203. April 2026 Mailbag


Listen Later

In this April 2026 Mailbag, Jason and Jeff tackle a massive listener question about portfolio concentration in retirement, debating the merits of holding onto tiny "VC-minded" positions like Warby Parker and QuantumScape versus consolidating into bigger winners. They also provide an update on the "boring" but beautiful Brookfield Infrastructure, exploring its pivot toward modern assets like semiconductor fabs and its impressive 17-year streak of dividend increases. Later, they unpack the nuances of the private credit scare—and why major banks might have more exposure than investors realize.
