Hi Gary, I finally got around to reading your book after following this channel for several years, and I could not put it down from start to finish. Keep fighting the good fight. Huge respect for your story and what you are trying to achieve. Love your style. From a fellow UK lad, just trying to get on the housing ladder (at the ripe old age of 39!). To anyone who has not yet read "Trading Game" - do it, you won't be disappointed if you are a fan of this channel. I wish I had done it sooner!

Funny how the wage price spiral is a concern, while the asset price spiral is ignored.

As an investment banker, never have I ever seen someone explain cost of capital so well and so simply. Amazing Gary, thank you.

Ok, but has anyone noticed the “No-Face” hoodie? An economics genius AND a Ghibli fan? Gary is indeed a remarkable human being. Too bad I bought commodities in peak… 😢
