Over the past twenty years, I’ve given talks on investing, primarily centered on my books, to CFA Societies world wide, from South Africa to New Zealand to Sofia, Bulgaria, and India in January of this 12 months (you may watch that discuss right here). As a CFA, I really like speaking to fellow CFAs; all of us share a typical reminiscence of the ache of three torturous years of getting ready for and taking the CFA examination. A number of weeks in the past I used to be requested to talk to the CFA Affiliation of Russia about my most up-to-date e-book. Right here is my reply: A 12 months and a half in the past, I might have eagerly taken the chance to talk to your members, particularly since my e-book Soul within the Recreation has been translated into Russian. Nonetheless, right this moment, my coronary heart is breaking as I witness what is going on in Ukraine. To provide a presentation to your members with out addressing the atrocities occurring there can be just like giving a presentation in Berlin in 1942 and never mentioning the tens of millions of individuals being killed by the Nazis within the Soviet Union. Except I can even talk about the horrors of the warfare, which I’m positive you wouldn’t need me to do, I can’t deliver myself to talk to your members.  Join my free weekly e mail publication https://vitaliy.substack.com/  Take a look at my weekly podcast, The Mental Investor. https://investor.fm/  GET MY BOOKS Soul within the Recreation – https://tinyurl.com/yzh486ep The Little Ebook of Sideways Markets – https://tinyurl.com/4sdbr5f2 Energetic Worth Investing – https://tinyurl.com/ywfczy8u MY KEY LINKS  My web site/weblog – https://contrarianedge.com/  Enterprise Web site – https://imausa.com/  Twitter – https://twitter.com/vitaliyk  Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/vitaliyk/
