What's here
A brief each morning, then the work behind my own positions.
Four kinds of write-up, each on a fixed template, each framed as what I think and why.
Journal
Short write-ups on positions and ideas. What I think, why, and what would make me wrong.
Thesis / Valuation / What would make me wrong / Outcome, once closed. Nothing published yet.
Pitches
One-page investment memos. Framed as considerations, never as calls to act.
Overview / Moat / Financials / DCF and comps / Risks. Nothing published yet.
Deals
Deals I'd do. A weekly LBO-candidate read on an ASX or private Australian company.
Why this business / Entry and leverage / Value creation / Exit / What kills it. Nothing published yet.
Macro
Macro developments and how they could matter. Portfolio impact stays private.
What moved / Why / Second-order effects / What I'm watching. Nothing published yet.
Macro watch
The prints that moved, and the week ahead.
US rates and inflation from FRED, the RBA cash rate, Australian numbers from the ABS. Official sources only, updated with each brief.
No prints yet. The table fills in from the first sent edition, with the US series from FRED, the RBA cash rate and the ABS numbers.
