Dear friends – I’m very happy to announce that I’ll be launching my very first “chapter” next month. And I’d love for you to join me!
Ready to become a learning machine?
👇👇👇
2/ Chapter (getchapter.app/@gautam/invest…) is a revolutionary new learning platform, where you can step inside the minds of authors and thought leaders, to gain deep knowledge on a subject in just 4 weeks.
3/ I hinted at this idea recently on Twitter, and your responses blew me away:
4/ @chapter_HQ has been built around a highly inspiring, big picture vision of the creator economy, human curation, and the future of content discovery.
5/ Each “chapter” is a supercharged learning experience – you’ll get highly curated content + exclusive analysis + direct access to ask me questions.
6/ And since it’s cohort-based, you won’t be doing it alone. You’ll be discussing each module with enthusiastic peers, just like a college seminar.
7/ The best part, in my opinion, is that the founders of Chapter (@KyleLadewig and @stflory) are on a mission to make learning more accessible. As a result, chapters are 99% cheaper than other premium online courses.
8/ In an era of rising inflation in our daily lives, learning to invest well is now a necessary life skill. And there is no reason why everyone in the world should not have affordable access to high-quality specialized education (our society rewards excellence and specialization)
9/ My first chapter will be on "The Discipline of Investing." I’ve handpicked the very best 20 articles, white papers, podcasts, and videos from more than 1,000+ pieces I have studied over the last decade, and I have added my key insights and learnings from them.
10/ My goal is to make you a confident and skilled investor by the end of these 4 weeks, and to deliver 100x the value of the chapter price. Here’s a sneak peek of some of the content we’ll be covering: 👇
11/ - An introduction to investing by Peter Lynch & Giverny Capital
- A masterclass on value creation by Terry Smith & Ensemble Capital
- Learning the art of valuation from Howard Marks & Michael Mauboussin
- Lessons from Warren Buffett & Seth Klarman on building a strong mindset
12/ If you like the work I do, I would greatly appreciate a retweet of this thread. Let's empower as many people as we can with knowledge.
A thread on why high-quality curation by trusted voices in their respective fields is the need of the hour: 👇
1/
"Information is no longer a scarce commodity; we have more of it than we know what to do with."
—Nate Silver, The Signal and the Noise
2/
“A wealth of information creates a poverty of attention and a need to allocate that attention efficiently among the overabundance of information sources that might consume it.”
1/ "Our imagination is limited only by our knowledge of history. So, knowing the fullest possible range of what has gone wrong before makes us better prepared for what might go wrong again in the future."
~TJOC
A thread on some great history books I read in the last few months.
2/ John Train recounts many historic examples of human folly and greed over the past few centuries.
3/ This book shares a comprehensive look at financial crises through eight centuries of banking panics, currency crashes, hyperinflation, and government defaults on international and domestic debts―as well as the cycles in housing and equity prices, capital flows, & unemployment.
1/ This is value investing GOLD. A compilation of 75 best business and investment lessons from Mark Leonard, Constellation Software’s President. I am sharing some of my favorite points in this thread:
2/ "Our favourite single metric for measuring our corporate performance is the sum of ROIC and Organic Net Revenue Growth (“ROIC+OGr”), (…) which represents the annual increase in Shareholders’ value."
3/ "Part of a perpetual owner’s job, is to make sure that energetic, intelligent and ethical general managers (“GM”) are running their businesses and that the GM’s are incented to enhance shareholder value over the very long term."
1/ Pleased to share the preview of my life's biggest learnings. The principles emphasized throughout the book power the lifelong compounding journey of a value investor
The kick-off quotes at the beginning of the individual chapters convey their underlying key message to readers
2/ “Compound interest,” Albert Einstein reputedly said, “is the most powerful force in the universe.”
So what happens when you apply such an incredible power to knowledge building?
You become a learning machine.
3/ The way to achieve success in life is to learn constantly. And the best way to learn is to read, and to do so "effectively."
