Description
The Corner of Berkshire & Fairfax is an online investing forum founded in 2009. In the forum, its 3000+ members can learn from each other experiences and keep up-to-date with the latest news from the investment world.
To join, there is a one-time fee of $50 that gives you lifetime access. Before joining the community, you can browse the forum for free. But without a membership, you will not be able to add your own entries or reply to other users' entries.
The forum brokes down the information into sections like general, investment ideas, personal finances, books, and strategies. This makes it easy for members to find what they need. It's a tight-knit community of engaged investors that want to learn about investment and grow their finances.
The community occasionally organizes both in-person and virtual events, as well as competitions. The topics discussed in the forum are all about investing strategies, fundamental analysis, the stock market, investing in properties or real estate, value investing, and more.
