@hkuppy Just putting it out there: maybe they are scaremongering because they want regulation? Regulation puts some kind of moat around their business and partially alleviates the Chinese competitive issue?
@Greenbackd Not easy out there, September was particularly brutal for quality value, hoping that the coming earnings season brings back the focus on fundamentals.
@heymaxkoh More than 10% cash, can’t find good ideas from a bottom up perspective, don’t want to take the surplus cash and pile into a broad basket at these valuations, last time I did that ( 2000), it took me years to get my money back, I like the optionality that cash provides.
@BillBrewsterSCG What would you differently if you were a private business?
What would cause you to make a loss next year?
What’s stopping you from growing faster than you are at the moment?
If you were to rebuild this business from scratch what would be different?
The incentives are there to keep this thing going, I think we have to mentally prepare for more craziness. I just wonder what the natural counter balance is to bring the speculation to an end? I think it might be inflation, what do you think it might be?
