Oh my god ! I am so glad I found you. I was seriously looking for guidance in terms of Japan and the value investing scene here. Is there any social media where I could follow you ? (If you are comfortable sharing, if you add that info in your about me information, I am sure you would get a lot of followers. Although I am not sure whether that would be a wise choice. )
ReplyDeleteI am planning to read the books you mentioned here, if I had your contact, after finishing the books, I would love to do a short conversation with you (Zoom or Physical or just a short message on sns) about the books. Opportunity cost-wise, I can only offer to buy you coffee.
Hi.
DeleteNo not at social media and not planning to join.
I reckon you are based in Japan. I am not and thus meeting will be difficult.
You can contact me per email through the contact form and
I will happily reply.
Hi there,
