOL has guided deployment of far more capital in share buybacks and dividend payments, than in capital expenditures and M&A. Does this indicate a restricted growth runway?

4. Under longer term outlook, it says organic topline growth of 6-9%. Again this indicates modest organic revenue growth. If M&A doesn't pan out as expected, overall revenue growth might come in stunted.

Always happy to hear contradictory views!
