Honesty and integrity are very important in the investment world. That's why I am breaking the anonymity. You have the right to know who I am. In this article I tell you about my investment path, and how I got to quality investing and you learn who I am as a person.
Pieter. Thanks for this. Personally, I was not expecting nor needing to put a name and face behind this Substack. One just have to read a couple of your pieces to know someone serious
and knowledgeable is behind it, and there can be many valid reasons for keeping it anonymous. Yet, your gesture of openness and transparency is appreciated and speaks the world of who you are. Great to know you and your story.
Thanks … you are an educated, focused investor with the intelligence to distinguish signal from noise. Congratulations on your well earned success! We appreciate that you teach eloquently.
Congrats!!! I always enjoy reading you. As someone said in another comment, I will loved to be able to start invensting being young. Won't happen to my son. I'm a phisycian so investing is not my natural field. What did you study after high school? Thank you for your time and effort! It's remarkable!
It's a true honor! I studied Financial Management. The sooner your son starts investing, the better. The fact that you are interested will already put him ahead. :)
Pieter, really inspiring story I am 21 now I started investing when I was 18, I have made plenty of different mistakes and learned along the way. Just decided to share my journey as you did thanks for the motivation !!
Pieter _ thanks for filling in the blanks. I really appreciate the knowledge and resources that you provide. I only wish that I had discovered a source like yours 40 years ago...well actually I did, Warren Buffet, but his knowledge was not nearly as readily accessible on a regular basis and it took me nearly 15 years to have the faith and access to start buying B-shares. Keep up the great work!
Thanks for sharing story of your life journey so far. Wish you all the best and I am sure you will be very successful with your passion for investing and being honest about everything you do. Take care.
Laten we daar eens werk van maken! Het probleem is tijd. Voorlopig is het verschrikkelijk druk. Volgende maand komt het boek uit en daarna op naar Omaha voor de aandeelhoudersvergarding van Warren Buffett :)
Good day Pieter ... On a paid subscription ... Do you specify when to sell a stock you recommended in the past picks .... Thank you .... Corrado Battista
Absolutley! I always communicate about every transaction before I execute it. This allows you to execute the transaction at the same time (or before) I do.
Thanks for sharing Pieter and happy to be on this journey with you. Lots of value inside your writings and the Compounding Quality community on Slack is incredibly kind and generous!
Impressive read! Hats off for being so honest and humble 🙂
It defintely helps, Hamish! Let's try to catch up soon. :)

It's a true honor, CCS! Honesty and integrity are very important. Especially in the finance field. I felt like you had the right to know who I am. :)

Sounds like a great journey, Carlos! You're still young and you have plenty of time to let the magic of compounding work for you!

Hi Pieter, wanneer kunnen we eens gaan lunchen in Antwerpen ? Stock market, Charlie Munger, Daniel Kahnemann, genoeg topics om te bespreken ;)
Dag George,

Hi Corrado,
Absolutley! I always communicate about every transaction before I execute it. This allows you to execute the transaction at the same time (or before) I do.
What a great act of transparency, Chris Quinn (your old fake name I assume) - now Peter Siegel. Now change your picture and keep posting WB quotes
For sure. It's an honor to have you!
Terrific - great to read the background to CQ :-)
It's a true honor, Matthew! Blessed to have a reader like you. :)

How long have you been doing this and at what point did you switch to full time?
How long have I been doing this:
- Investing: 14 years
- Compounding Quality full time: since September last year
I love to genuinely help other people and doing the right thing. That's the essence of Compounding Quality
Awesome, thanks
