I think if you make money doing a job and if it brings steady income per month it helps cover your bill and etc. Whereas in investing, the returns are uncertain and to generate income to match let us say $50,000-$70,000 a year you need a lot of initial money in the first place to invest. I think that is why it is tough to make money as an individual investor. Here are some questions. So what is stopping you from being a DRM copywriter? Have you found a compounder through a screener? Have you thought about starting your own business?

Interestingly, Martin Shkreli says you can make more money managing other people's money than investing on your own.

Start with a small company like Sitestar corp (SYTE). And you will get a feel and understand 10-Q and K's more easily. Then you can work your way up to a company like GE or Exxon when you read their quarterly and annual report. Over time you will get a feel for what sections to read or not to read.

theperksofbeinganINTJ- One suggestion I have is to clean up your LinkedIn profile and make it more professional. Now I like your writing style in your letters and keep it that way.

Look into gurufocus.com. It has got 10 year financials like value line. Very value oriented.

Who is your favorite comedian DTEJD1997? Who does social commentary similar to John Oliver.

Money piling into index funds which in turn the index funds buy shares and in turn stocks go up. Vice versa.

Make sure you check the stock hasn't been written before. You can do this by clicking on the subject text and it automatically sorts everything alphanumerically. Then where the page numbers are press the ... (it is after 3) and it will expand all the page numbers so you find the tickers faster. Yes you could type the ticker on the search bar and it should pop up the results but it doesn't show everything for some reason.

Amazing opportunity, I wish I lived in the area to help Doris out.

I found this article to be interesting. http://www.marketwatch.com/story/meet-the-man-who-tips-50-instead-of-donating-to-charity-2016-04-13 I wonder what do you think about this mentality?

I will take the opposite side and say it has gotten better. Because you can access all the information a lot quicker and it is not on the side. The charting is better but not cleaner than google finance. Also most importantly I can see the news on why the stock went down. Google doesn't do a good job at all, it is very confusing for me. Overall, Yahoo puts all the information in one page. Oh yea don't forget use an ad blocker.

This man has got it. +1

Nasdaq and Marketwatch have it. Especially if you're looking for charts. Historical prices are iffy. http://www.nasdaq.com/symbol/zionz/historical

Bill Gates released a video about his friendship with Warren Buffett and it was filmed in 360. Enjoy!!! :) https://www.gatesnotes.com/About-Bill-Gates/25-Years-of-Learning-and-Laughter?WT.mc_id=20160706174155_25-Years-of-Learning-and-Laughter_BG-TW&WT.tsrc=BGTW&linkId=26274658

What were yall thinking? If didn't have Will Smith of course it wasn't going to be good.

Because we don't invest in infrastructure to prevent accidents like this.

Can't wait for that future. I was thinking flying cars will save the insurance industry. If you think about the risks.

Buy Exor instead and watch the money compound. I would buy both and see which one performs well in the next 3-5 years.

You need to set aside time everyday for just reading. Like two hours a day and then prioritize it by gathering a list of reading materials and organize it and figure out which is worth tackling and if you do that everyday you can get through a lot of material and some point you will naturally get rid of the materials you don't want to read.

That would close the discount and I think the company would get a premium valuation in-line with the conglomerates.

CONeal, I would think it has to do with Marvel comics releasing movies every year. What basketball cards you own are doubling?

Can someone list the ticker symbols? I am looking at the bill. If I interpret it correctly. The Bill will help Fannie and Freddie get out conservatorship and it will operate independent. Edit: I read the bill again. And this would not help shareholders. So hopefully the courts can make a better decision.

I think at the end of the day. He should have accelerated the process. Instead of waiting to turn around in 5 years. He should have done it in 3 years. Also he isn't the owner, so he couldn't execute the 5 turnaround that he envisioned. I would like to chat with him and pick his brain.

Yes I know it's about results. I just find it interesting he makes references to value investing and references to people like tetlock. The reason why I will read it again is I don't mind studying from failures. I hope he has success elsewhere.

Hey guys, You might be wondering why I am posting this letter. Well he references many of the Value Investing greats. Especially Charlie and Warren. And he mentions about topics that value investors look into. It is a good read and I can't wait to read it again. http://espn.go.com/pdf/2016/0406/nba_hinkie_redact.pdf
