Summary

As November comes to a close and Thanksgiving arrives, our Mailbag is brimming! From Gratitude Challenge triumphs to a brand-new five-stock sampler, from Winter Soldier fortitude to navigating concentrated positions, inheritance questions, regrets, and remarkable investing wins—this month’s notes run deep and wide. David is joined by Andy Cross and Robert Brokamp to explore strategies for retirement withdrawals, building children’s portfolios, and managing dominant holdings, while also celebrating generosity, unity, and candle-lighting stories from across the Fool community. It’s a warm, thoughtful Mailbag to close the month—and a reminder of why this community is such a joy to read and host each year.

0:00.0	As November winds down and the last of the pumpkin pie disappears, the mailbag grows, apparently stronger than ever.
0:07.9	Because this month, my friends, we may have set an all-time rule breaker record 11 mailbag items, 11.
0:15.8	From your gratitude challenge stories, which have been wonderful to read, to a listener's brand new five-stock
0:21.2	sampler, this mailbag is overflowing. So let's turn the page on another month. Let's open the
0:27.5	mail together. Let's celebrate the ideas, the reflections, and Rule Breaker's spirit that you
0:33.1	bring to this podcast every time you write in. Only on this week's Rule Breaker Investing.
0:41.4	It's the Rule Breaker Investing podcast with Motley Full co-founder, David Gardner.
0:49.8	Welcome back to Rule Breaker Investing. A delight to have you with me this busy, busy week.

1:39.4	Before we get started, let me mention December. Games are always a theme for this podcast, especially in the
1:45.5	month of December. Next week's show is my annual Games, Games, Games podcast. It will be Volume 7,
1:53.0	the 7th annual buyer's guide for tabletop games, cooperative games, competitive, strategy,
2:00.4	word games. The list goes on. You know I love
2:03.2	games. And once a year at least, but always the first week of December, we talk about games that I
