This week, Jeff and Jason each bring a stock to the show that they're holding on a very short leash. Neither has delivered the expected returns, and there are some signs that things could get worse before getting better. To both hold ourselves accountable, and help you, dear listener, build your own investing framework and hold yourself accountable, we allow ourselves to be interviewed by one another to dig into why we bought these stocks, why we continue to own them, and what we have learned. In the second part of the show, we give an update on the 2024 Investing Unscripted Portfolio Contest! We have a listener who owes Jason a favorite charity so he can make his $50 donation in your honor.
