Ragupati Chandrasekaran's Notes from the Biglari Holdings 2012 Annual Meeting

We thank Ragupati Chandrasekaran for sharing his Biglari Holdings 2012 annual meeting notes with our readers and members. Here is some information on Ragu's background in value investing:

Ragu's interest in value investing were sparked by these words from the foreword of a book recommended by a friend: "Walter Lippmann spoke of men who plant trees that other men will sit under. Ben Graham was such a man." The book: The Intelligent Investor. The author of the foreword: Warren E. Buffett. Software engineer turned value investor. Suffice to say that Ragu is by far happier now. 

Ragu has passed Levels 1 and 2 of the CFA program. He worked with Complete Growth Investor between mid 2009 and early 2011 as an analyst and co-manager of the real money value portfolio, focusing mostly on US small and micro-cap stocks. He is terrified of dogs (and has the scar to justify it), so he lives only with his wife Vani, and their three children in Chennai, India. His personal investing blog is here.
