Why These TwoAerCap (AER) — The world's largest aircraft lessor, owning 3,500+ aircraft leased to 300 airlines across 80 countries. Bought below adjusted book value — paying less than $1 for every $1 of assets that management consistently sells at 15-27% premiums. The fleet is 76% new-technology aircraft that airlines literally cannot get elsewhere. Investment-grade funding at 4.1% vs. 6-8% for competitors gives AerCap a structural cost advantage worth ~$900M annually. Book value has compounded at 13% over four years while management retired 45% of outstanding shares. Wealthfront (WLTH) — A low-cost automated wealth platform using software, tax automation, and a clean consumer product to take share from expensive incumbents. Bought because the price looked too low for the quality of the machine: about $0.74 of estimated owner earnings per share against an $8.99 reference price, or an 8.23% starting OE yield before growth. Behind that yield are $94B of platform assets, 1.4M funded clients, advisory assets growing faster than cash, 47% adjusted EBITDA margins, $440M of cash, zero debt, and almost no capex. Cash-sweep revenue is rate-sensitive and governance needs repair, but a capital-light platform with that starting yield does not need heroic assumptions to produce mid-teens returns if owner earnings compound at a reasonable clip. Cash — Dry powder for better prices. The job is to stay ready when a better pitch comes over the plate. The Approach
"Diversification is protection against ignorance. It makes little sense if you know what you're doing." — Warren Buffett
Two positions and cash. Concentrated in my highest-conviction ideas — businesses I've studied through filings, competitive analysis, management audits, and valuation work. Rules
