Love your work. Please write once about what it means to „understand a business“. For example, what questions about a business should an investor be able to answer before investing.

Very good article that summarizes an entire investment philosophy. The way in which François Rochon values companies seems to me the clearest and easiest to understand among large investors.

Thank you for your work. its confusing, but there is a difference between Giverny Capital and Giverny Capital Asset Management. The latter is a joint venture with David Poppe of ex Sequoia (Ruanne Cuniff). I believe the 13f is then from the jv and not Giverny Canada. But yes, a great summary.

Great piece. Just to let you know: the link to his investment letters does not work. I'd love to read them if there's any way to fix the link. Thank you for all that you're doing.
