Diageo
As you can see, Diageo is a story of cyclical downturns in the context of a long-term secular uptrend. Free Cash Flow dips and recovers every cycle. The one thing that has been consistent through the years is a high return on invested capital and a continued shrinking of the share count through buybacks.

Our podcast|videocast will be out sometime on Thursday or Friday. We have a lot of great data to cover this week. Each week, we have a segment called “Ask Me Anything (AMA)” where we answer questions sent in by our audience. If you have a question for this week’s episode, please send it in at the contact form here.
Congratulations to all of the new clients that came in during our 2024 raises and the first two weeks of our Q1 2025 opening. You could not be better positioned for what we believe will be a highly rewarding year in 2025. This view is based on much of the data we have shared in recent weeks on our podcast|videocast(s), as well as our proprietary methods of expressing and executing upon those views on your behalf.
*We re-opened to smaller accounts $1M+ again starting two weeks ago (because we want to be fully positioned as soon as possible before the inauguration – based on some of the data we have referenced on recent podcast|videocast episodes) and will remain open until the end of this week only (Sunday Evening).
Congratulations to all of you I had the pleasure of speaking with and on-boarding in the last two weeks – after we opened up. We have begun deploying capital on your behalf. If you are still in the process of application approval, it usually takes ~24-48 hours.
