“There’s no shortcuts, at a certain point you just have to go in and start analyzing as many businesses as you can. Eventually, you’ll start realizing what separates a good business from a truly great one.”

As an MBA student sitting in my valuations classroom, these words spoken from the visiting hedge fund manager were a guiding light for the next step of my intellectual journey as an investor.

This website was created as a public repository to keep track of all the businesses I’ve been able to profile, and to hopefully provide another source of inspiration and ideas for other aspiring investors. I also plan on publishing some of my company deep-dives, investment research and other thought-pieces about value creation, alpha generation, and important financial/accounting concepts.

I welcome any feedback or differing opinions because I believe good debate sharpens good ideas and reveals bad ones. So please email me at rsp@randomstockpicks.com with any suggestions, comments, or notes.
