Why this Workshop?
Value investing as a discipline dates back to the mid-1930s when Benjamin Graham wrote Security Analysis. Graham has had his successors, most notable being Warren Buffett and Walter Schloss, who have practiced this art of sensible stock picking to create tremendous amount of wealth over the decades.
Now, despite the fact the broader environment in which businesses operate and the way in which they create or destroy value has changed over the years, the basic principles driving value investing have remained unchanged. These core principles of value investing have stood the test of time.
In my online Value Investing Workshop, I take a deep dive into these very principles of the art of value investing and how you as an investor can apply them to your personal investment decision making.
Overall, I have sifted through a mountain of amazing books, documents, lectures, plus my own experiences in investing to bring to the table the most important practical ideas in becoming a sensible, successful, long term investor.
This is your opportunity to become a simpler, sensible, and successful long-term investor, and avoid the uncertainty and outlandish time and pain that you would otherwise spend doing it all alone.
All in all, if you want to take control of your investing life but don’t know how to do it, and make your money work hard for you by learning how to invest sensibly, this Workshop can be a valuable resource in your arsenal.

Charlie Munger said, “I constantly see people rise in life who are not the smartest, sometimes not even the most diligent, but they are learning machines. They go to bed every night a little wiser than they were when they got up and boy does that help, particularly when you have a long run ahead of you.”
