About ryansmccoy
You must force yourself to consider arguments on the other side.”
— Charlie Munger
"Be skeptical, very skeptical, and even more skeptical. Great Analysts rarely accept anything at face value... Good Analysts always challenge what they've been told or given.Over time, if a source of information proves accurate, let it into your circle or trust...If we include the financial press, and everything distributed by companies, I'd say at least 75% of the information out there for consumption is misleading or omits an important piece of information relative to the topic."
- James Valentine, Former Morgan Stanley Analyst
