What would be your recommendations for learning material to someone starting out?
I do agree with the idea of that real world experience will always be the best teacher. As long as you don't lose all of your capital, throwing yourself in with the sharks could be the best, and quickest teacher. And yes, analysis paralysis is a real thing. However, if you were to recommend a top 3 of learning material you wish you had when starting out, what would it be? It could be a book on deal analysis, proper investor mindset, an internet figure who gives out great knowledge, a legitimate course. Whatever.
