Rule Breaker Investing

Howdy, partner. You know it ain’t easy out there on the ol’ stock trail. You may end up deep in some canyon where you think you’ll never make it out. But keep at it long enough and you’ll end up climbing a mountain where the views go on forever. But remember my friend, life is all about the journey. Take a load off, let me tell you a story....

What's that? You thought real estate investing was boring? Unfamiliar? Too much work? Out of reach? Well our old friend Matt Argersinger is here to tell you otherwise... and maybe dish out a little game show revenge while he's here. Hold on to your belled caps, we're talking properties!

Looking for a great investing success story? No problem. A cautionary tale of dreadful financial advice? No worries. A follow on Twitter? You’re welcome. Jim Gillies and Aaron Bush join us for another motley mailbag!

On this show, we love to talk about Conscious Capitalism. We generally avoid talking about politics. But what happens when those worlds collide? When campaign strategist Matthew Dowd was introduced to Conscious Capitalism, he wrote about how much better our world would be if politics took a similar approach. Now that’s worth talking about!

Is this the most important episode of the past two years? Now, if you’re a longtime listener, these truths may indeed seem self-evident. But to much of the investing world, they’re still wildly contrarian. So please feel free to share this episode with someone who doesn’t get it yet!

Sometimes a few little tweaks in your daily routine can improve your life dramatically. Maybe it’s getting up early. Maybe it’s rooting for the right people. Maybe it’s remembering that not all trolls are evil—but they’re still trolls. Today is the day to try some new tricks and hack your way to a better life!

Sports, investing, and character.... Crypto without the currency.... Kudos for Candyland.... And of course, your pet peeves. This month's mailbag is unlike any other. Just like all the others.

It's time for some fresh blood here on The Market Cap Game Show, and so we've hit up to our A-list of analysts to bring you Brian Feroldi and Brian Stoffel. But which Brian has the best brain? And are you better than both Brians? Only one way to tell...

It's not that we're negative nellies around here. I mean, we're optimists, right? But still, every once in a while, even Fools need to air a few grievances. So get ready to shake your fist at the heavens – it's time for some pet peeves!

It’s time check on the progress of 5 Stocks Indistinguishable from Magic and 5 Stocks with a Tailwind Blow. But for 5 MM MMM Good Stocks it’s year three, so we’ll give it one last look and a final tally before sailing it off in honor and glory… to Foolhalla!

We delight in breaking rules. But laws – real laws – the ones that govern the universe and human behavior... well if we fight those, we'll likely lose. But if we know them well and abide by them, we just might find ourselves a little smarter, happier, and richer.

Sometimes we find inspiration from the incredibly insightful authors we interview. Sometimes it's from the stories of everyday Fools who have seen the light—and most importantly, taken action. Always we find inspiration from this, our monthly mailbag!

What is normal? What is taboo? How much have we learned in the last century? In Gods of the Upper Air, Charles King illuminates the anthropologists who broke the rules of 20th Century culture, and the science that refuted society's assumptions about race, gender, and sexuality.

"Stop the Busywork, and Start the Work that Matters" – the subtitle of Do More Great Work by Michael Bungay Stanier gets right to the point on how we can do more of what we love and be the best versions of ourselves.

You've heard Shirzad talk about the benefits of raising your PQ, or Positive Intelligence Quotient. Now it's time to hit the gym and build some mental muscle!

Is it possible to train your brain towards happiness and success? The science says yes! Shirzad Chamine's Positive Intelligence is your guide to weaken the saboteurs that haunt your mind and strengthen your inner sage.

Another great month in the books! On today's mailbag we hear a lot of love for Coach Reich, we get a little more airtime with our VC side-swami Ollen, and we round it off with some stories that remind us of what is truly important in life.

To be a Rule Breaker investor, you need to think like a venture capitalist. So... what's a venture capitalist? Glad you asked! The Fool's own Ollen Douglass is here to explain what it is, what it does, and how you can dip your toes in the VC pool.

You know that savvy investor we had on the show a few days ago? Turns out he also knows a thing or two about the game of football. Many thanks to Frank Reich for sticking around for an extra chat about his other passion.

You win some, you lose some. But if you turn those wins and losses into something bigger, something inspirational... well then you might just make the world smarter, happier, and richer. As an NFL quarterback and head coach, Frank Reich has won and lost under the brightest of lights, but his story rises well beyond the game of football. In fact, you might be surprised to hear just how much of a Fool he really is!
