You're listening to TIP. So what we're saying is if we have no ability to predict what the future is going to look like, and if you don't know what's going to happen, then you want to get as many factors on your side. If you have a good outcome and you've paid modestly for a business, you tend to have an outsized return in the market. If you have a bad outcome for a company that you've paid up for, you have an outsized

return in the other direction.

So basically what my approach is just to say, let's be honest about what we do know and

0:28.8

what we don't know, how do we protect ourselves in those circumstances?

price, and he walks us through an approach that has shown to capture even better returns than this

1:23.4

based on back testing of historical market results. He takes us through his acquires multiple strategy, the different ways we can apply it,
