giofranchi Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 I hardly know anybody who's done very well in life in terms of cognition that doesn't have somebody trusted to talk to. Einstein would not have been able to do what he did without people to talk to. Didn't need many, but he needed some. You organize your own thoughts as you try and convince other people. It's a very necessary part of operations. If you had some hermit sitting on a mountain, he wouldn't do very good. --Charles Munger, 2014-05-05, on CNBC's "Squawk Box" Gio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uccmal Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 Gio, I agree whole heartedly. When I found this board 10 or so years ago my investing results took off. It helped me develop a philosophy of investing that works for me. Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stahleyp Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 I've been here for about 3.5 years and I enjoy it a ton, too. Thanks to Sanj for bringing it all together. Plus, Kraven helps us with his relationship tips, too. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, Kraven helps us with his relationship tips, too. ;) The board is helping me get precise on my definition of risk. For example...After I read ericopoly's cryptic posts about leverage 10x (maybe more) I finally get a new and good perspective through my thick skull.

Viking Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 Yes, over the years many people have got lots of great help. What I find interesting is the value I get from the board has changed over the years. It is very multifaceted and evolving. Great job everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
