Wertheim focused on intellectual property and great management teams. For example, he bet on aerospace compounder HEICO when it was just a penny stock and an idea. Heico's Mendelson "was a real estate investor who had studied under David Dodd, co-author of Security Analysis." https://t.co/EZjpOENIox
