Here is an article he wrote for HD: https://humbledollar.com/2023/07/come-a-long-way/
He says in this article that he must have read just about every column that Jonathan Clements wrote as a personal finance columnist for the Journal and learned much from them. He has read every investment book he could find, including those by Jonathan, Burton Malkiel, John Bogle, Charles Ellis, William Bernstein, Larry Swedroe, Jeremy Siegel and many others. This financial knowledge helped him very well. He advised many on investments. He was one of the most humble persons, I have ever met.
Thanks, Sundar for sharing the article about T.V. As a legal immigrant to another who came to this country the same year but as a 16 years old boy finishing his last 2 years of high school in rural South Carolina all because my family and I met a elderly couple who would sponsored me so that I could finish high school then pursued my American Dream. Many may think of it as luck but I believe more about Divine Providence than luck or good fortune. May God continue to bless America. The country I learn to love.
Yours is a great story! I am sure your hard work and motivation to succeed were a big part of it.
Shocked and saddened by V.T’s passing. His article and his life were most impressive.

Sundar, thanks for notifying us. I remember his wonderful story and how impressed I was that he responded to every comment. I would have liked to have met him and shared engineering stories with him.
We lost a very intelligent and thoughtful contributor. Thanks for notifying us.
I’m very sorry to learn of T.V.’s passing. Sundar, the article you linked was a great read, as evidenced by the huge number of “thumbs up” and comments. He really did come a long way, from extremely humble beginnings to great success.
