    When I first ventured into the world of stock investing, the prevailing attitude, especially in my family, was one of distrust. The stock market was seen as a place where people lost money, not made it. However, my perspective changed dramatically when I took up a job as a caddy at a golf course. Listening to the conversations of the presidents and CEOs I caddied for, I began to realize that the positive stories about the stock market far outweighed the negative ones. My journey into investing started in 1963 when I bought my first stock, an airfreight company, for $7 per share. As America went to war, the stock price skyrocketed, and I made a significant profit. This early success was a pivotal moment, showing me that with the right approach, investing could be highly rewarding. During my time at Boston College, I studied a variety of subjects, including history, psychology, and philosophy. While these may seem unrelated to finance, they actually provided a solid foundation for my future in investing. As I often say, "All the math you need in the stock market you get in the fourth grade." What's more important is understanding the underlying principles and behaviors of companies and markets. My internship at Fidelity during my senior year was another crucial step. Here, I was tasked with researching and writing reports, and visiting companies, much like regular analysts. This hands-on experience laid the groundwork for my future role as the manager of the Magellan Fund at Fidelity Investments.
