I tend to favor management that has their skins in the game and I
100% have faith in them to do the right thing...
With Uncle Don and Uncle Simon hold 2 million shares a piece it's not small amount of
money so I'm sure they want to grow their share portfolio like any of us.
Other Uncle I like that has skin in the game is Uncle Graham from Flight Centre
Uncle Con from Centrebet , Uncle Peter and various directors from Cash Converter...
I buy up all these business where I identified management has big stake in the business and their fortune depend on the success of the business...
Good point, with two caveats: Firstly, their skin I hope hasn't come at the expense of other shareholders through OTT ESOPs; secondly, I like when a good bit of their own wealth is tied up in the company, not just a good bit of money. Case in point a friend the other day was telling me how James Packer must really believe in online retailing after he paid $60m for 40% of Catch of the Day, of course when you have a few billion lying around $60m is not really having skin in the game.
ROE, you have a lot of uncles!
