Posts like this are part of my journey to learn, network & connect with experienced professionals like yourself who have valuable insights to share.I also want to apologize for the late response—it’s been a busy few days, but I didn’t want to miss the chance to thank you for your input.Looking forward to learning & growing in this space & who knows, maybe one day I’ll be offering you in on an investment idea or I'll be the one offering advice to new investors!
