Cornhole Tournament Choke
- Quint and Logan share their personal experience in a cornhole tournament where they started strong but ultimately choked in the elimination round.
- They humorously admit the need to practice better and handle pressure to improve future performance.
Limit Stock Investments Prudently
- For average investors, stocks should be a small part of the portfolio and only if they are willing to do the work.
- Passion for stocks is good, but do not over-allocate your portfolio without proven consistent returns.
Be Skeptical of Analysts
- Be cautious about analyst price targets and recommendations as many have conflicts of interest.
- Prefer buy-side analysts who invest their own and clients' money; avoid those with potential corporate conflicts.
