David breaks down why long-term investing still beats short-term trading, how information overload has made investing harder, and why many of the best stocks in history looked “overvalued” – before they became legendary. He shares the thinking behind “Rulebreaker Investing,” including the habits that matter most, the role of conscious capitalism, and why portfolios should reflect your vision of the future, not the headlines of the day.
The conversation also touches on short-term speculation, prediction markets, crypto, dividend stocks, and why David believes real investing means staying patient when others panic. This is a clear-eyed framework for investors who want to think independently...and play the long game.
