Summary

Remember when Motley Fool newsletters were printed on paper and sent not to your inbox but to your mailbox? If so, thank you! You've been with us for a long time. If not, you may have missed out on some great stock returns (though we believe future returns will be just as great). And you might have missed out on some great stories and lessons, printed on page one of those old paper newsletters. This is the series where we bring these essays back, warts and all, to see what we were thinking, how things might have changed, and mostly, what can we learn going forward.

Host: David Gardner
Producers: Heather Horton, Rick Engdahl
