Russo says investors should look to buy businesses with some margin of safety that comes when these businesses are available at a sufficient discount from their actual value.
Russo feels the real glue of investing is understanding a company’s culture. A company’s culture is one aspect that separates great businesses from mediocre or poor ones.
Businesses with healthy cultures are successful and provide attractive investment opportunities while those with cultures that are unhealthy tend to perform poorly, leading to share price under-performance and permanent loss of capital
