Mark has been that history professor in my life. His teachings have not only helped me immensely through my CFA prep but have also turned me into a better thinking individual. One of the best teachers I have had the fortune to study under. I can never get enough of Mark. I am an absolute fanboy lol. Thanks AJ for organizing this talk.
I'm a CFA Charterholder because of Mark. But I still check his you tube channel for content on investment strategies etc. I would actually pay to get an investment newsletter from Mark each month, and I'm in the investment industry where I get free access to a lot of them.. If you're a CFA candidate, or planning on taking the CFA exam, MARK IS THE BEST!! He's on a different level.
I would love to pay to have Mark Meldrum’s podcasts and a Mark Meldrum’s trading academy. I believe the value Mark Meldrum can deliver goes way beyond the already huge value given through the CFA program prep material.
I really want to cry 😭 finally I took a closer look at my greatest example ❤️❤️❤️ Dr. Mark don't know how much I admire him!!! I can't describe how much I am thankful for you AJ! The most video I have ever entertained while watching ❤️❤️❤️
This man is a genius. It’s amazing to me how you can be surrounded by people who aren’t critical or thorough thinkers and in turn you actually may believe that you’re ‘one of them’. But when you come across someone who is as intelligent as he is educated, you’re reminded that you aren’t alone in how you process information and practically apply it.
One of the best story tellers and knowledgeable speakers I've listened too. Favourite quote from the video 55:13 I grew up in the southern Ontario where Mark taught and he is a huge inspiration to me. Thanks AJ for sharing this
Thanks for this great stuff AJ. Mark, a great personality. My CFA journey started with Mark's free videos on TH-cam. They are absolutely great! When he moved to site I didn't even give a second thought to pay for it. Every penny is worth there - subject videos, review videos, practice questions, mock exams and finally Applied market series. He is a great teacher/individual who knows what, when and how to deliver, sometimes fun included. Would love to meet him in person. He says he's gonna "dump all videos on TH-cam when it's over" is one of the best of best decision in my opinion. Cheers!
Spent the first 10 mins trying to calm down,some surreal stuff my two favourite people 😃😇.. I sat for Level 2 last month after four demotivating deferrals,not going to pass been a tough time but we continue grinding. GOD bless Mark and AJ
Disruptors of the industry come from outside the industry, here we go. I started CFA just fun, Mark's course hooked me, his perspective on the content is a value add, I proudly say he is my professor. The best !! Period.
Sincerely thanks for this interview! I couldn't belive my eyes when I've seen this collaboration. Even after failing lvl 1 exam due to lost interest to finance (maybe will study again in few years), I still enjoy watching Mark's videos related to market overview. Adam, I would really like seeing some long videos with market analysis on this channel too, if possible. Thank you again for the great content. 👍
I'm level 3 candidate, paid for Dr. Mark Meldrum services this time (never had providers per say before). I just sat for the test this November 2021. All I can say is, pass or fail, Dr Merldrum offers one the most outstanding CFA related teachings out there. Dr. Meldrum, thank you.
Loved this interview, really appreciate Mark sir for taking out the time and doing this, extremely humble of him. It's a complete no brainer decision for anyone sitting for the CFA exam, his content is way more than simply getting you through the exam, much more practical and intuitive, be it theory or calculations. His videos are the best investment decision one can make, hell it's even worth it even if you're not doing CFA but are a finance enthusiast, I believer there are many subscribers who aren't doing CFA but are there simply because of his content, impeccable quality and worth every CAD.
Absolutely enriching. Inputs from both the sides were so good to listen to. Looking forward to more such interviews AJ. Didn't know how quickly time passed. Keep it up man!
Such a gold conversation. Make navigated highly contentious topics (politics) very gracefully. It shows he's thought about these topics very deeply Thanks for having him on AJ, I hope you can get him on again in a few months
This is by far the best interaction I have witnessed online. It goes to show the level of analysis and thought process a CFA can bring to the table. MM is a legend in this space. More interactions like these will certainly spice things up. Thanks AJ
Such a wonderful interview. I always like Mark because he goes to the root of the topics and gives a very deep understanding of stuff. Such a great guy!
Hi AJ, First off, thanks a lot for setting up this amazing interview. Loved every single word spoken by Mark. One thing, people have short span of time these days. For his words to reach out to more audience I would suggest creating shorter videos of 10-15min. Specially the one where he talks about political views being right, left or centre. Thanks.
Thanks AJ and Mark! Great discussion across so many issues. Mark I look forward to more centrist discussion around social issues from you on TH-cam, we are in a time when we need reason and compromise to prevail. Thanks guys and good work.
AJ! You're the man. Thanks so much doing this. Having followed both you & the legend himself for a while now, I have always been wanting to know more about Mark. He's a mysterious guy and no one really knew a thing about him or his story. So awesome you were able to get this done. Coolest CFA until I get mine ;)
Wow…great content as usual. What do you think the demand would be for a dinner with Dr mark with the proceeds going to charity? I would start the bidding….
Thank you! It was a lovely interview. I liked the wide range of topics covered. I wish you had asked Mark his views about climate change and its impact on the finance industry and also implications of capitalism on this issue. I am curious to know his capitalistic point of view regarding this.
Is the "Canadian securities course" or any other university course available online and accessible anywhere ? He is truly an incredible lecturer DR Meldrum. Thanks AJ Srmek as well.... Very interesting channel. Well done!
Seeing a trend where anyone who talks bad about the Tates in the SLIGHTEST are immediately targeted by Tate or his people (like Justin Waller). A celebrity mentions something bad about them, then tates network will make a short about that person..
I’m 25. I goofed off as a young man and now I’ve found my passion for finance. I found a company called financial edge who I think has great material on portfolio management, FIG banking, investment banking, private equity and more. I’m debating whether or not I should go back to school. I’m thinking about just taking those courses and studying under mark meldrum. What advice would you have for me? Oh and for context I want to start my own hedge fund. But my plans are to get that 65 so I can manage my client’s portfolios and charge a fee. The hedge fund is important but while I want to be trading equities and options I want to be actively involved in private equity as well. Is the ‘college’ model outdated and can I just study and self develop my way to success? Or would you recommend a bachelors, then CFA, etc?
If you want to start your own venture, Financial Edge for education and MM for CFA prep is a great strategy. I don't think you NEED traditional college.
Hey! Great interview. I actually watched the whole thing. I owe my CFA designation to Dr Meldrum no doubt. The thought experiment about wealth inequality was super interesting and on point. I’d like to submit another one if I may. All else equal, 2 parallel universe where Dr Meldrum is exactly the same. Went through the same upbringing etc. The difference is one version of Dr Meldrum is black and the other one is white. Do both end up at the same place? 🤗
This is golden! Thanks a bunch AJ. Hope to see more collaborations or exciting content such as this
Happy to do it!
It feels weird not listening to him at 1.5x speed. Great interview!
Lol true.
I automatically put this video on the usual speed i follow Mark with x2
😂😂😂😂

