110. When Stocks Make a Comeback with Jason Moser
Everyone has those stocks in their portfolio that have underperformed, but we continue to hold, either on signs that things are set to improve or just on hope (a terrible thesis). On this week's show, Jeff and Jason are joined by longtime investor and Motley Fool Senior Analyst Jason Moser to discuss this topic, including stocks that holding paid off, others that didn't, and some real-world examples we are watching play out.
Companies mentioned: AAPL, CMG, COST, DOCU, MELI, NVDA, OM, PYPL, TDOC, TWLO

109. Stocks in 2024: The Ones We Missed
Hindsight bias? Almost certainly. But that doesn't mean we still shouldn't look back at stocks that have gone up a lot that we didn't buy. In this week's show, Jeff and Jason do exactly that, while trying to apply an objective lens to the lessons we can learn by taking a look backward at our times of inaction.
Companies mentioned: ANET, AMZN, ASML, AVGO, CRWD, NVDA, SHOP, ZM

108. Munger vs. the Market
Jeff recently went on vacation, and read Poor Charlie's Almanac. On this week's show, he shares with Jason the three things Charlie says every investor should do. We also discuss how difficult it can be to ignore and avoid the noise (such as Nvidia's recent stock split) and focus on what really matters. Jeff and Jason also talk about one of the hardest – most important – skills investors need to master: avoiding errors that are completely of our own actions.

Want us to make fun of you to make ourselves feel better? Send it to us for our next mailbag now!
