Hi Tim,

Out of interest what are the companies that you are happily holding for the long term?

Great post, I’m almost perfectly aligned except on concentration. With the benefit of hindsight my 11-30th fave ideas produced a handful of gigantic winners (SMCI to pick a high profile example of something that always was attractive but not exceptionally so). Gigantic winners drive performance. The gigantic winners you miss out on being too narrow introduce unnecessary luck. Too many long duration growth stories are mispriced to own just 10 imo. Beware embellishing how much better your top 10 are v your top 30. Even a strategy with say 3 big poles and a broader 15-25 basket underneath is good compromise. TSLA maybe example of an 11-30 co. Long duration view: inevitability in autonomy. As exciting as PL? As satisfying to get right? No. But 10% in PL is inferior to 8% in PL and 2% in the humanoid robot front runner unless you’re just maxing variance. Anyhow, just 2 cents from someone who took much longer to learn what you describe here. Can’t believe you’re 23.
