“Kiril Sokoloff is a breath of pure fresh investment oxygen. He is invaluable because he is an original thinker and is not afraid to take extreme views. Probably nobody in the world reads as much as he does.”

Barton Biggs

“What I Learned this Week is required reading for our firm, to the point that it's truly an indispensable part of my week. Kiril Sokoloff and the rest of the WILTW staff distinguish themselves in many respects, but perhaps the most impressive is their maniacal focus upon investment anomalies (i.e., things that should be happening that aren't, or things that should not be happening that are). This approach frequently leads to powerful, and actionable, investment insights. WILTW is without parallel in the both the breadth and scope of its essays, and is, quite, simply, the best investment newsletter that's produced on a regular basis.”

Ian McKinnon, Managing Partner, Ziff Brothers Investments

“Kiril Sokoloff and his team are an unbelievably inspiring group of outside the box thinkers. After having the good fortune of watching 13D in action during several team retreats, I can confidently say that this is an exceptional group of minds led by the most impressive learning machine I have ever known. But what really sets Kiril apart is not just his brilliance but his humanity. This is a truly good man who is making the world a better place.”

Josh Waitzkin, author, The Art of Learning, 8-time National Chess Champion, 2-time Tai Chi Push Hands World Champion

“What I Learned this Week and other 13D publications are the single most important input in my investment and trading decisions. The work that Kiril Sokoloff and the 13D team do is instrumental in helping me to see clearly the most important long term trends in the investing landscape. Through its visionary, decisive, and contrarian approach, Kiril and team see around the corner and anticipate market movements well in advance. The material is deeply thought provoking and helps me to get into a position to invest with confidence when market opportunities present themselves.”

Robert McTamaney, Head of Trading, Goldman Sachs Asia

“I have been in the business for 25 years and your weekly piece is, I believe, the best research I’ve ever consumed. It’s just fantastic.”

Bob Scannell, Tradewinds Investment Management

“Kiril Sokoloff and his talented associates generate truly unique and penetrating insights into world developments and promising investment opportunities. Their weekly publication is mandatory and essential reading for anyone who invests money for clients or oneself.”

Donald K. Miller, Chairman, Axiom International Investors

“Kiril and his team have the unique ability to sift through the deluge of information and focus on what is truly insightful. I find WILTW to be the most useful and enlightening research available.  It is a must read for me!”

Arvind K. Sachdeva, Portfolio Manager and CIO, Victory Capital Management

“I have been an avid subscriber to 13D for several years. It is the best service that I know of. I have been reading investment letters for 57 years. Kiril Sokoloff is a deep thinker and amazingly well-informed. The weekly letter is eclectic--not solely related to investment matters. ”

Peter Cannell

“13D Research is the best I have ever seen in my 50 years in investments.”

Richard A. Kimball

“Kiril writes the finest investment newsletter (and it’s much more than that) in the country I believe.”

Aubrey McClendon, CEO and co-founder of Chesapeake Energy

“WILTW is consistently the most interesting read of the week.  I remain in complete admiration of how you educate, motivate & sometimes inspire your readers with a uniquely eclectic collection of ideas, themes and ideals.  Thank you.”

Stephen Holowesko, Holowesko Partners

“A unique combination of “out-of- the-box” thinking with practical ways to translate the ideas into profitable investments.”

Dick Weiss, Wells Fargo

“I just wanted to say thanks very much for your work. In my 20 years of trading, I have never come across research which was more insightful, profitable, and such a pleasure to read.”

Michael Smith, Citadel

“I have been a client of 13D for 24 years. 13D combines accurate fundamental research and excellent market timing. No other investment research service has made more money for our clients year after year.”

Tom McKissick, Trust Company of the West

“13D Research is not only one of the most original, insightful research publications available, but it adds richness to the investment process and is the highlight of my week!”

Weston Hicks, President of Alleghany

“I've known 13D Research for over twenty years. Kiril Sokoloff and his associates are some of the best people I have ever met; first class people, always reliable. I have enormous respect for them. Their track record of predictive investment themes is phenomenal and quite unique to the investment community. 13D is unconventional in their contrarian thinking and rewarding to those who follow them.”

Edward N. Ney, Chairman Emeritus, Young & Rubicam, New York

“The very essence of investment management lies in one's ability to escape the consensus by intelligently extrapolating current developments into the future. Nobody does this better than Kiril Sokoloff at 13D Research. 13D is a must for any forward-thinking investor, that is to say, any long term investor who seeks insights into tomorrow's headlines before they are discounted in today's prices.”

Bruce Lueck, CIO (retired), Okabena

“WILTW consistently stands out against the collective; increasingly easy to do perhaps, but worthy of praise nonetheless.  Your publication has helped to improve my thought process, and that will ultimately accrue to our shareholders.  What could be better than that?”

Josh Cummings, Putnam
