Hello Mr. Covel,

Having passed the CPA exam last year, I subscribed to the Wall Street Journal and found your podcast recently. As instructed on your podcast, I am emailing you because I would love any material for new investors that could help me grow and develop past the buy and hold phase I am currently in and learn to become a capable, active investor.

Love the podcast and appreciate your passion and content.

Sincerely,
