Hi all, pretty new to SI + was hoping to get a bit of a poll going on which method of education you would choose if you could do either three of these routes. (A brief background: built up a good pot of cash to invest, read many value investing books, but not seriously got into it yet - but I want to begin on a part-time basis now)


Which one would really help the most with advancing your ability as a value investor? The CFA looks like it covers all areas, but is heavy on areas that very successful value investors frown upon (EMT, CAPM, etc.). Columbia Business School offer a dedicated value investing course (when accompanied by an MBA) - is this something that could be beneficial? Or pure self-education - reading books and growing your own ability (which I know can be done alongside the other two routes, but as a method of 'pure' study on its own). What do you think?


1) CFA
2) Columbia Business School
3) Pure Self-Education


...and why?
