    June 2026 Mailbag: “Do You Know Its Market Cap?”
    2026/06/24
    This month’s Mailbag ranges from Washington, D.C. to Germany, from the SEC to the moon, and from individual stock ownership to the deeper question of what freedom is actually for. Along the way, fellow Fools write in about transparency, curiosity, market caps, parenting, AI, adding to winning investments, and what can happen when decades of patient investing quietly compound into opportunities to help others. As always, the best part of the Mailbag is you.Host: David GardnerProducer: Bart ShannonCompanies Mentioned: HAS, ISRG, JEPI, KO, MAT, MSCI, NKE, NVDA Learn more about your ad choices.

    Market Cap Game Show: The King-Sharon Rule Debuts
    2026/06/17
    The Market Cap Game Show returns for its 42nd installment, with longtime Motley Fool personalities Charly Travers and Jason Moser battling for a coveted spot in next March’s Market Cap Madness Final Four.But this episode marks something new. For the first time, players can invoke the King-Sharon Rule, adding an extra layer of strategy, risk, and reward to the game. Agree or disagree is no longer the only choice. Feeling confident? Call “higher” or “lower” and put an extra half-point on the line.Ten stocks. Two seasoned competitors. One brand-new rule. And for reasons that only became apparent while recording, an unusually heavy concentration of food, cars, food delivered by car, food consumed after getting out of a car, car parts, collector cars, and at least one company that makes spices for the food.

  • Stock Stories, Vol. 12: Time Travel Investing

    Stock Stories, Vol. 12: Time Travel Investing
    2026/06/10
    For the twelfth time, we gather around the campfire for one of RBI’s favorite traditions: Stock Stories. Five Fools. Five investing lessons. This summer’s tales share a surprising common thread: A biotech shell company that refused to die. An old gift of IBM stock quietly compounding for decades. A Fool who finally bought Alphabet nearly twenty years after he first meant to. A company called Life360 proving that “obvious” doesn’t mean “fully valued.” And a producer awakening to stock-market investing in his 50s.The lesson? You may think you missed it. You probably didn’t.Pull up a chair, grab a marshmallow, and join us around the campfire.

    I Fought The Law (And The Law Won), Vol. 3
    2026/06/03
    Why do some organizations seem unable to solve the very problems they were created to fix? Why do seemingly rational people end up chasing the wrong goals? And why does one innocent purchase so often lead to five more? In this new volume of RBI’s recurring cerebral series, David explores a handful of memorable laws and principles that help explain how people, businesses, markets, and institutions actually behave… from the sublime to the silly. Some are famous. One is his own. All are useful. Host: David GardnerProducer: Bart Shannon Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

From the “Ship of Fools” and the spiffy-pop, to optionality, fads that weren’t fads, the hardest thing in life, divergence and convergence, and why the longer Frank Lloyd Wright lived, the more beautiful life became… this is a fast-moving collection of convictions, stories, quotes, and life-earned observations designed to stick with you long after the episode ends.A milestone birthday.

    What You Have Learned from David Gardner, Vol. 7
    2026/05/13
    Once a year, around David’s birthday, listeners send in notes sharing what they’ve learned from this podcast over the years—about investing, business, and life. This year’s volume includes reflections on “dips wait for dips,” learning to appreciate mistakes instead of fearing them, the surprising power of simply doing nothing during market volatility, and why optimism itself may be one of the great competitive advantages in life.Along the way: a physician assistant on the front lines of COVID, a renowned cancer surgeon who juggles, a Foolish Leprechaun who finally stopped trading and started investing, and a Scotsman reminding us all to look for L’Optimisme in the world.Host: David GardnerProducer: Bart Shannon Learn more about your ad choices.
