We Study Billionaires - The Investor’s Podcast Network
Business:Investing
On today’s episode, Clay Finck does analysis on two high-quality compounders – Topicus.com and Copart. Topicus.com is a spin off of Constellation Software and is at a size similar to what CSI was back in 2010. They provide vertical market software and vertical market platforms in Europe. Copart provides online auctions and vehicle remarketing services in the United States, Canada, and many other countries.
Both companies have strong competitive advantages, strong fundamentals, high insider ownership, and managers who think and act like owners, which led Clay to researching them further during this episode.
IN THIS EPISODE YOU’LL LEARN:
00:00 - Intro.
02:05 - Clay’s biggest takeaways from reading 100 Baggers by Chris Mayer.
07:00 - Chuck Akre’s 3 legged stool approach to compounding wealth.
