In this episode of the Limitless Podcast, Dr. Matthew Preston and Dr. Thaon Simms explore the psychology behind winning and losing in the stock market through lessons from The Art of Execution by Lee Freeman-Shor. ๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿ“ˆ From holding onto losing stocks for too long ๐Ÿ˜ฐ to selling winners too early ๐Ÿ’ธ, Matthew and Thaon break down five investor archetypes: the Rabbit, Assassin, Hunter, Raider, and Connoisseur.

    Would You Put ALL Your Money in ONE Stock?

    We're told one investing rule from the beginning: don't put all your eggs in one basket. But does owning more stocks actually make you wealthier, or does diversification mainly protect you when you're wrong? ๐Ÿ“ˆ In this episode of the Limitless Podcast, Dr. Matthew Preston and Dr. Thaon Simms break down concentration vs diversification, position sizing, conviction, risk, and the uncomfortable truth that no amount of research can remove uncertainty. They also get into a question every investor should ask: if you've ranked your best investment ideas by conviction, why are you taking money away from your best idea to put it into your tenth-best idea? The answer gets to the heart of diversification. Your research can be good and your conviction can be high, but your ranking can still be wrong. ๐Ÿ“Š Highlights & Chapters: 0:00 - 5:31 | ๐Ÿฅš Why Investors Are Told to Diversify 5:31 - 10:16 | ๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ Diversification as Risk Management 10:16 - 15:43 | ๐ŸŽฏ Being Right vs Concentrating Your Money 15:43 - 20:33 | ๐Ÿ’ฐ How Concentration Can Build Wealth 20:33 - 25:27 | โœˆ๏ธ Survivorship Bias and Learning From Failure 25:27 - 31:53 | ๐Ÿ“Š Position Sizing, Conviction and Uncertainty 31:53 - 38:33 | ๐Ÿ” Can Concentration Actually Reduce Risk? 38:33 - 44:50 | ๐Ÿ’ต Does Diversification Change as You Get Richer? 44:50 - 48:51 | ๐Ÿค” Why Own Your Tenth-Best Investment Idea? 48:51 - 51:28 | ๐Ÿงบ How Many Stocks Should You Actually Own? ๐ŸŽง Listen to more episodes: https://limitlesspodcast.buzzsprout.com ๐Ÿฅ Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/Limitless_pod ๐Ÿ“ท Stay connected on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/limitless_pod/ ๐Ÿ’ฒ Get exclusive insights: https://bit.ly/Limitless-MMJA-Discount ๐Ÿ‘ If you enjoyed this episode, please like, subscribe, and share! โ“ What's the fewest number of stocks you would feel comfortable owning in your portfolio?

    Why Everyone Hates the IMF

    Why does the IMF still bring back memories of hard times for so many Jamaicans? Dr. Matthew Preston and Dr. Thaon Simms sit down with Julian Morrison, โ€œDr. Doom,โ€ to trace Jamaicaโ€™s economic story from the oil shocks and currency problems of the 1970s and 1980s through FinSAC, IMF austerity, JDX, NDX and the reforms that followed. The conversation explains why Jamaica kept borrowing, why debt restructuring was so painful, how EPOC helped rebuild confidence, and how falling government interest rates eventually pushed more capital toward the Jamaica Stock Exchange. Then the discussion turns to investors: What would it take for the JSE to return to its 2016โ€“2019 form? Julian breaks down the role of interest rates, liquidity, market sentiment and earningsโ€”and argues that when it comes to moving stock prices, flows and perception can matter before fundamentals. ๐Ÿ“Š Highlights & Chapters: 0:00 - 12:58 | ๐Ÿฆ What the IMF Actually Does 12:58 - 21:20 | ๐Ÿ“‰ Inflation, Interest Rates & Government Debt 21:20 - 39:48 | ๐Ÿ‡ฏ๐Ÿ‡ฒ How Jamaicaโ€™s Debt Crisis Took Shape 39:48 - 1:01:47 | ๐Ÿ’ฅ FinSAC, Austerity, JDX & Jamaicaโ€™s Credit Rating 1:01:47 - 1:16:05 | ๐Ÿ”„ NDX, EPOC & the Debt Turnaround 1:16:05 - 1:31:06 | ๐Ÿ’ต IMF Reform, BFIXIT & Jamaicaโ€™s Recovery 1:31:06 - 1:38:44 | ๐Ÿ“ˆ What Would Make the JSE Boom Again? 1:38:44 - 1:45:19 | ๐Ÿง  APOs, Liquidity & Market Sentiment 1:45:19 - 1:54:26 | ๐Ÿฆ Scotia, NCB & the Cost of Capital 1:54:26 - 2:03:14 | ๐Ÿ’ฐ Dividends, Investor Flows & What Moves Stocks ๐ŸŽง Listen to more episodes: https://limitlesspodcast.buzzsprout.com ๐Ÿฅ Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/Limitless_pod ๐Ÿ“ท Stay connected on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/limitless_pod/ ๐Ÿ’ฒ Get exclusive insights: https://bit.ly/Limitless-MMJA-Discount ๐Ÿ‘ If you enjoyed this episode, please like, subscribe, and share! โ“ What do you think matters most for another JSE boom: lower interest rates, stronger earnings, or better investor sentiment? โš ๏ธ Disclaimer: The opinions expressed in this podcast are solely those of the hosts and do not constitute financial advice.