HI, which newsletter is you talking about? i would like to subscribe too
Our CFA guru, but more, Mr Mark is a true compassionate capitalist. Enjoyed the video. Many thanks!
Seriously one of the best podcasts ive ever heard, mark is a gem to humanity
Thank you!!!
I would love to pay to have Mark Meldrum’s podcasts and a Mark Meldrum’s trading academy. I believe the value Mark Meldrum can deliver goes way beyond the already huge value given through the CFA program prep material.
Most of his videos are already free.
@@raymeester7883 I know some videos are for free, still I would be happy to pay for more
The man, the myth, the legend. Mark leaving his mark as always.
The man, the myth, the legend. Mark's mannerisms are so much like my own father's that it was like listening to my own father with a Canadian accent.
I really want to cry 😭 finally I took a closer look at my greatest example ❤️❤️❤️
Dr. Mark don't know how much I admire him!!!
I can't describe how much I am thankful for you AJ!
The most video I have ever entertained while watching ❤️❤️❤️
Glad you enjoyed it man!
Im 2 years late over here but I gotta say this is a really good interview. Fan of both of you!
Thanks!
love MM, even though I may not agree with everything, he presents such clear and rational arguments for all his content.
This man is a genius. It’s amazing to me how you can be surrounded by people who aren’t critical or thorough thinkers and in turn you actually may believe that you’re ‘one of them’.
But when you come across someone who is as intelligent as he is educated, you’re reminded that you aren’t alone in how you process information and practically apply it.
This was an extremely generous interview.
Thank you, Mark Meldrum.
I really appreciate everything he has done for the community. His CFA content is hands down the absolute best and he is really humble.

Mark is one of my favourite ppl. Never get tired of watching his videos.
Mark Meldrum is an outstanding provider.based on quality and price.
worth every minute
Thanks for the support!
For many of us, this man talks to us more than most a few hours a day haha thank you for the products
When I considered taking the CFA, Mark was at the top of my list for study programs! Great interview.
Two of my favorite people in one frame ! Amazing !
Haha thank you thank you.
I have such deep respect for this man, it hurt when he shared about losing his dog.
1 on 1 with Dr. Mark Meldrum...Life lessons...chapeaux, AJ Srmek !
thanks!
Mark is a special man
Spent the first 10 mins trying to calm down,some surreal stuff my two favourite people 😃😇..

Haha thanks man. Best of luck studying for L2.
MM's materials are solid. worth every penny.
What an Interview! And it took me almost a year postponing it until I finally watch it.
Very good! Congratulations to both AJ and MM.
What an awesome guy. Very inspirational.

I'm not planning on getting the CFA, I just enroll in MM's prep for learning. It's incredibly good.
Absolutely inspired and motivated by Professor Meldrum.
MM has wisdom! good interview!!!
I used Mark's videos to pass the Canadian Securities Course a few years ago (those vids were on YT but not anymore). Good interview!
I didn't know he did that! Cool to hear.
Great interview! It was good to get to know Mark's points of view on subjects other than the CFA. Thanks for this video, AJ!
Happy to do it!
What a wise man!
Best interview ever
14:15 Mark has been one of these people for me.
Both of you are such a blessing, God bless!
God bless you!
fav podcast

He is the real deal. Used his stuff in 2017-18 when he was just starting
What a way to start a Monday!
Thanks alot for doing this
Happy to do it!
Pls Mark do a potcast!
Best video of the year :) Thank you both for educational content :)
Wow, thanks!
Glad I was subscribed so I could watch this video asap. This was a great interview.
Thanks for being subscribed!
By far my favourite professor at Sheridan
Great interview

Enjoying his content!
Great video guys, thanks

Ah excellent. A LEGEND

absolutely love the applied series
Is the "Canadian securities course" or any other university course available online and accessible anywhere ? He is truly an incredible lecturer DR Meldrum. Thanks AJ Srmek as well.... Very interesting channel. Well done!
I don't think they are available online.
@@straighttalks-ajsrmek323 I have found an Options course and a Management Accounting course. Check it from the TH-cam playlist (FYI only :) )Thanks.
almost 3 hours long? Who else felt the need to watch this at 1.5x speed? Great stuff, though. MM is the GOAT.
I beleive you can!

Anyone knows where we can find Canadian Securities Course videos by Mark ?
He may have removed them from his TH-cam channel once he started to focus on CFA content.
Yes!
