InvestED: The Rule #1 Investing Podcast

439- FROM THE VAULT: Speculating vs. Investing


Listen Later

Before purchasing a company, Rule #1 Investors conduct extensive research to ensure that the company they intend to acquire aligns with the four key principles laid out by Charlie Munger. These principles are meaning, moat, management, and margin of safety.


In this week's Vault episode, Phil and Danielle return to the topic from last week’s listener question to dive into a discussion about the distinction between investing and speculating. They also take a closer look at the concept of "risky investing" and why Rule #1 considers the term an oxymoron.
