Pabrai’s Investing Wisdom

  • “Heads I win; tails I don’t lose much.” Favor low‑downside, asymmetric bets (Dhandho mindset).
  • Few bets, big bets, infrequent bets. Wait patiently; act decisively on rare, high‑conviction ideas.
  • Shameless cloning. Learn from proven investors & models; copy when the odds are favorable.
  • Checklists & pre‑mortems. Reduce unforced errors with structured checklists before investing.
  • Circle of competence. Stay within what you can value; pass on “too hard” buckets.
  • Owner‑operator alignment. Prefer skin‑in‑the‑game, buyback‑friendly “cannibals.”
  • Patience & inactivity. Doing nothing is often best; avoid churn and forced action.
  • Focus & concentration. Concentrated portfolios are fine when downside is controlled.
  • Margin of safety. Demand discounts to conservative intrinsic value.
  • Spawners & optionality. Favor businesses that can reinvest and spawn new growth avenues.

Checklist Ideas (starter)

  • Unit economics durable? Pricing power? Switching costs?
  • Capital allocation: buybacks/dividends/M&A track record aligned with owners?
  • Balance sheet resilience: leverage, covenants, refinancing cliff?
  • Industry structure: consolidation, cyclicality, regulatory shocks?
  • Management integrity & incentives: skin‑in‑the‑game, history of candor?
  • Base‑rate thinking: what % of similar cases worked?
  • Simple thesis test: can a 12‑year‑old get it?
  • Downside math: what happens under bear case? (liquidity, covenants, time to pain)
