Tucker the intern is in rewinding to another classic episode:

It's a special Short Stack today, because OG's in the basement (on a Friday!) and he's answering your questions. So we tackle a BUNCH of letters on today's show. You'll love it. We'll talk about adding dividends to your portfolio, give you our thoughts about the Folio investing system and discuss individual stocks in general.

Then we'll turn briefly to loan sharks from Poland.

BUT we turn back on our thinking caps and tackle a question from a listener who wants to know about pension options. If you have a pension we'll talk about how to calculate whether it's better to take a lump sum or the pension.

Finally, we tackle mortgages. Which one's better....a 15 or 30?

Tucker rewinds to early 2014 for this classic:
