Hedge fund manager Glenn Greenberg is very confident in his stock picking. That is why he puts billions of dollars into only 12 stocks. He started out in hedge fund Chieftain Capital Management. Then he went on his own with Brave Warrior Capital. As of 06/30/2012, Brave Warrior Capital owns 12 stocks with a total value of $1.4 billion. Greenberg was an English major in college and never contemplated going into investing. He ended up going to Columbia business school with no real career objective. He went to work for J.P. Morgan after b-school. A light bulb went off for Greenberg when he was asked to analyze a company that owned land with redwoods growing on it. He made some enquiries and discovered that the land was worth three times the price at which the company was trading. That shaped his thinking because he learned that there are situations out there where you don't need to be a genius to figure them out.

Glenn Greenberg maintains a highly concentrated portfolio that he describes as a "defense against ignorance." He believes that the more companies you own, the less you will know about each, and the less you know about a business, the more likely you are to make mistakes due to fear and greed. He usually owns less than 10 stocks. Greenberg invests in companies with little competition, and places a great deal of emphasis on Return On Invested Capital.
