  • About the Talk
    Tom Gayner is the CIO of Markel Corp, where he manages the company's investment portfolio. He talks about his journey as an individual and value investor. A recent Wall Street Journal feature on Mr Gayner's investing style mentions: "He has an outstanding investing record. He works only for Markel and doesn’t take outside clients, but every investor can learn from him.You never would know any of this [extraordinary success] from listening to Mr. Gayner. After a good year, most portfolio managers beat their chests even harder than they beat the market; Mr. Gayner’s 2014 report merely said, “our overall equity portfolio earned 18.6%,” without even mentioning that the S&P 500 was up 13.7%.Instead of trying to mimic the inimitable brilliance of Mr. Buffett, maybe more investors should emulate the common sense and patience of Mr. Gayner."

    The most important thing that should be on everyone mind currently should be to invest in different sources of income that doesn't depend on the government. Especially with the current economic crisis around the word. This is still a good time to invest in various stocks, Gold, silver and digital currencies.

    I like this. Lots of common sense. And - tbf - not a lot I can disagree with (and who am I to do that anyway - with Tom's track record). But I see - looking at the last 10 years - Markel did brilliantly 'til the summer of 2018 and has been flat ever since while the S&P500 has soared by +110%. This is intriguing. Does anyone know why it's suddenly all gone flat? Is it Value vs Growth? Is it because he's not good at Big Tech - and they've had their biggest spurt in that time? Has he 'lost his touch'?

    I feel like the growth side is more important then it was back in grahams days. Not saying his theories aren't important anymore but the game has changed. Its not good enough to just apply his theories, you have to apply fishers theories more then before.

    I'm a HUGE fan of Gayner and MKL. That said, the stock is currently slightly overvalued. Also, he has started to overthink things and his returns have suffered. 53:33 I could tell that just from his performance, which has suffered because of it. Carmax (KMX) has been a mistake. While it's definitely a good company that will have acceptable returns to the average investor, it wasn't a value when they entered and price at entry makes a huge difference in total return. Gayner is chasing growth more and more these days rather than value, and his returns have suffered from it.
