Leandro González-Sicilia - Multi-Generational Family Businesses, Luxury Investing, Hermès

I welcome Leandro of Best Anchor Stocks to Gentleman Speculator. Leandro is the co-founder of an investment research service and an equity analyst I deem worthy of paying attention to. We discuss the value of multi-generational family businesses, focusing especially on Hermès. Despite challenges, there is a small subset of public companies where being family controlled is a benefit. We talk luxury investing, how luxury brands are a reflection of human nature, and a contrast between European and American markets.

Leandro's work is thoughtful. He’s a deep researcher, and a bottom-up, long-term investor who avoids the noise.
