    Figuring out which stocks to buy is only half of the equation. A lot of your success – and for many people, most of their poor returns – are the result of selling. This week, Jeff and Jason take a close look at selling stocks, breaking down the reasons to sell, which are good, which are bad, and how you can make better selling decisions.

    103. Imposter or Investor?

    103. Imposter or Investor?

    Warren Buffett once said, "Everyone has a plan until the stock market punches them in the mouth." Okay, Warren didn't say that, but the investing version of a Mike Tyson quote is still correct. Picking the best investments and having a plan is only part of investing success. And over time, we've come to learn that these things rarely account for the most important – and most flawed – part of investing: You. In this week's show, Jason and Jeff take a deeper look at the importance of goals and making the right investment decisions, and how critically important it is to build and maintain a framework that factors in your own psychology, and temperament, making it harder to make the easy mistakes, while also empowering you to make better decisions.

Review for the Smattering

Podcast is great. Listen to it every week.

Logoburn ,

Great Listen

Jeff and Jason are a great listen. They touch on several industries in the investing world and offer up some good perspectives. I always come away from the show with something to think about. Keep up the good work guys!

Team Cuz ,

The Smattering Always Delivers

Updated Review after Episode 96: I can’t believe Investing Unscripted listeners have been lucky enough to have this show remain as strong as it is. There is even a day of the week named after the previous show name, it’s forever Smatterday! I just hope they get renewed for a third season.

Previous review: Jason and Jeff always come to the table with great topics and are happy to interact with listeners. I’ve developed a better investing framework taking bits of knowledge throughout the first 33 episodes, and often listen more than once.
