The first “teacher” who comes to mind for me is the market itself — strict, unpredictable, but always teaching. My favourite “stock teacher” would be Howard Marks. His memos are timeless lessons in risk, cycles, and humility. I’d recommend him to anyone who wants to learn how to think, not just what to buy.

A note of thanks: to every mentor (human or book) who reminded me that patience often pays better than speed, and that protecting capital is the real test of skill. The market may hand out harsh grades, but thanks to good teachers, at least we’re better prepared for the exam.

🎉 Teacher’s Day Special: Which Teacher Left the Deepest Impression on You?
In Singapore, Teacher’s Day falls on September 5, while in China, we celebrate it on September 10. 👩‍🏫👨‍🏫 A teacher isn’t just someone in the classroom — they can also be a friend, a parent, a stranger on the internet, or even an AI that suddenly appeared — like GPT or DeepSeek. As long as they bring us growth and inspiration, they can be considered our “teacher.” On this special day, which teacher comes to mind first? Who is your favorite “stock teacher”? Would you recommend them to others? Do you have a message of thanks you’d like to share with your teacher?

    Markets teach humility best, and Marks’ cycles lessons? Saved me from costly mistakes.
