Highly value additive ➕
An essential building block for successful investing is questioning one’s own point of view. For this, the exchange with good people is essential. With the community, a network has emerged that covers precisely this aspect and thus delivers high added value.
The community is the best I have joined so far. There is an open, honest exchange about companies, investment ideas and strategies. Ever since I started investing 15 years ago, I’ve been looking for a home to have high-level discussions. With Good Investing I found it!
Exchanging ideas with other fundamentally oriented investors gives motivation and great suggestions. Good Investing brings together a lot of really good investors and is, therefore, a really good community for me.
