Mailbag time! Thanks to our listeners for a lot of great questions. This month's topics include whether the advice to take on more portfolio risk when you’re young is "BS", our worst-performing stocks double-down candidates, how to figure out your magic number, fighting the allure of selling stocks to raise cash, and more!

In the second part of the show, Jeff and Jason ponder investing legend David Gardner's "only dips buy dips" maxim. tl;dr: it depends. 

We're always looking for more questions for our monthly mailbag. Send them to us anytime you have them, via email or social media.
