But quality often matters *more*.
Especially in the long run.

Brian explains why the book has an entire section devoted to financial advisors:

- Are their incentives aligned with ours, etc.
The book will be out in about a month.

My friend @Gautam__Baid (and author of the excellent book, The Joys of Compounding) is launching a new Chapter.
It's called "Qualitative Investing And Fund Management".
Through this, Gautam wants to educate folks about important investing concepts.
A short thread: 👇👇👇
So, what's a "Chapter"?
It's a 4-week online course.
Once you enroll, you're given a curated set of resources that'll help you learn the basics of a subject over 4 weeks.
These resources are usually available for free online -- articles, blog posts, YouTube videos, etc.
Plus, you get access to an instructor (here, Gautam Baid). He shares his insights with you, you get to ask him questions, etc. -- through an online forum.
And you can also use this forum to interact with fellow course takers.
