    Investors have enjoyed the bull run of the stock market over the past 15 months. Yet for those who are still regularly contributing new money to invest, seeing your favorite stocks up 30%, 50%, or even more from where you last bought them can make it hard to keep buying. But, are these big winners actually overvalued? In this episode, Jeff and Jason take a closer look at some of their favorite high-priced stocks to learn whether they're actually overvalued.

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.

Chris Cof ,

My favorite investing podcast!

This is a must listen for me each week. I really enjoy the conversation between Jeff and Jason. I’ve learned several lessons from them. I also really appreciate that they admit to not having all the answers and openly will change their opinion of a stock based on new information. I really appreciate the openness!

RandomLake ,

The podcast formerly known as the Smattering

Love the podcast these guys put out. All the benefits of discussing business and investing with intelligent people without the burden of having to speak and embarrass yourself. Side benefit of sharpening one's skills in the art of snark.
