How do top investors decide when to buy, sell, or hold a stock, and stick with it for decades? In this deep-dive interview, Jonathan Wellum, CEO of RockLinc Investment Partners, breaks down the exact investment process he’s used for 35 years to deliver long-term wealth for clients.

Wellum walks us through:

  • How to identify durable and great businesses in the right industries

  • Why discounted cash flow (DCF) is his go-to valuation tool, and how he applies it conservatively

  • The power of compounding and tax deferral (the Buffett formula in action)

  • When to sell a stock, from mistakes to overvaluation to better opportunities

  • How he sizes positions, builds portfolios, and navigates market hype with discipline

  • Real-world examples from Amazon, Burford Capital, GROY, and Franco-Nevada
