Episode Overview

In this wide-ranging conversation, legendary investor Bill Nygren discusses how value investing has evolved since the 1980s—and why the traditional valuation metrics many investors still rely on no longer adequately measure a company’s true worth. Nygren explains how intangibles like brand and customer acquisition costs have transformed the investing landscape, why accounting conservatism can obscure opportunity, and what he learned from Warren Buffett’s purchase of Coca-Cola decades ago.

This episode is a masterclass on adapting a classic investment philosophy for the modern age—combining rigorous analysis with intellectual flexibility.

Key Topics Covered

• The evolution of value investing: Why old accounting methods fail to capture the true worth of modern businesses built on brands and technology.
• The Coca-Cola revelation: How Buffett’s investment reshaped Nygren’s definition of value.
• Why financials are misunderstood: Why Nygren sees opportunity in financials despite investor skepticism.
• The hidden risk in the S&P 500: What investors are overlooking about today’s index concentration.
• Airbnb, Merck, and Comcast: How to analyze quality businesses that the market misunderstands.
• AI and investing: Why Nygren believes the biggest winners from AI won’t be chipmakers—but companies that use AI better.
• Position sizing and discipline: How Nygren thinks about portfolio concentration and risk management.

This week, I had the honor of interviewing Thomas Peterffy, the founder of Interactive Brokers, on The World According to Boyar podcast. Thomas’s life exemplifies the American Dream: When he came to the United States from Communist Hungary in 1965, virtually penniless and with no knowledge of English, he immediately began teaching himself computer programming while saving up for a seat on the American Stock Exchange. Using technological advances he himself helped pioneer, Thomas established a successful market-making business, paving the way for his biggest financial success: Interactive Brokers, which has a market capitalization north of $50 billion and where he is by far the biggest shareholder. Stay tuned for my discussion with Mr. Peterffy—I think you’ll find it as educational as it is inspiring.

The Interview Discusses:

• Thomas Peterffy’s background.
• Challenges of adapting to a new country and finding work.
• The immigrant mentality and its impact on success.
• The importance of rewarding merit in a free market economy.
• The value proposition Interactive Brokers brings to clients.
• Importance of maintaining a conservative balance sheet and excess capital.
• Future growth areas, including global markets and professional investors.
• Interactive Brokers’ unique position in the marketplace.
• The potential impact of future presidential administrations on business.
• Thomas’s decision to step down as CEO and focus on his role as chairman.
• The joy of building and improving the Interactive Brokers platform.

Biography:

Thomas Peterffy is founder and chairman of Interactive Brokers. A pioneer of digital trading in the 1980s, he was the first to build computer systems able to trade financial assets electronically, independent of direct human intervention. Born in Budapest, Hungary in 1944, he escaped communism in 1965 by emigrating to the United States. He learned computer programming, and his formula for pricing contingent assets was an early version of what is now known as the Black-Scholes model. In 1977, he became a member of the American Stock Exchange. Peterffy built the first automated market-making firm for stocks, options, and futures, which later gave rise to Interactive Brokers, a global, electronic broker with a market capitalization of  over $50 billion.
