INVESTING JOURNEY
Dorsey got hooked on investing in elementary school when his grandmother put some money for him into an ETrade account.
He started pursuing big-name investors for meetings when he was still in high school.
He began writing for the stock-research platform Seeking Alpha as a teenager.
He wrote Warren Buffett so many letters asking to set up a sit-down that Buffett's assistant felt it necessary to caution him not to fly to Omaha.
He met two prominent short-sellers early on, Jim Cohodes and Jim Carruthers, and that got him interested in shorting.
His first foray into activist investing came when he was a Stanford student and wrote about Care.com, where he found indications that the company was letting through babysitters linked to children’s deaths or abuse.
