Episode notes
Separate Retirement From Mad Money
- Split savings into multiple pools: a cautious retirement portfolio and a risk-tolerant discretionary 'mad money' pool.
- Use the discretionary pool for higher-risk bets while protecting funds you need for retirement or big goals.
Do Homework And Have A Testable Thesis
- Do the homework: read SEC filings and conference call transcripts to understand how a company makes money.
- Be able to explain your thesis to another adult before committing material capital.
Hold Few Names And Stay Flexible
- Build a diversified portfolio of five to ten stocks and avoid expanding beyond what you can track.
- Stay flexible and sell if your original thesis no longer holds; buy-and-hold is not a universal rule.
