“The Value Investing Seminar was an incredibly rewarding experience. Dr. Athanassakos’ deep knowledge and passion for value investing made every session engaging and thought-provoking. I walked away with a much clearer understanding of intrinsic value, margin of safety, and how to approach investing with discipline and patience. The opportunity to learn alongside such insightful and motivated participants made the experience even more meaningful. I left the seminar with both a stronger foundation as an investor and a renewed appreciation for the timeless principles of Ben Graham and Warren Buffett.”

“Having already been familiar with the principles of value investing, attending the seminar deepened my understanding, provided a more structured framework for applying them with confidence, and reminded me why this philosophy continues to endure over time. Professor Athanassakos has an exceptional way of teaching with both academic rigor and enthusiasm for value investing. Even the seemingly well-known concepts felt new and insightful through the case studies, discussions, and real-life examples. Beyond the numbers, the seminar reinforced that value investing is not just a set of analytical tools, but a mindset—one characterized by patience, consistency, and discipline when investing in businesses. It is ultimately a way of thinking and, in many ways, a way of living.”
