Picking great stocks is hard. But finding an "expert" who'll take your money in exchange for their best stock ideas is pretty easy. Not all of the experts are as good as they claim, and few offer a transparent record of their results. In this week's show, Jeff and Jason are joined by Simon Erickson. Simon has worked for more than a decade as an analyst and advisor for multiple stock-picking services, including 7Investing, which he founded in early 2020. Topics include Simon's background and history, how he has evolved as an investor, lessons learned over the past five years through a very tumultuous market, and founding and running a business.
