TDI Podcast: Soul in The Game (#773)

Vitaliy Katsenelson is this week's guest. We talk about the essence of life and how to gain purpose and meaning. New book alert! Soul in the game... Vitaliy Katsenelson was born and raised in Murmansk, Russia (the home for Russia‘s northern navy fleet, think Tom Clancy‘s Red October). Immigrated to the US from Russia in 1991 with all his family three brothers, father, and stepmother. His professional career is easily described in one sentence: He invests, He educates, he writes, and he could not dream of doing anything else. He is Chief Investment Officer at Investment Management Associates, Inc (IMA), a value investment firm based in Denver, Colorado. After he received his graduate and undergraduate degrees in finance (cum laude) from the University of Colorado at Denver, and finished his CFA designation, he wanted to keep learning. He figured the best way to learn is to teach. At first, he taught an undergraduate class at the University of Colorado at Denver and later a graduate investment class at the same university that he designed based on his day job. He found that the university classroom was not big enough, so he started writing. He writes a monthly column for Institutional Investor Magazine and he has written articles for the Financial Times, Barron‘s, BusinessWeek, Christian Science Monitor, New York Post, and the list goes on. He was profiled in Barron‘s, and has been interviewed by Value Investor Insight, Welling@Weeden, BusinessWeek, BNN, CNBC, and countless radio shows. Vitaliy has authored the Little Book of Sideways Markets (Wiley, 2010) and Active Value Investing (Wiley, 2007), and Soul In the Game. Follow @vitaliyk Looking for style diversification?
