i want to talk about stoic virtues and how we see them, and maybe some of the companies we own. But i think it would be remiss to have that conversation without kind of first cautioning against declaring people and leaders and organizations is virtuous. The intentions are so difficult to judge, especially from the outside. View what we're about to talk about the same way i said we should view seneca: as a human being who has ideas, and actions might not always match those ideas.
Do you really own your stocks? The stoics might suggest otherwise. 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
Companies mentioned: COST, AAPL, BRK.A, BRK.B
Host: Ricky Mulvey Guest: Brian Stoffel Engineer: Dan Boyd
