Every time I hear him speak, I come back thinking he is the true successor to the Buffet way and should be running Berkshire. It’s the same simplicity in thought, valuing patience and complete adherence to principles.

[@GoodInvestingTalks]

Hahaha... I will pay you a beer if that happens 😅

[@boratsmagadijev940]

He speaks so clearly about investing. Really, easy to understand.

[@aamodmishra2615]

Great interview, Dev is so underrated by the wider community! Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication. Dev says they have a quantitative bar w.r.t what they are willing to pay up for these businesses - would have liked to know what that is!

[@havrenne]

Amazing quality interview and portfolio. Reminds me a little bit of Guy Spier.

[@bandarnath111]

Thanks for bringing Dev. Always love to hear his insights.

[@jamieb8046]

Very informative video. As an investor myself (still learning), I really found this video informative and enjoyable to watch. Thank You!

Thanks for this video @5:19 investing philosophy.

[@GoodInvestingTalks]

You are welcome! 😊

[@musaabsi]

Thank you ! Do you guys know where can I find his letters ?

[@luisvasquez-IL]

Thank you!

[@ku9145]

He was optimistic about Amazon but exited his position in Q4 2022 to Q1 2023 (his fund seems to rarely sell) and significantly added to Intuit. Amazon’s margins are expanding, especially now with their ad business ramping up and materially reflecting in their earnings. The positive inflection point he suggests for Amazon is quickly approaching, so I’m curious if he will re-enter a position, given the current market downturn.

[@GoodInvestingTalks]

Good question to ask for the next interview :).

[@katon361]

Thank you!!

[@Martinit0]

I like this idea of Dev: Investing is the actual "Oreo Test" for grown ups. We laugh at dogs and kids who can't hold back for 10 minutes but then we can't hold onto a stock that dips for a couple of months or doesn't go up with a year.

[@Martinit0]

I am surprised to see him enter the ASML position recently in Q2 2023 when he said he wants to avoid high R&D risk.

[@QualityInvest5]

ASML is actually not very capital intensive. To my understanding theyre closer to an assembly company as opposed to a high capex company that manufactures these big bulky machines.

[@larrysummers5556]

[@jonnagap87]

He clearly said he prefers monopolies and oligopolies. Can’t think of a more clear monopoly

[@anandkarnavat4851]

Great!

Not even two minutes, and already a second call to action to CLICK ON THE LINK. That's fine, ik was about to leave anyway.

[@GoodInvestingTalks]

Hey, thank you for the feedback. I will change that.
