Investing Unscripted Jason Hall and Jeff Santoro

This month's mailbag includes great questions about BDCs, broken investing theses, knowing if the story really changed, a little-known battery company, and what to do with middling investments. Jason also said that listener Jesse was a bad stock picker partly because their name starts with the same letters as Jeff's.  Have a question you want answered? Want us to make fun of you to make ourselves feel better? Send it to us for our next mailbag now! 

Companies mentioned: BEP, BEPC, BOC, CWEN, ENPH, FLNC, META, NEE, NVDA, SPUU, SSO

Warren Buffett once said, "Everyone has a plan until the stock market punches them in the mouth." Okay, Warren didn't say that, but the investing version of a Mike Tyson quote is still correct. Picking the best investments and having a plan is only part of investing success. And over time, we've come to learn that these things rarely account for the most important – and most flawed – part of investing: You. In this week's show, Jason and Jeff take a deeper look at the importance of goals and making the right investment decisions, and how critically important it is to build and maintain a framework that factors in your own psychology, and temperament, making it harder to make the easy mistakes, while also empowering you to make better decisions.
