Is it just me, or is value investing really lonely?

I’ve been doing deep value investing for the past 5 years (mostly UK small/micro-caps), and while I love the work, I’ve found it surprisingly hard to meet other people who approach investing the same way - especially in London.

I’ve read 100+ books, run my own site ([Contrarian Stocks](https://contrarianstocks.com/)), been to investor meetings... but it’s still mostly me hunched over a laptop at midnight with 20 tabs open, skimming annual reports, investor decks and listening to management presentations in the background.

I’m looking to meet people IN-PERSON (no more online bs!) who *enjoy* reading filings, challenging investment theses and having honest, critical conversations about companies.

It may be useful to add that lately I’ve been trying to build a small in-person group of such investors in London. We’ve had a few hedge fund analysts, PE associates and serious independents join. It’s not about networking or career stuff -just sharpening each other through discussion, like a proper investing dojo.

If you’re London-based and really into this style of "value" investing, I’d love to hear from you. Let's meet for coffee and talk.
**Or if you want to join the group DM me and I’ll explain how we’re selecting members.**
*(Or if you’re really interested, go through my older posts.)*
