In this weeks' special 'On the Couch', we catch up with Mark Landau, the CIO of Long Short Fund (LSF) and the Co -Founder of L1 Capital.

As many of you will know, we have been big supporters of LSF ,and have done extremely well out of this LIC which we first started buying in 2020 at a 30% discount to its NTA. Since then the stock has risen from 100c to 280c. Although the discount has closed, we remain very keen on the fund and their way of doing things. Having chatted to Mark, it is clear LSF should be on every investors radar.  Plenty of great ideas and brilliant advice on the investment process.

The markets have survived the FOMC's "Peak Accommodation" message for the moment, but it can take some time for these things to seep into the asset allocation meetings of the world's biggest fund managers and investment banks. Its a "Pivot Point" in policy and could end up being a pivot point for the markets but for now, we've escaped a trend ending reaction. Lets see what the next few days bring. Not much else going on. Resources down, market drifting, Philip Lowe boring us.

Today we talk about "The Ones that Got away" - I've left about $15m on the table in the last few years, stocks I should never had sold. If only I'd done nothing, instead I fiddled, too clever by half. We also look at the next Paladin. Paladin turned $10,000 into $13,500,000 between April 2003 and April 2007. In four years. One of the stock market's biggest returns in history and one of the fastest. We also look at STRATEGY - no change today and a couple of stocks that are hitting record highs and are now well above the average broker target price.
