Rule Breaker Investing

For summer’s final Mailbag, a listener shares how he dropped sports betting and picked up investing, while another wants to know how to allocate portfolios as a Rule Breaker. David brings back Motley Fool Chief Investment Officer, Andy Cross, to discuss tools for tracking your portfolio against the S&P 500, thinking briefly about dividend allocation, then answering the question, “If you were investing your first $1,000 today, what would your approach be?” Those gems, along with Author in August Sam Horn—like a river—running through it!

Continuing our eighth annual Authors in August series, David welcomes Sam Horn, renowned communications strategist and founder and CEO of the Intrigue Agency, based in Austin, Texas. Sam gamely plays a little book roulette. She starts by detailing how to nail a sixty-second pitch, then walks us through how to handle rude people, blamers, shamers, complainers, non-stop talkers, people who refuse to cooperate, and those who ignore rules or boundaries. 

They also reveal the word that David is trying his best to avoid saying, and finish with a raucous round of Buy, Sell, or Hold.
