Sobre este episodio
On today’s episode, Clay is joined by François Rochon to discuss his long-term investing philosophy. François firmly believes that buying great businesses at fair prices is the key to success as a long-term investor. He also believes that trying to time the market is a fool’s errand and that stock price volatility is a gift to investors seeking to beat the market. Since Francois started the Rochon Global Portfolio in 1993, he’s compounded capital at 13.6% per year on average net of fees, and the S&P 500 has compounded at 10.6%.
