David: As a life investor, i know we're gong to have drops. We've had dramatic drops in motley fool history. And if that's not for you, there are certainly ways to mitigate against that or invest more conservatively. You don't need to have that kind of volatility to feel great about your investing. It's knowing what color your parachute is and then making sure you're flying appropriately with your parachute.
There's no substitute for being invested with skin in the game in the world at large. In this weekend conversation, Co-founders of The Motley Fool Tom and David Gardner explain why. In this discussion the Gardners cover: - How investing fits into the pursuit of becoming smarter, happier, richer - The importance of being a lifelong learner and investor - Using index funds and how to approach buying individual stocks - Two core Motley Fool approaches -- Rule Breaker and Everlasting investing philosophies - Setting the right expectations for returns - Mastering the mindset of investing and managing volatility
