Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

194. February 2026 Mailbag
Q: What qualities do you look for in a company when deciding to add a new position?
The hosts emphasize a strong enthusiasm for the company and understanding its business, rather than focusing solely on numerical return projections.
194. February 2026 Mailbag
Q: How do you deal with nagging doubts when facing market downturns?
The hosts discuss their strategies, focusing on dollar-cost averaging and evaluating business performance outside of market reactions.
First Fridays 27. January 2026
Q: What do you think about small caps in 2026?
It's tough to say; small caps are more economically sensitive, and if there is a bad year for the market, small caps might struggle. However, there is potential for them to outperform if the economy stays stable but AI stock excitement calms down.
First Fridays 27. January 2026
Q: Can you provide further analysis on QuantumScape?
There's not really a lot new about QuantumScape, but they did have announcements in December on some commercialization progress, and they are on a good track to commercialize solid-state batteries with partnerships with several OEMs.
186. December 2025 Mailbag
Q: What are your thoughts on investing in the cannabis industry given the new executive order?
It's a risky industry without brand loyalty and major hurdles remain; it's solidly in the too hard pile for me.
