I ran an independent RIA. Nothing I say is investment advice. Author of The Investor’s Journal

I switched careers and became a financial advisor. Started my own solo-RIA focussed on financial planning and investment management. I ran it for 12 years and recently shut it down. If you are thinking of a similar route I'm happy to answer questions.

@majgeoinvesting @MicrocapDr @GeoInvesting This was such a great session. Learned a ton. Interesting company

@majgeoinvesting As a counterpoint, I think it is naive for the Its Not A Bubble crowd to not entertain the idea that markets do drop from time to time. Sometimes significantly. As demonstrated by… history?

@chitchatstocks Revenue goes up first. Then margins

@AKWilk @BillAckman What was the line?

@ToddWenning The headlines feel almost exactly like the internet boom. I think it’s unsettling

@ramit @egr_investor @Zub79 I think it depends a lot on how much you pay. I was an advisor for years. I had a little speech “I charge a premium price to manage your assets. You will certainly keep more money if you do it yourself. But if you think you WON’T do it yourself you may be better off paying me”

@TreyHenninger I noticed this in my early investing. I was “value” oriented but noticed that some of the companies went on to perform well even after they were fully valued. Opened my eye to the importance of the business quality and endurance

@investwithwes1 The corollary is that its ok to have a large portfolio…

@realLigerCub Fingers crossed

@dougboneparth I suspect I’m higher than 50% odds that I’m screwing something up

[Brian McCann @Bootstrap68]

@dougboneparth Except you actually have no idea what those percentages are
