Warren Buffett’s rule #1: Never lose money. Real alpha isn’t just finding the next $NVDA — it’s avoiding the 🍩. We apply a forensic checklist to $CTD.AX and $INT.ST to show how structural risk reveals itself long before the delisting headlines.🧵👇

Indonesia's plastics industry may lack the shine of EM hotspots, but Panca Budi (PBID.JK) is a lean local leader with a grip on traditional markets and a distribution moat in this huge market. An undervalued powerhouse in a quietly booming industry? Link: pyramidsandpagodas.com/p/pan…

Trump's tariff own-goal: He apparently has no idea how much this will hurt US consumers and how little it will affect the trade deficit. Asian manufacturers and their investors can, to a large extent, sleep easy tonight. webb-site.com/articles/trump…

[Warning: stream of consciousness post] Small-cap investing in Japan (sub-$300m) in 'no-man's land' without institutional or passive flows can be incredibly challenging and frustrating. Many apply their local 'strategy' to this illiquid landmine and fail. There are 5 ways to win.

1/ Great write up on Hysan Development $0014.hk by my friend @Valuepraya. Check it out! A few comments. Saying Hysan overpaid for the CHR project is an understatement. But it's done, water under the bridge. It's in the price, and by the end of the day it will reinforce Hysan's
New post out on the 'stack. High quality, luxury developer beloved by Hermes and LVMH, yours for 6x recurring earnings.

$CAMB.BR produces ~1500 tons of #antimony per year from recycling lead-acid car batteries. They have a self-developed recycling process. Their goal by 2027 is to recycle as much as 5000 tons of antimony from more diverse waste sources. And in 5+ years to get to 10000-12000 tons.

This morning I published my interview with Hideaki Wada, the CEO of Hikari Tsushin. Wada is quite possibly one of my favorite CEOs for his ability to think critically about capital allocation. This is especially unusual among Japanese CEOs. Link here: open.spotify.com/episode/1lw…

CATL (re)announced their skateboard chassis yesterday which has gone unnoticed, but it's a Big Deal imo. Going to selling cell to packs reduced barrier to entry to a couple billion rmb, selling the whole chassis should reduce it to <1bn (and further reduces differentiation)

Thanks @ValuePraya for translating these. Very helpful for non-mandarin speakers if interested in understanding $PDD (especially since the company doesn't say much publicly).
New post out on the stack, sharing how Pinduoduo's founder found success in his own words. These letters are compared to Buffett's shareholder letters in China but completely unknown outside - worth reading even if you aren't invested in $PDD. Link in bio.
