| Dear Reader, Keith Fitz-Gerald’s recent interview with Ed D’Agostino produced several memorable quotes on markets, mindset, and how to navigate this grinding portfolio uncertainty we’re all experiencing. In a great discussion on how he finds ideas, Keith mentioned his “Rule of Page 12.” He said: “You want to identify companies that are on the back page before they become front-page news. Now, most investors do that the other way around… They look at the front page, and they say, Oh, wow, that’s in the news. I better buy some, or I better sell some.” Keith then went on to list several examples of this “Rule” being useful to his process. Now here’s a quote from Keith on Meta (Facebook): “That one for me is a no-go. I mean, I called that one a bug in search of a windshield at $350 and people thought I’d lost my marbles. I did that on national television, much to the amusement of several of my colleagues. I said it would go under $100. They really lost their marbles at that point. But that’s exactly what happened.” Keith and Ed also did a “lightning round” segment discussing a range of names and getting Keith’s quick opinion. The entire interview was lively, fast-paced, and full of concrete takeaways. You can read the complete transcript, and see all of Keith’s memorable quotes, when you click here now.
