Value investing in shares: applied curiosity & finding great companies ft. Gaurav Sodhi

What is value investing? To Gaurav Sodhi, investing is the act of applied curiosity about the world. It’s not just about knowledge; a lot of it comes down to figuring out what matters and what doesn’t. Plus, a sprinkle of hard-earned confidence to top it off. Today’s episode provides a fascinating overview of the world of value investing with someone who lives and breathes this stuff. Kate, Owen and Gaurav discuss why investing in individual companies can be a game changer, how he researches companies and makes decisions, and some of the major red flags that would stop him from investing in a company. 💸 Join The Intelligent Investor & save This podcast is brought to you by The Intelligent Investor, Australia's premier investment research membership service, where you can read research from great analysts like Gaurav Sodhi.
