Growing up, Donald had always been interested in business. One year, he received the book The Warren Buffett Way for Christmas. This was Donald’s introduction to the world of value investing and, to him, it simply just made sense. Buy a business at a margin of safety to what it is intrinsically worth. It was a simple concept that stuck with Donald and motivates him as a value investor each day.
