Weekly Email Format Updates
Now that we’ve reincorpated Hunt’s memo into the weekly call, I’m making some changes to the format of this weekly email. You’ll now notice that the “SuperCompounders” section exclusively includes the companies that we’ve discussed in the memo. It also includes page numbers so you can cross reference the companies to the memo.
Supplemental Data
0. The Memo
1. SuperCompounders
This is a list of all the companies covered in the memo. We calculate Total Return for each company assuming you had bought the stock at the average price during the first year of the IPO and reinvested dividend. This is not a ranked list of our favorite investments, rather it is meant to provide additional insightful information on the companies we discuss each week. Naturally, it is harder to compound capital at a high rate (see IRR) over longer periods of time, so it is not surprising to see MRNA topping this list with only ~4 years as a public company.
2. Macro
3. Energy
4. Tech
