- Professor Bruce Greenwald is the Founding Director of the Heilbrunn Center for Graham and Dodd Investing at Columbia Business School. Described by the New York Times as "a guru to Wall Street's gurus," Prof. Greenwald is a leading voice in value investing.
I remember reading Bruce Greenwald's work.
He still hasn't revisit/retracted some of his most famous takes:

Quote:Amazon’s Business Is ‘Disappearing,’ Columbia’s Greenwald Says (2011)
“Amazon trading at 100 times earnings is almost a joke,”

Quote:Bruce Greenwald: Apple is Risky Business (2013)
“The problem is that this profit machine, we know is going away,”
All due respect to Greenwald an accomplished academic; this is just for context of viewers that may not be familiar with his past works and takes.
Well, I reckon life couldn't be too unsmooth when you find yourself in the same picture with Pretty Woman's savior and also a supermodel that most guys grew up dreaming about.
Personally, I think the greatest lesson I take from Li Lu - is his willingness to accept reality for what it is, and not force his version of ideality onto the former.
No other investor has a life story quite as unbelievable as Li Lu
