Jeremy Deal is the founder of JDP Capital Management. JDP is a private partnership that makes investments in public stocks where the quality and durability of future earnings power is not reflected in the price. The fund's goal is to buy and hold a handful of businesses that can survive and thrive over long periods of time. www.jdpcap.com Today, my guest shares his unique investing journey. Although he is a professional investor, he had never worked at an investment firm before launching his own private partnership. Jeremy tells me about the importance of independent thinking and the right environment to work in. We talk about the benefits of being an outsider. Stay tuned until the end, when my guest shares an anecdote and a lesson about investing as an emotional game and explains what it takes to develop and keep your conviction behind investment ideas. Last but not least, we discuss the value of having a community, a network of like-minded yet very different individuals in your professional life. Please help me welcome a dear friend and fellow VALUEx’er, Jeremy Deal.
