You're listening to tip.
On today's episode, I'm joined by Adam Ziesel to discuss his updated thoughts on big tech companies.
Adam began his career doing research for Samford, Bernstein, Barron Capital and Davis Selected Advisors.
After these stints, he started his own.
Firm, Gravity Capital Management in 2003 and.
Since then he's outperformed the S&P 500.
But it hasn't been a straight write up.
For the first decade he implemented the traditional value investing approach of buying cheap and unloved securities and then in the mid-2010s, his strategy started to fall out of favor and quit working.
So he evolved his approach to what.
He calls value 3.0, which is outlined extensively in his wonderful book where the Money Is.
Since transitioning to the value 3.0 framework, he's back on track to outperform the market while also owning the best of the best businesses.
During today's discussion, we cover Adam's key realizations as a value investor over the.
Past 20 plus years.
How the concept of intrinsic value can help anchor us in reality, even though it's just a mental model we use to evaluate businesses.
Adam's updated views on Alphabet and Amazon since he published his book in 2022, his approach to taking advantage of the AI wave without paying these hefty valuations, why progressive insurance is dominating the auto insurance space and taking share from Geico.
And so much more.
With that, I bring you today's Episode with Adam Ziesel.
