So you believe the CFA is a worthwhile time investment ? I'm hoping to land a quant role as I'm currently studying statistics. I find risk management roles to be quite interesting

It takes a remarkable amount of grit to keep going after 15 years of underperformance—hats off to your perseverance! What would you say was the most important lesson you learned during those early years?

I got interested in financial markets through an Instagram guru who touted Forex trading as an easy way to make money. Safe to say, it wasn’t. The Little Book of Common Sense Investing was what first put me on the right path. From there, the WEB rabbit hole got me hooked. I bought my first index fund ETF at 22, Berkshire at 24, and Fairfax at 25. I haven’t sold a share since.

Curious to know the average age of forum participants—just wondering! For context, I'm a 27-year-old college student.

I've also heard good things about Brett. He seem's to be a good self-marketer. I don't know much about the accounting services industry though. Seems highly fragmented, w/ lots of boutique shops. Will have to spent some time reading through their annual reports.

lol

I’m wondering if you know of any CEOs who are value investors / who use a value investing approach in how they manage their companies. Have you come across any examples of less-known leaders who apply these principles in their decision-making for the business?
