Guy Spier on the Search for Value and What He Would Revise in His Book

We had the pleasure of spending an hour with value superinvestor Guy Spier, CEO of Aquamarine Capital, on September 17, 2019.

Guy talked about the elusive search for compelling investment opportunities in the current market environment. He mentioned several companies he finds intriguing and potentially worthy of deeper research, including AO World (UK: AO), Appian (US: APPN), Metro Bank (UK: MTRO), and Trupanion (US: TRUP).

Guy also reflected on his book, The Education of a Value Investor, and highlighted a portion of the book with which he no longer agrees.
