Rule Breaker Investing

Show Notes

Some financial terms sound scarier than they are. Others sound familiar… right up until you realize you don’t actually know what they mean.This week, David returns with Volume 8 of Gotta Know the Lingo, welcoming Fool analysts Alicia Alfiere, Amanda Kish, and Nick Sciple to help translate the language of investing for the rest of us. Some terms are simpler, some more advanced, all of them useful—and if you’ve ever nodded along to financial jargon hoping nobody would ask a follow-up, this episode is for you. As always, there’s a scoring system, a little Foolish fun, and a few concepts that may stick with you longer than the ticker tape.Host: David GardnerGuests: Alicia Alfiere, Amanda Kish, Nick ScipleProducer: Bart Shannon