    We Ranked Jamaicaโ€™s Best Dividend Stocks for 2025-2026

    Jamaican investors love dividend stocks. But does a high dividend yield actually mean you're making more money? In this episode of the Limitless Podcast, Dr. Matthew Preston and Dr. Thaon Simms compare some of the JSE's best-known dividend stocks. Instead of looking at the dividend alone, they compare it with changes in the share price to see what investors actually earned. TransJamaica is one of the biggest surprises. Its current dividend yield isn't particularly high compared with other stocks on the list, but its share price climbed sharply over the period examined. Guardian Holdings tells a different story. It tops the list for dividend yield, but its share price barely moved over the same period. The discussion also covers Carreras, Fontana, GraceKennedy, Scotia Group, NCB Financial Group and several other JSE stocks. If you're buying stocks for dividends, this episode asks a simple question: What happens to your total return when the share price moves against you? ๐Ÿ“Š Highlights & Chapters: 0:00 - 5:59 | ๐Ÿ’ฐ Why investors love dividend stocks 5:59 - 10:33 | ๐Ÿš€ TransJamaica's 156% capital gain 10:33 - 15:38 | ๐Ÿ† The highest dividend yields on the JSE 15:38 - 19:24 | ๐Ÿ“‰ When capital losses wipe out your dividend 19:24 - 26:14 | ๐Ÿ’Š Fontana's 4% dividend vs a falling share price 26:14 - 34:21 | ๐ŸŒŽ GraceKennedy's dividends and 2030 targets 34:21 - 39:30 | ๐Ÿฆ Scotia's dividend and proposed buyout 39:30 - 47:13 | ๐Ÿ’ต What price would make Scotia worth buying? 47:13 - 51:02 | ๐Ÿ“ˆ NCB and the case for watching capital gains 51:02 - 51:59 | ๐ŸŽฏ Dividend yield vs total return ๐ŸŽง Listen to more episodes: https://limitlesspodcast.buzzsprout.com ๐Ÿฅ Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/Limitless_pod ๐Ÿ“ท Stay connected on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/limitless_pod/ ๐Ÿ’ฒ Get exclusive insights: https://bit.ly/Limitless-MMJA-Discount ๐Ÿ‘ If you enjoyed this episode, please like, subscribe, and share! โ“ When you buy a stock, which matters more to you: the dividend yield or your total return? โš ๏ธ Disclaimer: The opinions expressed in this podcast are solely those of the hosts and do not constitute financial advice.

