At HII’s shipyard, I saw how cost-plus capitalism shapes naval shipbuilding: scarce automation, labor shortages, and incentives that reward rising costs.

I knew the Lundins had sold Lundin Energy to Aker BP (a Norwegian oil company) and were large shareholders, but I’d never looked at the stock.

When Charlie Kirk invited me onto his show, I hesitated. I knew little about him and had heard mixed opinions. Out of curiosity, I watched a few episodes. What I saw was a man I often disagreed with—but also someone earnestly searching for truth, and willing to listen with respect.

I'm about to share Part 2 of the letter, where I'll take you deep into the "inside baseball" of our investment process. Specifically, I'll discuss how we structure and determine the position size of each stock in our portfolios – something I haven't covered before (at least not in this detail) and haven't seen other investors discuss much either.

What’s fascinating about this trip is that it has everything and nothing to do with Warren Buffett. The main event that draws everyone to Omaha – the Berkshire Hathaway (BRK) annual meeting.

Techno-fuedalism is now among us set to dominate.
Human thought and action is finally and completely replaced by machines. The machines have gone from just making us weak and soft to complete domination of humanity.
This is dark. Good luck.
Asking European NATO nations to somewhat proportionally contribute to their combined personal defense seems a reasonable thing. Seems they have been riding on the backs of the US taxslave for a bit too long.

"I become slightly more religious every time I board a Boeing aircraft." Great line!
The US is not a democracy. Our politicians through their actions of weaponization and devaluation of the USD, have literally invited nations to hedge or completely abandon it as world reserve. There a number of nations in some process of exiting the dollar. This inevitable fall from grace (and value) has nothing to do with Bitcoin and a reserve likely wouldn't hasten the process. More benefits of a reserve could be derived, as well as the possible pitfalls you address with some left unsaid.
Great podcast, good insights on investments and life
