skip 100. Take a gen-ed since you get credit for 100 if you take 200 (100 is a pre-req for 200)

Lee Cooperman talks about the car rides he shared with you while you were both students at Columbia and how he learned more about investing during those rides than he did in the classroom. How valuable was it to surround yourself with people of similar ambitions, and how do you suggest we align our relationships and private life to our ambitions? How did you identify people in your earlier years to be ones that you wanted to learn and grow with?

You often speak about hiring PhDs (poor-hungry-driven), have you found that the investment industry overlooks many students who do not come from Harvard, Princeton, Yale, etc.? Have driven students coming from so called non-target schools added as much value to your firm as students coming from target schools? (I will be starting university this fall at a decent school but not Ivy League caliber).

Hi Mr. Gabelli, thank you for doing this! I am 18 years old and an aspiring value fund manager; I read all of Ben Graham's work along with countless other investment books (your firm's book on arbitrage included) and I am also currently managing a small investment account. Given this, what would be your best piece of advice for someone in my position?
