Founder of Classic Value Investors, Mariusz Skonieczny.

Mariusz Skonieczny is also the Founder of MicroCap Explosions and creator of Value Investing University. 

Mariusz has authored 11 books on the subject of investing. MicroCap Explosions is a private membership website where he shares his investment ideas with the members. He is a professional investor meaning that he makes most of his money from investing his own money. He makes a little bit of money from books and MicroCap Explosions but this is nothing compared to the money that he makes in investing.

Mariusz graduated from Indiana University in 2003 with a finance degree. From 2003 to 2008, he was in the commercial real estate industry as an appraiser and broker. During the 2008 and 2009 financial crisis, he left the industry to start Classic Value Investors.

In 2009, he started with $10,000. In 2019, his account reached $1.1 million. Coronavirus knocked it down to $500,000. So from 2009 to 2019, his investment return was about 100x. By March of 2021, his account reached $4 million so that makes it 400x. Mariusz doesn’t really know how this compares to the Dow or S&P because he doesn’t look at them. By not comparing himself to the indexes helps him stay focused on his own investments.

Mariusz shared about:

• The secret weapon on how to make money with certain stocks which most people are not doing.
• His unique investing methods.
• His motivational and very inspiring life story.
