Ricky Mulvey and Brian Stoffel serve up an introduction to stoicism, and why these philosophers from a few thousand years ago have practical advice for investors today. They discuss: - Fundamentals of stoicism - The dichotomy of control (and what it means for investors) - Seneca’s complex relationship with wealth - Company leaders that may exhibit some stoic virtues
