2024 is here, and plenty of people are trying to jumpstart, re-start, or just plain start their investing journeys. We hope that Investing Unscripted can help you along your journey! In our usual anachronistic ways, this week's show is taking a very different approach, and we are answering the question, when should you stop investing? Specifically, when should you consider cutting back, or even completely stopping, investing new money, whether in your retirement accounts, taxable brokerage, kid's education accounts, or whatever? Jeff and Jason have a lot of fun with this wide-ranging topic, suggested to us by longtime listener and Friend of the Show, Colin. In the second part of this week's show, Jeff and Jason discuss how they each plan to invest in 2024, changes from how they put their money to work in 2023, and why.

In our last mailbag of 2023, Jeff and Jason field a select few questions from you, our loyal listeners, including a discussion on moats (metaphorical ones that defend the profits of our favorite companies), when it's time to join the market if you can't beat it, and a timely look at end-of-year tax moves in your portfolio.  In the second part of the show, we discuss how we are feeling about the market broadly after a nearly two-month screaming run higher. Jason asks Jeff, "What's your market vibes, bro?"  Companies mentioned: ABNB, ASML, CELH, ETSY, GOOG, GOOGL, KO, LULU, MSFT, NVDA, NOW, PTON, SBUX, SFIX We would love feedback on the show.

What is venture capital? What does it have to do with buying stocks? This week, Jason and Jeff are joined by Joe Magyer, founder of VC firm Seaplane Ventures. After nearly two decades investing in public stocks, Joe now focuses on finding and investing in early-stage companies before they IPO. In this episode, Joe helps explain how VC works, and breaks down the big trend of startups staying private for much longer, why that's happened, and how it potentially affects investors in stocks.  Are you a founder (or an accredited investor) looking to contact Joe? You can find him at https://www.seaplaneventures.com/, https://www.linkedin.com/in/joemagyer/, and https://twitter.com/Magyer.   Companies mentioned: AMZN, NFLX, NVDA  We would love feedback on the show.
