In the high-stakes world of investing, mindfulness helps value investors stay focused, patient, and rational.

In this Vault interview, Phil and Danielle revisit a conversation with mindfulness expert Dawa Tarchin Phillips. His insights on leadership and mindfulness equip investors with the patience, clarity, and resilience needed for volatile markets. By integrating mindfulness into investing, he provides tools to stay focused and make rational, long-term decisions—essential skills for any serious investor.

497- FROM THE VAULT: Dawa Tarchin Phillips on Becoming a Mindful Investor

Engaging in any form of investment involves some level of uncertainty. While it's natural to feel proud of our achievements, it's equally important to analyze our process when things go wrong.

As with anything in life, if we practice value investing for long enough, we’ll inevitably make some missteps. By reflecting on failures, we uncover insights and lessons that not only strengthen our decision-making but also help us grow as more informed and resilient investors.

On this Vault episode we look back on the troubled story of Horsehead Holdings, and Phil dives into his connection to the company and what he took away from his experience watching a business defy expectations.

496- FROM THE VAULT: What Happened to Horsehead Holding?

Free cash flow is a key metric in value investing. It provides a more reliable view of a company’s financial health than its earnings, which can be influenced by creative accounting. By focusing on free cash flow, investors can identify financially solid companies with long-term potential and reduce reliance on speculation.

As we close out 2024 and as InvestED nears its 500th episode, this week we’re looking back on an episode from very early in the show’s run. This Vault pull serves as an excellent primer to anyone who’s new to the show and gives a great overview of Rule #1/Buffett-style investing.

494- Happy Holidays

So a business you own is undergoing an event that’s made the future less certain—so what’s your next move as a value investor? Finding the right time to sell can be difficult when the M.O. is to buy and hold, but knowing when to break with an investment can be just as important as knowing what to buy in the first place.
Investing success hinges on finding antifragile companies—those that thrive in adversity and compound growth over time. Focusing on a few resilient businesses, rather than over-diversifying, leads to better long-term returns, especially during downturns.
Rather than timing the market, investors should prioritize companies with strong fundamentals and compounding potential. Patience and discipline are vital to benefit from their growth through adversity.
On this week’s show, Phil and Danielle discuss how to approach your investments having events and what the Rule #1 philosophy can tell us about these situations.

493- Eventing

Your circle of competence is the cornerstone of smart investing. Expanding your knowledge as you grow keeps your skills sharp and your strategy strong.
When you focus on what you know best, you gain a clearer view of potential investments. This clarity can help you navigate market shifts with greater confidence and resilience than when you’re taking on an investment with more unknowns.
In this episode, Phil and Danielle discuss how your perspectives can change over the years, and how expanding and refining your circle of confidence can use that change to your advantage.

492- Questionable Mastery

To novices and outsiders, the practice of investing can appear intimidating and overwhelming. However, despite the seemingly high barriers to entry and understanding market dynamics, an investor’s IQ matters less than their ability to be disciplined, patient, and emotionally detached from their investments.

In fact, this applies even more to newcomers than it does to seasoned investors, as working with more capital can make it difficult to find impactful investments compared to a modest portfolio. As you grow in your investing practice, those added complications can be countered by an expanded circle of competence and deeper market knowledge.

This week, Phil and Danielle discuss how an investor’s mental state and learned habits can aid their investing journey more than their sheer brain power. They also dig into the ongoing antitrust trial over Google’s practices and what the outcome could mean for the tech world.

As value investors, we aim to identify and monitor exceptional, well-managed companies that dominate their industries, effectively operating as unique monopolies.
A good starting point is using Google to gather basic insights—stock charts and financial summaries provide a broad overview. From there, explore their reports to assess transparency: are they forthcoming with information, or does it seem like they’re withholding details?
Finally, conduct a deep analysis to determine whether the company aligns with your values and investment philosophy.
In this follow-up to the previous episode's discussion, Phil and Danielle return to Terumo to talk through a recent application of their research process.

489- Talking Terumo

We all know the ever-popular key to financial success in the 21st century: just get your coffee/avocado toast at home and quit wasting all of your money!

While there’s something to be said for limiting unnecessary impulse buys, the benefit of small wins in our daily lives isn’t something that we should overlook. While the #1 rule of investing is “don’t lose money,” it’s important for each investor to decide what “losing” money means to them.

Join Danielle as she checks in for the beginning of this holiday season and talks through her idea of what it means to set yourself up for success no matter what.
