I guess, I'm asking, were you formally trained in stock analysis and investing or was everything self taught with Grahm as a foundation and did you have a long proven track record prior to doing it for a living?

I was a software engineer/manager. I just read all the books I could.

Can you please expand on how you got so good at stocks? It would be nice reading. I'm trying to become good at stocks as well... by reading as much as I can.

But if I draw an analogy to my poker learning. If I would have to do it all by myself, without coaches and without twoplustwo, only reading all I could, I don't think I would have become especially good at poker. I needed personal feedback to become really successful.

That's why I have doubt about my own stock learning... from books only.

Maybe you can tell more about your story and also give our perspective on my situation.
