Great time saving summary... but
Klarman's famous work is one of those highly regarded investing books that I have never read, and I am grateful for this time saving, concise summary. My comments here are based on this summary, not on Klarman's original book.
Novice value investors will no doubt learn much from the original book, and may find it worthwhile to start with this summary, or indeed use it as a refresher. That said, after listening to this, I feel no compulsion to read the original book. The principles have been well covered, dissected & explored in many of the great investing books, and my sense is that experienced value investors will not gain much original insight here.
When I say "great investing books", I'm referring to books such as:
- The Essays of Warren Buffett, Cunningham
- The Intelligent Investor, Graham
- One Up on Wall Street, Lynch
- Behavioural Investing, Montier
- Templeton's Way with Money, Templeton
- Fooled by Randomness, Taleb
- Beat the Crowd, Fisher
These are books that I can read again and again, and feel a little wiser with each reading.
Also, I have a small problem with the "margin of safety" concept, as presented here. The idea is that one should apply a margin for error in one's valuation, on the basis that one may have made an anlytical or informational error. This seems to me to imply that an exact intrinsic value could be ascertained if one were in full possession of the facts, and if one were sufficiently thorough in their due diligence.
This is a popular conception, but I believe it is fundamentally erroneous. Only a cystal ball will enable one to be in possession of the relevant facts. In truth, many things are unknowable, especially with respect to the future. Future outcomes lie on a continuum of plausibility. The investor's skill lies not in ascertaining the "one true future", but rather in determing a range of values that may be associated with plausible futures, their likelihood, and what price to pay for the opportunity, if any.
The "margin of safety" concept then, in the main, is a question of how aggressvely one wants to position themselves on that spectrum. There is no hard-and-fast intrinsic value.
