    Awesome business / stock / life stuff analysis. David is an optimistic and refreshing to listen to. He’s also picked some of the best performing stocks over the past two decades including Nvidia, Amazon, Netflix, Apple, Shopify and more. Those seem obvious now but they were not when he and his team recommended them. Thank you for your positivity and sharing your experience with us in business and in life. Happy bday!

Q: What do you think of Nvidia's dividend increase and the idea of a spiffy divvy?
Nvidia's dividend jump from 1 cent to 25 cents per share is a striking example of mature, cash-rich companies returning capital to shareholders. It highlights the value of holding great companies over long horizons and the potential for dividends to compound alongside price gains, which can lead to terms like 'spiffy divvy' describing dividends that exceed the original cost basis.
