Berkshire Hathaway $BRK.B has around $344 billion in cash pumping out over $13 billion in US Treasury-based income annually. So far this year, it's earned about $10 billion, which can entirely fund its reported acquisition of Occidental's $OXY petrochemical division OxyChem.

Coca-Cola Consolidated $COKE, the North-Carolina based independent bottler, which also distributes Coca-Cola products to 15-20% of the United States, has delivered 14% annual returns since 1995. Every $10,000 into $530,000 over the past three decades.

In the sense that it is better to buy stock in Berkshire Hathaway $BRK.B rather than most of the stocks it invests in, it is likely better to buy stock in Nvidia $NVDA rather than Intel $INTC despite the latter's price appreciation today.

Autozone $AZO has created enormous wealth by selling auto parts and services, taking all the profit, and using it to repurchase the stock. Since 1991, the stock price has climbed from $7 to $4,213 today. A simple strategy that has worked wonderfully, and still goes on.

It is fitting that Berkshire Hathaway buying Bell Labs refers to a rodent rather than tech company. A classically practical and profitable move, to the long-term benefit of shareholders. $BRK.B

During Covid, I shared an office building with someone who complained about being 90% down on his Build A Bear stock $BBW. His old office was near its headquarters which is I guess how that investment happened. Now, it’s up 26x. Still not a great investment for him over 20 years…

I disagree with United Parcel Services' CEO describing the dividend as "rock solid." The company is paying out $5.5 billion in dividends, while only bringing in $5.7 billion in net profits (down from $11 billion in 2022). The accurate characterization would be that it is barely…

The problem with shoveling money into Intel $INTC is that lack of funds is not the company’s problem. It has misallocated the last $50 billion in retained earnings, borrowings, and handouts. No reason to think the next $50 billion will be any different.

There are just under 230 REITs in existence. Over the past 25 years, 49 of them have beaten the S&P 500. Eighteen have done so by more than three percentage points annually. It is an area where the long-term income investor must be highly selective.

Applovin $APP has had quite the financial transformation in the past three years, as it has transitioned from operating at $100+ million deficit to $3+ billion annual profit. Most incredibly, profit margins are now over 50%. Arguably most substantial change in profitability…

Microsoft $MSFT will have delivered 1,000,000% returns since its 1986 IPO once it hits $815 per share. Incredible feat since it has been a mega-cap company since the 1990s. A life-changing stock for any investor that buys it and, this is the important part, holds.

About ten or so years ago, I recall reading a criticism of an investor who was buying a small position in Broadcom $AVGO, on the basis that small-sized investments are meaningless. The position size wasn't disclosed, but even if it was $1,000, it still compounded into $40,000…
