This episode kicks off with two pieces of listener mail — one on the 35 year old Big Mac Index, which gauges currency valuations off of the relative cost of a Big Mac in different countries; and wild ride the market took this week as demonstrated by Snap's earnings swing. Doogles discusses how Kansas is trying to give away free land. Skippy relates that to how Woodside, CA is claiming that their land is a mountain lion habitat. Doogles does some analysis to engrain in folks the need to stay invested — losing even just a couple of the best performing days will take a big chunk out of your investments. Skippy discusses a recent book that he didn't enjoy (The Dao of Capital), though he does think the psychology around Black Swans rasied in the book is worth while. The episode wraps talking about the Wordle acquisition, and a couple value investing-related quotes.
