How might getting “upstream” today make tomorrow better?

Market Cap Game Show: What’s Rare Earth Worth?
Price per share is only half the story. Multiply it by shares outstanding and you get the number that matters: market capitalization, the market’s current price tag on a public company. And for the 43rd time, it’s time to turn that lesson into a game. David welcomes Motley Fool analyst Yasser El-Shimy and longtime Fool producer and personality Mac Greer for ten companies spanning cloud software, credit cards, Norwegian energy, sleep apnea, community banking, rare-earth minerals, biotech real estate, and 78,000 miles of pipelines. Along the way: two Throwdowns, the King-Sharon rule, some company-history surprises—and a coveted future seat in the March Market Cap Madness Final Four hanging in the balance. As always, the most important contestant is you. Agree or disagree with the stated ranges, risk the extra half-point by calling higher or lower when you dare, keep your own score—and see whether you can beat the Fools.

ChatGPT Asks & David Answers, Vol. 4
ChatGPT is back on the mound, David is back in the batter’s box, and for the first time in more than a year it’s time for five fresh pitches.This time, the questions aren’t quizzes—they’re provocations. What advantages did David have as an investor at 30 that he no longer has at 60—and what has he gained in return? Which Rule Breaker principle might prove less durable over the decades ahead? What could the future price of a single company tell us about the future of the world? And when two very different kinds of Rule Breakers compete for one spot in your portfolio, which way do you swing? Five questions designed to challenge assumptions, expose blind spots, summon a few strange hypotheticals, and perhaps produce an answer or two David himself didn’t know he had.ChatGPT asks. David answers. Five questions, five swings. Play ball!

10 Years Later: 5 Low-Risk Stocks for the Next Year
en years ago, amid plenty of bearish sentiment, David did something unique in the history of his 5-Stock Samplers: he picked five stocks specifically to beat the market over just the next year. The common denominator? Each ranked among the lowest-risk companies in his investing universe.A decade later, Rick Munarriz joins him to fire up the time machine. Apple, Canadian National Railway, Disney, Ecolab, and Alphabet go back on the scoreboard—not merely for the one-year contest they were chosen to play, but for the nine bonus years that followed. Which delivered? Which disappointed? And what does a decade teach us about what “low risk” really means?Five companies. One unusually short original time horizon. Ten years of actual results—and another chance to ask what we got right, what we got wrong, and what we can learn for the decade ahead.Host: David GardnerGuest: Rick MunarrizProducer: Bart ShannonCompanies Mentioned: AAPL, CNI, DIS, ECL, GOOG Learn more about your ad choices.

Old, New, Borrowed & Blue, Vol. 11
Every once in a while, Rule Breaker Investing sets aside the theme and embraces the hodgepodge. Something Old, something New, something Borrowed, something Blue—four directions, no particular reason they should fit together, and that’s part of the fun. This time, a World Series champion offers a lesson about sample sizes and staying with a winning process. An old investing truth finds a new home—in exactly 350 words. Kevin Kelly makes the case for becoming the most improbable version of yourself in an increasingly predictable, AI-powered world. And then, because Blue means whatever Blue wants to mean: blueberries! Genuinely blue, surprisingly interesting, and even capable of teaching an investor a thing or two about… compounding.Baseball, bear markets, improbable lives, and blueberries. Fool on!

August 2026 Mailbag: The Scores We Keep
After three weeks of Authors in August, the authors step aside and Rule Breaker listeners take the conversation somewhere new. A middle-school teacher wrestles with what happens when the measurements meant to improve education begin defining it instead. A father investing for his daughters wonders whether “Add Up, Don’t Double Down” applies to index funds. There are Rule Breaker songs, Spiffy Pops shared between old friends, and, near episode end, the Fool who originated Pet Perks returns with an audio reminder that some of life’s most valuable moments can be hiding inside the everyday hassles we’re tempted to hurry through.

Authors in August: Dave Ulrich & Why We Work
Why do we work? A paycheck matters, of course. And, when so much of life is spent working, might we reasonably hope for something more?Closing out the ninth year of Authors in August, David welcomes Dave Ulrich, one of the world’s leading thinkers on organizations, leadership, and human capability. Using the longtime favorite The Why of Work as a jumping-off point, their conversation ranges widely across what gives work meaning, what great leaders understand about people, and what decades spent studying organizations have taught Dave about the ways we work—and why! As technology transforms the workplace and old assumptions keep getting rewritten, some decidedly human questions endure. What makes work worth doing? What brings out the best in people? And how might we create workplaces that leave employees, customers, and the world better off?