    Jermaine McDonald: What Most Investors Learn Too Late

    Jermaine McDonald, co-founder of Learn Grow Invest, joins Dr. Matthew Preston and Dr. Thaon Simms to talk investing, the Jamaica Stock Exchange and the lessons that shaped his approach to building wealth. Jermaine shares how he went from a J$2 million negative net worth to becoming an investor and educator, the mistakes he made early on, how FOMO affected his decisions, and why losing money eventually forced him to learn how to invest properly. We also get into his current approach to the market, including why he only holds four stocks, why he no longer believes in simply buying and holding forever, and how he separates the bull case from the bear case when analysing a company. The conversation also covers FESCO, RPL, Image Plus, JetCon, Indies Pharma, TransJamaica and other JSE stocks, including growth, valuation, investor sentiment and what can cause an investment thesis to change. Jermaine also explains the responsibility that comes with talking about stocks publicly, including the surprising story of someone who bought a stock simply because he smiled while discussing it. ๐ŸŽง Listen to more episodes: https://limitlesspodcast.buzzsprout.com ๐Ÿฅ Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/Limitless_pod ๐Ÿ“ท Stay connected on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/limitless_pod/ ๐Ÿ’ฒ Get exclusive insights: https://bit.ly/Limitless-MMJA-Discount ๐Ÿ‘ If you enjoyed this episode, please like, subscribe, and share! โ“ What is the biggest lesson you have learned from losing money in the stock market? โš ๏ธ Disclaimer: The opinions expressed in this podcast are solely those of the hosts and do not constitute financial advice.

    Seprod's 5-for-1 Split: Is the Market Missing the Real Story?

    SEPROD has put a five-for-one stock split, a major increase in authorized shares and the possibility of an Additional Public Offer on the table. Dr. Matthew Preston and Dr. Thaon Simms break down what the announcement could mean for SEPROD shareholders and what the company may be preparing to do next. We look at SEPROD's history of using cash and shares for acquisitions, the possibility of another major deal, dilution, debt repayment and how much capital the company could theoretically raise. At the upper end of the share capacity discussed in the episode, the numbers become enormous, potentially enough to fund an acquisition approaching the size of SEPROD itself. Is the stock split mainly about making SEPROD more accessible to investors, or is it part of a much bigger plan? ๐ŸŽง Listen to more episodes: https://limitlesspodcast.buzzsprout.com ๐Ÿฅ Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/Limitless_pod ๐Ÿ“ท Stay connected on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/limitless_pod/ ๐Ÿ’ฒ Get exclusive insights: https://bit.ly/Limitless-MMJA-Discount ๐Ÿ‘ If you enjoyed this episode, please like, subscribe, and share! โ“ What do you think SEPROD is raising capital for: an acquisition, debt reduction, expansion, or something else? โš ๏ธ Disclaimer: The opinions expressed in this podcast are solely those of the hosts and do not constitute financial advice.

    Why Jamaicaโ€™s Doctors Are In Dispute With The Government

    Why are Jamaica's public sector doctors taking industrial action, and how did a dispute over overtime pay reach this point? On October 2, 2026, Jamaica's public sector doctors took industrial action, providing emergency services only. JMDA President Dr. Jubilee Brown-Service joins Dr. Matthew Preston and Dr. Thaon Simms to explain the association's position, the dispute over emergency duty pay, the differing estimates of J$31 billion and J$23 billion, and why doctors are still waiting for a ruling from the Industrial Disputes Tribunal.

    The Truth About Dividend Investing: Is It Really Worth It?

    Are dividends really the passive-income machine investors make them out to be? ๐Ÿ“ˆ๐Ÿ’ต In this episode of the Limitless Podcast, Dr. Thaon Simms and Dr. Matthew Preston break down the truth about dividend investing, from dividend yields and taxes to capital gains, bonds, portfolio size, and the amount of money you may actually need before dividends materially change your life. The hosts explore why a great dividend yield on a small portfolio can still produce relatively little cash ๐Ÿ’ธ, why dividends are never guaranteed, and why investors need to consider total return instead of focusing only on income. They also discuss dividend investing on the Jamaica Stock Exchange ๐Ÿ‡ฏ๐Ÿ‡ฒ, using companies such as TransJamaican Highway, Carreras, NCB Financial Group, Jetcon and others as examples.
