## Resource

My guest on the show this week is James Emanuel, a private investor and the founder of Rock & Turner. James has thought deeply about many aspects of the investment world—and is an active writer on his Substack as well as being the author of a number of books. In this deep conversation, we discussed: - What led James to focus on investing full time; - Why he decided to run what is essentially an all-cap global strategy; - The reasons he has such a negative opinion of dividends; - Why he calls stock-based compensation the most abused aspect of corporate finance; and - His newest book, Fabric of Success James mentioned several securities on this podcast. The only one I own is Berkshire Hathaway.
