John [Templeton] became my mentor in many ways. His investment philosophy blends in well with my understanding of human psychology and personality because we both liked to go to unusual places to unlock hidden value.

In the roughly 25 years since the legendary Sir John Templeton took the twofold risk (one, of betting on emerging markets, and two, hiring me) to run his pioneering emerging markets fund, I’d put in enough time on commercial flights to earn myself a number of frequent-flier first-class flights to the moon. I’d toured rubber plantations in Thailand and road-tested bikes over the pothole-ridden roads of rural China. I’d choked on roasted camel’s meat, sheep’s eyeball, guinea pig, and dined (surprisingly well) on scorpions on toast. I’d hobnobbed with princes, potentates, and pashas, and been swindled in souks so labyrinthine I’m still amazed I ever found my way out. I’d taken bone-jolting rides on mountain roads that would have turned my hair gray if I had any left to turn. All to find ‘undervalued companies’ before other investors do. I think you could safely say that I’m driven.

The vast majority of the bargains out there are in shares of organizations that have made a few mistakes along the way. That’s why these stocks are so cheap. That’s why a whole lot of smart people think they’re headed nowhere in a hurry. Our job is to prove them wrong.
