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 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 ❤️❤️❤️
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
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.
Thanks for this great stuff AJ. Mark, a great personality. My CFA journey started with Mark's free videos on RUclips. 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 RUclips when it's over" is one of the best of best decision in my opinion. Cheers!
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.
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
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. 👍
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.
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.
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.
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
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 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!
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
Thanks AJ and Mark! Great discussion across so many issues. Mark I look forward to more centrist discussion around social issues from you on RUclips, we are in a time when we need reason and compromise to prevail. Thanks guys and good work.
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.
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 ;)
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.
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..
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!
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….
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.
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
😂😂😂😂

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 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!
This was an extremely generous interview.
Thank you, Mark Meldrum.

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.
Mark is one of my favourite ppl. Never get tired of watching his videos.

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.
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.
Bruhhhhhhh !!!!! Thank you AJ for this video❤️💓❤️💓

I'm not planning on getting the CFA, I just enroll in MM's prep for learning. It's incredibly good.
love MM, even though I may not agree with everything, he presents such clear and rational arguments for all his content.
What an awesome guy. Very inspirational.
Im 2 years late over here but I gotta say this is a really good interview. Fan of both of you!
Thanks!
1 on 1 with Dr. Mark Meldrum...Life lessons...chapeaux, AJ Srmek !
thanks!
The video I was waitng for!
Amen! Lol
Absolutely inspired and motivated by Professor Meldrum.
I have such deep respect for this man, it hurt when he shared about losing his dog.
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!
Both of you are such a blessing, God bless!
God bless you!
Great interview !!!
MM has wisdom! good interview!!!

Thanks for listening!
Awesome 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. Love Mark's practical knowledge and course content, he makes learning fun! Sorry about your dog Mark.
Big MM fan. Would love it if he had a weekly podcast
Mark is a special man
MM's materials are solid. worth every penny.
Best interview ever

Haha thanks Austin! You can have the title when you pass the exams.
Mark you are Great, God bless you
Oh, My precious!
14:15 Mark has been one of these people for me.
Mark is basically intellectual dark web meets finance bro, and I love it. ♥️♥️♥️
OMG that's a 2h42mins vedio, great job!
Great video guys, thanks
Our pleasure!
The video of all videos
What a way to start a Monday!
Best video of the year :) Thank you both for educational content :)
Wow, thanks!
Great video
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.
I haven't even watched the video and I gave it a like
You are a hero.
Enjoying his content!
awesome video. been wondering what Marks story. bouta to sign up for lvl 1 in may. can’t wait to begin ;)
what a legend
By far my favourite professor at Sheridan
He is the real deal. Used his stuff in 2017-18 when he was just starting
Ah excellent. A LEGEND
THE LEGEND. Haha
Love the “John Lennon next to Lehman Brothers” background haha
Pls Mark do a potcast!
absolutely love the applied series
Very good inteview
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..
MM is a Legend!
Yes!
Mark is the Terminator of Academia, which is why I have chosen him to carry my ass to a CFA.
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 RUclips playlist (FYI only :) )Thanks.
M Squared a legend!- With the task at hand now in the rearview still love the mellow sounds of the m-Drum(s)
Lol wow you are an artist.
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….
Haha, I'm sure that would generate some interest!
@@straighttalks-ajsrmek323 seriously tho is was awesome for all of us.
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!

This would be a good case to time stamp the video
Time to interview Mark Meldrum again?
Please provide time stamps!!!
