Rule Breaker Investing

ChatGPT is back on the mound, David is back in the batter’s box, and for the first time in more than a year it’s time for five fresh pitches.This time, the questions aren’t quizzes—they’re provocations. What advantages did David have as an investor at 30 that he no longer has at 60—and what has he gained in return? Which Rule Breaker principle might prove less durable over the decades ahead? What could the future price of a single company tell us about the future of the world? And when two very different kinds of Rule Breakers compete for one spot in your portfolio, which way do you swing?

Five questions designed to challenge assumptions, expose blind spots, summon a few strange hypotheticals, and perhaps produce an answer or two David himself didn’t know he had.ChatGPT asks. David answers. Five questions, five swings. Play ball!

ChatGPT Asks & David Answers, Vol. 4

en years ago, amid plenty of bearish sentiment, David did something unique in the history of his 5-Stock Samplers: he picked five stocks specifically to beat the market over just the next year. The common denominator? Each ranked among the lowest-risk companies in his investing universe.A decade later, Rick Munarriz joins him to fire up the time machine. Apple, Canadian National Railway, Disney, Ecolab, and Alphabet go back on the scoreboard—not merely for the one-year contest they were chosen to play, but for the nine bonus years that followed. Which delivered? Which disappointed? And what does a decade teach us about what “low risk” really means?Five companies. One unusually short original time horizon. Ten years of actual results—and another chance to ask what we got right, what we got wrong, and what we can learn for the decade ahead.Host: David GardnerGuest: Rick MunarrizProducer: Bart ShannonCompanies Mentioned: AAPL, CNI, DIS, ECL, GOOG

10 Years Later: 5 Low-Risk Stocks for the Next Year

Every once in a while, Rule Breaker Investing sets aside the theme and embraces the hodgepodge. Something Old, something New, something Borrowed, something Blue—four directions, no particular reason they should fit together, and that’s part of the fun.

This time, a World Series champion offers a lesson about sample sizes and staying with a winning process. An old investing truth finds a new home—in exactly 350 words. Kevin Kelly makes the case for becoming the most improbable version of yourself in an increasingly predictable, AI-powered world. And then, because Blue means whatever Blue wants to mean: blueberries! Genuinely blue, surprisingly interesting, and even capable of teaching an investor a thing or two about… compounding.Baseball, bear markets, improbable lives, and blueberries. Fool on!

Old, New, Borrowed & Blue, Vol. 11

After three weeks of Authors in August, the authors step aside and Rule Breaker listeners take the conversation somewhere new.

A middle-school teacher wrestles with what happens when the measurements meant to improve education begin defining it instead. A father investing for his daughters wonders whether “Add Up, Don’t Double Down” applies to index funds. There are Rule Breaker songs, Spiffy Pops shared between old friends, and, near episode end, the Fool who originated Pet Perks returns with an audio reminder that some of life’s most valuable moments can be hiding inside the everyday hassles we’re tempted to hurry through.

August 2026 Mailbag: The Scores We Keep

Why do we work? A paycheck matters, of course. And, when so much of life is spent working, might we reasonably hope for something more?Closing out the ninth year of Authors in August, David welcomes Dave Ulrich, one of the world’s leading thinkers on organizations, leadership, and human capability. Using the longtime favorite The Why of Work as a jumping-off point, their conversation ranges widely across what gives work meaning, what great leaders understand about people, and what decades spent studying organizations have taught Dave about the ways we work—and why!

As technology transforms the workplace and old assumptions keep getting rewritten, some decidedly human questions endure. What makes work worth doing? What brings out the best in people? And how might we create workplaces that leave employees, customers, and the world better off?

Authors in August: Dave Ulrich & Why We Work

Artificial intelligence may feel suddenly everywhere, but AI pioneer Vasant Dhar has had a front-row seat for more than four decades—teaching AI, building companies around it, and bringing machine learning to Wall Street long before ChatGPT entered the conversation.

For the second week of Authors in August, David sits down with Dhar to ask not merely what machines can do, but how humans can think with them. When should we trust AI? When does it sharpen our thinking—and when does it make our brains lazy? If intelligence itself is becoming a commodity, where will tomorrow’s value be created? And in a future where machines become extraordinarily capable, what are humans for?A conversation about AI, investing, trust, judgment, and our increasingly intelligent future.

Authors in August: Vasant Dhar & “Thinking With Machines”

Authors in August is back! It’s our 9th year featuring authors of books that David loves and thinks you’ll love too.

So for the third time, philosopher and game scholar Thi Nguyen joins back with Rule Breaker Investing—and this time the conversation reaches far beyond games.

What happens when the scores we invent to measure success begin quietly reshaping what we value?

Together, in an incredibly wide-ranging discussion, David and Thi explore rankings, metrics, investing, institutions, artificial intelligence, and the subtle difference between playing a game… and letting the game play you. And we close with a rousing round, as ever, of Buy, Sell, or Hold?

Whose scorecard are you living by?

Authors in August: Thi Nguyen’s “The Score”

As Rule Breaker Investing enters its twelfth year, it is fitting to hand the microphone back to the people who have helped shape it from the very beginning: our listeners.This month’s Mailbag spans investing, artificial intelligence, financial freedom, World Cup soccer, custodial Roth IRAs, Rule Breaker stock selection… and even a soundtrack for Foolish living?! Along the way are a heartbreaking story, practical questions, imaginative ideas, and reminders that the best investing community doesn’t simply exchange stock tips—we help all of us become smarter, happier, richer. And perhaps a little wiser, too.Host: David GardnerProducer: Bart Shannon

July 2026 Mailbag: Year Twelve Begins

It’s become something of a midsummer tradition on Rule Breaker Investing: set aside the markets for a week and simply follow curiosity wherever it leads.This year’s sampler wanders through technology, sports, business, demographics, literature, and a few unexpected places in between. Along the way are thoughts about how to get the most out of AI, a few tweaks that could improve the world’s biggest sporting event, a prediction about who may be becoming the world’s most valuable people, and a dramatic reading of one of David’s favorite short stories.Two pages.Idle thoughts for you, of a summer’s day.Host: David GardnerProducer: Bart Shannon

Five Idle Thoughts of a Summer’s Day, Vol. 3

In the anxious days following Brexit, rather than predict the future, David asked a different question: Where are the opportunities? The result was a five-stock sampler built not on politics, but on optimism.Now a full decade has passed. Joined by longtime Fool Karl Thiel, we crack open the time capsule, revisit the original investment theses, score all five stocks against the market, and ask what a ten-year scorecard can teach that three years never could. Some ideas exceeded expectations. Others humbled us. All of them remind us why Rule Breakers look beyond the headlines and invest for the long haul.
