190. January 2026 Mailbag


Listen Later

We open the mailbag to answer your questions on whether Life Insurance Retirement Plans (LIRPs) are a scam, if spending millions on a Super Bowl commercial is ever a good idea (looking at you, CrowdStrike), and if equal-weight S&P 500 ETFs are the best way to hedge against a tech crash. Plus, we debate the future of the energy sector, discuss the power of "stock cannibals" like Adobe and PayPal, and reveal the two stocks we think could generate life-changing returns over the next 15 years.
