Unfortunate, that honesty backfires sometimes. Guy, I appreciate the honesty and straightforwardness in the book. It's one thing to start a fund with family money and another to grow it to 197m over a decade whilst beating the market. I know it's not warren Buffett compounding rates yet impressive. Please don't let negative comments discourage you from sharing your experiences with others.

Considering the market capitalisation of US and EU companies I honestly don't see the difference. Actually I do believe that he is more advantaged to soneone managing a family money because he can use resources to meet management and talk to experts.

[@aaryanmehta4609]

Honesty never backfires, it’s just like value investing... long term advantages overweight the short term pitfalls. An impressive record considering Guy started investing in what was called “The Lost decade” of investing, and beat the market by 3-4%

The way he speaks is like that touch in the centre of a dark room which provides light. To quote James Grant. Awesome presentation!

[@BorisLikesBonds]

Guy is like the King of Cool. Collected, calm, and thoughtful. He's the kind of guy I could hang out with all day and stay engaged. I really appreciate his qualities of "cool" and try to emulate them in myself. Oftentimes I fall short, but I still try. Thanks for a good presentation!

His book is one of the most delightful reads for value investors

Great talk, but who cares about past reunions? If you weren’t friends with them In your childhood I don’t know why you would then be in adult hood

Even he is in denial. 2% over the SP500 with a much more concentrated portfolio compared to an index fund with much less concentration risk does not sound a good deal in terms of risk-returns

Tbh volatility does not decrease much after 10+ holdings.

[@JP-lk1dz]

@@muabyt7333 volatility does not measure the risk on investment, that is the most common wrong concept among investors, mainly because they all went throught business schools that teach that wrong

[@Username6556username]

2% over 1 year may not be enough but 2% consistently over 10 years makes a hell lot of difference.

[@sebfox2194]

Like Prateek says, 2% extra compounded over 10+ years makes a big difference.
