It's the Rule Breaker Investing Podcast with Motley Full Co-founder David Gardner.

Hi there, it's David Gardner and this is Rule Breaker Invest investing and I wanted to spend a little time today just talking about what it means to be a Rule Breaker.

I've got three basic traits that I think you and I share if we're rule breakers together.

This is about investing, of course, so that's the context that we're going to go with.

And the very first trade is, number one, that we are willing to buy a stock.

You know, if you even have capital and sadly not enough Americans do,

but if you even have capital, congratulations,

and you may well have it in funds.

That's where most Americans have their

capital who have capital. They've bought mutual funds or they've checked a box

on their 401k plan and in my mind that's a good enough answer for a lot of us.

But if you're a rule breaker, if you're going to go against the conventional wisdom,

then you probably want to amp it up a little bit more.

And I think therefore you're going to be're going to be willing to I hope even comfortable

buying a stock directly so that's trait number one naturally this is rule breaker

investing so we're going to be talking about investing in stocks my passion.

Number two, you're also going to be capital left foolish.

You're going to be going against conventional wisdom in this regard as well.

You are going to be buying a stock to hold that

stock again we live in a world where most people are not investing they're

trading if if you have friends who love the stock, a lot of them in my experience are selling too frequently.

They're in and out, they're trying to guess where the market itself is headed.
