Timeless stock wisdom.
I have been listening the Rule Breaker Investing and other Motley Fool podcasts for quite a few years, but since long ago David Gardner just talks about life, butterflies and blah, blah, and nothing to do with investing… Guess perhaps He does that because when He was recommending stocks, pretty much He was wrong 90% of the times 😆 But if like me you are interested in investing rather than motivational speaking, personal reflections, psychology and philosophy, you will find this podcast useless... more
The Rule Breaker Podcast is a great offering to learn the mindset of investing. And David is “enthusiastically evangelical about rational optimism!”
