Rule Breaker Investing

From Diwali’s lights in India to a “spiffy-drop” on Netflix, this Mailbag travels widely and thinks deeply. A listener celebrates the Rule Breaker habit of lighting candles, not fanning flames, while others ask how to “Add Up, Don’t Double Down” in practice, what makes a business cyclical, and how to think about price momentum. Plus, a 67-year-old Fool goes all-in, a Boilermaker misses Investor Island, and a Brit reminds us that some “periods of time” are best left to translation.

Financial Horror Stories Vol. 4, Grave Financial Robbing

Every stock tells a story. This week we gather around the campfire for five fresh tales—from silicon driving the AI era to supply-chain software that keeps retail humming, from a Latin American marketplace that became a fintech/logistics flywheel to a spicy franchiser scaling flavor by the bucket… and a legendary spiffy-pop that still makes us smile. Expect lessons in patience, optionality, moats—and why a single day can sometimes pay back an entire cost basis.

“Rule Breaker Investing” Highlight Reel

We’re launching a new series—10 Years Later—where we open a time capsule, revisit a 5-Stock Sampler on its 10th birthday, and see what really happened. First up is our original (9/2/2015) sampler, 5 Stocks for the Next 5 Years: a motley mix that spanned Latin American e-commerce, rural convenience, blockbuster gaming, frontline cybersecurity, and kitchen-tech roll-ups. Longtime Fool Rick Munarriz joins as David’s sidekick to share the what, why, and when of these stocks’ march through the decade.

How did each of these stocks do? How about the sampler’s overall outperformance? David & Rick extract the key lessons. Rule Breaker Investing isn’t just about keeping score; it’s about learning how (and why) we win.
