@PythiaR @BillBrewsterTBB You know it’s Joe Burnett! $MAMA ceo Adam Michaels is impressive
@taobanker $INTR at 1.2x book 5.5x '27 earnings with a 16% ROE growing at 20% a year probably qualifies. But yes, $BLX is incredible and I still kick myself for selling most of my position at $25 after buying at $15. Grabbed defeat from the jaws of victory there.
