Customer Reviews
Best Investor of the Past 25 Years
David Gardner is more than that. He's thoughtful, curious, rigorous,and occasionally silly. But his track record speaks for itself. And I can't think of another investor on his level who shares his thinking on a weekly basis like this (for years!) like him. Can't imagine anyone listening to this show and NOT becoming smarter about investing.
Emotions
He doesn’t function linearly in a logical approach. Instead his approaches to life, including politicizing a shooting, is grounded in emotions and not evidence.
Great Investing Podcast and much more!
The host of the podcast (David) is genuinely interested in helping his listeners. The more you listen to the podcast, the more obvious it becomes. Yes, he started the Motley Fool and he talks about his company from time to time. It is a obvious that he is proud of The Fool (and he should be), but at no time have I ever felt pressured to purchase the services his company offers. There is not any sales pitches or high pressure talk at all. This Podcast is just about enriching the listeners lives. Their is obviously a lot of investing talks and topics, which are highly informative, but so much more. Games games games comes to mind along with having authors on that give great life advice! If you are new to investing or if you have been doing it for 30+years this is a great podcast to listen to every week!!
