Charlie started GuruFocus during the Christmas holiday of 2004 to share what I’d learned.
Over the course of its existence, Charlie collected an enormous amount of data from financial gurus as well as his loyal customers and data providers.
Out of this sheer data, he was not only able to provide a potent investing idea-generating machine, but also some key investing lessons.
The result is his new book: Invest Like a Guru (Wiley)
