“There is absolutely no substitute forpaying right price.
In the Bible, it says that love covers a multitude of sins. Well, in
the investing field, price covers a multitude of mistakes.
Forhuman beings, there is no substitute forlove.
Forinvesting there is no substitute forpaying
right price – absolutely none.”
— VanDenBerg, OID, April 2004

Theme 2009

Warren Buffett says –
“Think of three types of savings accounts.
• The Great one pays an extraordinarily high interest
rate that will rise as the years pass.
• The Good one pays an attractive rate of interest that
will be earned also on deposits that are added.
• Finally, the Gruesome account both pays an
inadequate interest rate and requires you to
keep adding money at those disappointing
returns.”
Great, Good, Gruesome – Definition

Great, Good, Gruesome – Graphical Representation

Great companies –
• Require very little incremental capital for growth
• High and steadily rising RoE
Good companies –
• “Put up more to earn more” phenomenon
Gruesome companies

• Earn little or no money

Key takeaways -
• Great companies are fountains of dividends
• Good companies are fountains of earnings
• Gruesome companies are bottomless pits
of capital consumption

Two Greats – See’s Candy vs Nestle India

Key takeaways -
• Both have deployed very little incremental capital
• Incremental PAT / Capital Employed is high for both
• Both are proving to be huge cash machines
• At 21.4%, Nestle’s return is same as 21.7% for See’s
• Main difference:
In Nestle’s case, much of the return is by way of
earnings growth, whereas in See’s it is by way
of earnings yield (i.e. higher margin of safety)
Two Greats – See’s Candy vs Nestle India

Great investments are the result of huge
margin of safety at the time of purchase
Benjamin Grahamon margin of safety
• “It is a favorable difference between price [paid]
and indicated or appraised value.”
• “The function of margin of safety is, in essence, that of rendering
unnecessary an accurate estimate of the future.”
• “Margin of safety lies in an expected earning power
considerably above the going rate for bonds.”

Best investment strategy
• Buy good companies at great price, or
• Buy great companies at good price

Benjamin Graham on good- and low-quality stocks
• The risk of paying too high a price for good-quality
stocks is not the chief hazard …
• … chief losses to investors come from the purchase of
low-quality securities at times of favorable business
conditions.

CharlierMungeron high- and low-quality businesses
• Over the long term, it’s hard for a stock to earn a much better return
than the business which underlies it earns.
• If the business earns 6% on capital over 40 years and you hold it for
that 40 years, you’re not going to make much different than a 6%
return – even if you originally buy it at a huge discount.
• Conversely, if a business earnings 18% on
capital over 20 or 30 years, even if you pay
an expensive looking price, you’ll end up with
one hell of a result.

• Understanding of Great, Good and Gruesome companies is
critical to investment success.
• Great time to buy Great companies (perpetual bonds) at
reasonable prices, as interest rates are likely to remain low
for quite some time.
• Gruesome companies are best avoided.
• Market is likely to see a sector churn – dominance of
commodities will probably give way to users of commodities.
• Corporate profit boom of last five years is unlikely to
continue. However, we have probably seen the market
bottom at Sensex levels of 7,700.
