I’ve been an avid reader of Sean’s articles for many years. Sean and his team have a very thoughtful way of presenting sometimes not so intuitive or easy investment concepts. Sean together with Todd Wenning have been regularly sharing their experience and knowledge through writing. I highly recommend checking the episode notes for links, and looking up their work and articles.
