I’m an extremely, extremely persistent person. Extremely. And when I believe I am right, and it is important, I will go to the end of the earth.

I love what I do. I don’t do it for the money. I work on behalf of investors that I like and want to do well for. I’m a competitive person.

I’m not emotional about investments. Investing is something where you have to be purely rational, and not let emotion affect your decision making – just the facts.

If I believe that I am right, I will take it to the end of the earth until I am proven right.
