This June, ChatGPT took its first swing with five big questions about Rule Breaker Investing, and a new episodic series was born. Now, we’re back for Volume 2—with a baseball twist! ChatGPT pitches David five questions, each a unique pitch type:

1. Hardball: What separates Rule Breakers built to last from those destined to fizzle out?

2. Softball: Can David sum up Rule Breaker Investing in one sentence?

3. Curveball: What would make him rethink a long-term winner?

4. Screwball: Is there a traditional investing rule David (begrudgingly) respects?

5. Knuckleball: If he could pass on just one Rule Breaker principle, what would it be?

Come for the hardball, stay for the knuckleball!
