There is a 90 minute documentary on Sir Ron Brierley this saturday night at 9.45pm, well worth watching for everyone. This guy is a genius and many of his investing friends like Bob Jones will be on it...a must see I think.

A documentary about how a lonely boy from Island Bay went on to become Sir Ron Brierley - one of the most powerful men in Australian and New Zealand business - and how his own staff then plotted his downfall.

Yup, the guy is a genius and NZ's Warren Buffet, Bob Jones said he is the smartest person he knows, anyway should be good to watch.Comment

It was good to watch, but most of the important stuff (well the stuff that was important to me - ie where he got his financial backing from, how he analysed firms, how he chose which firms firms to scrutinise etc) was glossed over or omitted altogether.

I thought it was quite clear:
1. He worked hard and was creative about what he did and saved his money for investment capital.2.He looked for coys which had assets which were undervalued and used his skill to unlock that value or for coys where there was synergy with what he already had.
Graeme Hart does the same today as does Rons firm GPG. Just read what they are doing with the coy which owns the racecourse.Comment
