Content provided and investing ideas were too good. But too long a time with multiple presentations, some of the contents were Cliche. I would prefer straight presentations to reduce time spent. Data shown may relate to current period like 2022 to 2026 more relevant. Options trading had so much number crunching that unless one does it, it is difficult to understand in a short time.

the information and insight with great examples - also great value for the $

A very intense seminar that moves very quickly. A longer period of time to prepare (more than a day) and forehand knowledge of topics would have given a better opportunity to keep up with the lecture and breakout sessions.

Wow, a “firehose” of information (John and Roxy’s description)! How to realistically absorb - and put into practice - all of that information? Another book? Thanks for your generosity - and a wonderful weekend of learning!

I gained a lot of insight on how to value a business. I also came to understand myself better as an investor as I became more aware of my strengths and weaknesses. My only issue is that a considerable portion of the workshop is devoted to options trading. I am only interested in learning how to value a business and understanding how markets work. Options trading, on the other hand, is short-term and like gambling. Again, I learned a lot and it was a worthwhile experience. If we had ignored options trading to go even deeper into business valuations, I would have given this workshop a perfect score.

lots to learn. lots of information. be humble. don't get discourage. no one gets it 100% first time or else you wouldn't be here in the first place. drink at whatever pace you can. it is a journey, not a race. it was so good, i went twice. one in toronto and one in altanta.
