Every 10-bagger starts as “boring.”
The best opportunities don’t shout.
They whisper:
> Consistent margins
> Repeatable growth
> Owner-operator mindset
Listen closely.
Here are some companies I'm excited about for the future 👇🏻
Nu Holdings | $NU

S&P Global | $SPGI

What company am I missing? 👀
Most people want freedom.
Few are willing to work quietly for years to earn it.
If you invest with patience and write with purpose, you’re already ahead.
Want a quick investing filter?
Look for:
• High ROIC
• Low debt
• High insider ownership
• Simple business model
That alone filters out 90% of the noise.
Here’s something you’ll rarely hear:
> The best-performing investors… buy fewer stocks.
• They go deeper, not wider.
• They study for months.
• And they wait like snipers.
Diversification is for protection.
Concentration is for conviction.
7 high-quality mid-caps that are quietly compounding, setting themselves up for tremendous success.
Curious which made the list?

My investing values:
• Quality over hype
• Patience over prediction
• Ownership over FOMO
• Simplicity over complexity
This isn't just about money, it's about peace of mind.
Warren Buffett made 99% of his wealth after age 50.
Why?
Because he never stopped:
• Reading
• Thinking
• Investing in quality
Your edge isn’t timing, it’s staying in the game.
Want to build real wealth?
Then stop asking:
> “What will go up next?”
Start asking:
> “What can compound forever?”
That question changes everything.
Top 1% investors:
• Stay calm
• Read constantly
• Think independently
• Take full responsibility
• Adapt when the facts change
• Hold a strong conviction long-term
• Let compounding work for decades
I remember buying my first stock in 2020.
• Didn’t know what ROIC meant.
• Didn’t read the 10-K.
• Just vibes.
Now I read investor decks like novels.
Growth takes time.
But it stacks quietly.
That's it!
Put Rochon's lessons to work and start outperforming!

3. Give Medals to Your Mistakes
• Everyone misses

• Learn publicly, grow internally
2. The Market Is a Tool, Not an Oracle
• You can’t time it
• Don’t treat prices as truths
• Think like a business owner
• It’s irrational in the short term

1. Long-Term Thinking Isn’t a Preference—It’s a Survival Strategy

• Enduring pain is part of the journey
• Volatility is the cost of compounding
• Patience + perseverance = real returns
• Sticking to principles beats chasing trends
François Rochon is undoubtedly one of the best quality investors alive.
With minimal effort, he achieved an annualized return of 15% since July 1, 1993.
