This Value Investing thread was apparently born in November '96: a looong time ago... So, just out of curiosity, I have a couple question for the regulars who have been posting here for a substantial while:
1. How and when did you discover (Value) Investing as a discipline and what was your first impression of it?
2. How has your investment style changed over the years and who and/or what influenced you the most?
3. If there was one piece of (investment) advise you could give to your younger self, what would it be?
My answers:

1. It was really all one giant coincidence: I have zero background in finance; in the Netherlands there is no investment culture for individual investors as pension funds do all the work; Value Investing has traditionally been an American affair so there is some geographical component; in the Netherlands investing is deemed "too risky", while the value of securities is all "smoke and mirrors" (ouch!). Bottom line: the discipline is just incredibly niche here.
Anyway, the first investing book I have ever read was The Intelligent Investor, but did not think the most of it. The ideas and consequences of them as expounded in the book did sound very reasonable, but I just found it to qualitative a work and could not do anything with the knowledge.This was 3 years ago. After a while a started doing more and more research on finance and investing in general until I stumbled upon Greenblatt's You Can Be A Stock Market Genius, which brought me exactly what I needed: examples. Since then I have been discovering new value investors with each having their own style while improving myself in the area of security analysis and financial history. A whole world opened up to me...

2. I have not been doing this for long enough as to have developed my own style, let alone to have been able to perceive well-defined changes.

3. Start early and read You Can Be A Stock Market Genius and Security Analysis.
