Poor Man's Mosaic

By George on Fri, 2007-10-19 20:49

Thanks to Nick's great research, we now have access to several chapters of Mohnish Pabrai's book, Mosaic: Perspectives on Investing. Here are the articles that we have found so far that make up many of the chapters of Mosaic:

Title: More Chapters

George,

I found chapters 13, 15, 17, 18, 20, 21, 22,and 24. I couldn't find the other chapters; I'm tired, but I'll look again later (we're still missing 8 chapters). I hope everyone enjoys reading the book.

Title: Thanks! This is pretty

Thanks! This is pretty amazing. I looked all over for Chapter 12 but I had no luck. I'm pretty certain that it wasn't published in September or October 2002 on Fool.com. I even used archive.org to look back at the site as it was in 2002.

Hi,

Did anyone find these? I had a look on SIM but couldn't find anything. I will take another look though.

BTW, thanks very much for posting all of these links. Fantastic!

Title: Jordan, I'm glad you enjoyed

Jordan,

I'm glad you enjoyed them. I went through SIM month by month year by year. I'm 90% certain they are not available online.

Title: Is it time to Buy Infosys?

This article is available on SIM, I downloaded yesterday.
I think it is from January 2002.
Hope this helps, it would be great to find the remaining chapters.

Title: Re: Is it time to Buy Infosys?

I found the link to this article, "Is it time to Buy Infosys?" I added above to the Poor Man's Mosaic outline. Anyone know which chapter this one is?

Title: I'm curious why only some of

I'm curious why only some of the SIM articles are up. Has anyone tried to contact the website and ask if they have the rest of his articles, for example Latticework II?

Title: Good Idea, but no I haven't

Good Idea, but no I haven't contacted them.

Title: It is great that I can read

It is great that I can read these chapters online. I really enjoyed reading these even I have not finished yet. Thanks very much to collect these chapters. I greatly appreciated the effort.

Title: Thanks Mohnish

My pleasure! We really should thank Mohnish and his publisher for keeping these articles accessible.

Does anybody has idea about valuation for Compucredit? It is 52 week low and shareholder's latter seems very interesting...
Thanks

Title: Chapter 11 should be

Chapter 11 should be called Dhando!, all of the subsequent chapter numbers should then be moved up one.

Title: Mosaic Dhando!

I just added a link to my summary of Chapter 11 of Mosaic. This chapter was titled Dhando! and I believe was the inspiration for The Dhandho Investor.

Title: Mosaic: Latticework II added

I just added my summary of Chapter 13: Latticework II to Poor Man's Mosaic.

Title: Is this the microsoft valuation in mosaic

Title: It is the microsoft valuation in mosaic!

Nice find sri! This is indeed part of the Chapter 26. I wonder if the Intel and Cisco valuations by Pabrai are also available on SiliconIndia.com. Anyone find either of those?

I updated Poor Man's Mosaic to include a link "Valuation By Intrinsic Value."

George on Tue, 2008-07-01 22:20
Title: On second thought, your link

On second thought, your link is to Chapter 25 on Intrinsic Value. Chapter 26 is still missing.

George on Thu, 2008-07-10 22:42
Title: More Mosaic

I also added "Avoiding Enron-itis!" and "Yes, But I Like to Punt!" this week.

Title: Some Links Not Working

Hi Guys,

It appears that many of the links to SIM from Chapter 11-26 is not working. I am being directed to a page stating that I have typed in the wrong url? However, articles on the Street.com are working just fine. Please advice? Alternatively, if anybody has stored articles 11-26 be it in whole or in part please email them to me at HmwES@hotmail.com. Thanks a dozen!

George on Mon, 2009-01-12 08:55
Title: It looks like SIM

It looks like SIM restructured its site. I believe most of the chapters are still available but at new links. I'll work on updating those links this week.

Title: Any updates?

Hi George,

Any updates after such a long time? I will also like to enquire how do I edit my posting after I submitted the post?
