Todd sits down with John Rotonti, portfolio manager at Bastion, for a wide-ranging conversation on what separates great investors from good ones, why there’s no single “right way” to invest, and how to get comfortable paying a premium multiple for exceptional businesses. John shares key takeaways from his J-Ro Show, where he interviewed some of the top names in professional investment management, and breaks down the four growth engines he looks for in a portfolio company. The conversation covers position sizing, the Mittelstand concept, corporate culture as an undervalued moat, and why Amphenol’s seat at the table with NVIDIA may be one of the most compelling stories in the market today.
Topics covered: concentrated portfolios, justified P/E ratios, family-run businesses, acquisition machines, AI infrastructure, quality vs. valuation, and more.
