I joined the seminar because I had struggled to find a way to meaningfully understand the financials of companies and to assess their\u00a0true\u00a0value. My ignorance in this respect had become a barrier to going deeper with my investments. I was drawn to value investing because it closely paralleled my outlook on life. The value investing seminar was exactly what I needed! I left the course feeling like I had new wings! (i.e., an approach for understanding companies that I had always been looking for.) Thank you Dr. Athanassakos for sharing your extensive work with us in an engaging and practical way.\u00a0 Thank you again for everything. The course was well worth the wait.\u201d<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #b3a84f;\">-Andrew Brown, Principal <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #b3a84f;\">A.R.B. Law<br \/>\nToronto, ON, Canada<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]\u201cProfessor Athanassakos has done a remarkable job at boiling down the value investing principles into a methodology for investing. He has developed a system that can be learned and replicated. The course is not a walk in the park and the student must come prepared for a lot of work. Whether you are an individual investor, a professional money manager, or someone who has no experience investing, this course will teach you the complete value investing methodology, from theory to practice, by understanding how to identify undervalued stocks that will give you a \u201cMargin of Safety\u201d, when to buy and, when to sell. This is the complete system boiled down into a week\u2019s course. I cannot recommend this course enough and feel honored to have been part of it.\u201d<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #b3a84f;\">-Alfonso Garcia de la Parra, Individual Investor<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #b3a84f;\">Kelowna, BC, Canada<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]\u201cThe seminar was everything I thought it would be, being able to spend 5 days with George, was truly a pleasure.

I was amazed by George\u2019s systematic approach to using the NAV, EPV, ROIC-1, ROIC-2 and ROIC-3. I will definitely use the method for valuing companies in the future.&#8221;<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #b3a84f;\">-Ulf Geerds, President<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #b3a84f;\">CVG Management Inc.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #b3a84f;\">Calgary, AB, Canada<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]\u201cIt was a great class and a privilege to learn from Dr. Athanassakos.\u201d<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #b3a84f;\">-Jeffrey Hamm, Portfolio Manager<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #b3a84f;\">Van Biema Value Partners, LLC<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #b3a84f;\">New York, NY, USA<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]\u201cIt was a great week!\u201d<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #b3a84f;\">-Janie Healey, Associate, Fundamental Equities<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #b3a84f;\">Alberta Investment Management Corporation<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #b3a84f;\">Edmonton, AB, Canada<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]\u201cProfessor Athanassakos does a great job presenting practical investing knowledge while teaching an invaluable and fully comprehensive approach to value investing and valuation.
