This week, Emmet is joined by an absolute legend of investing — co-founder of The Motley Fool, David Gardner. David is here to discuss his new book, Rule Breaker Investing: How to Pick the Best Stocks of the Future and Build Lasting Wealth, and share a few kernels of wisdom with the Stock Club fanbase.
Way back in the 1990s, Emmet stumbled upon David and his “6 Traits of a Rule Breaker Stock,” which helped him find opportunities like Netflix and MercadoLibre. David believes those six traits are still relevant today and can help investors find the next generation of life-changing stocks, even in the age of AI and algorithmic trading.
Tune in to hear why David believes great stocks are worth holding even after they’ve reached impressive highs, the importance of optimism, and how to hold a stock when pessimism persists. This is coming from the man who held Amazon through the early 2000s and several 50%+ declines — he knows what he’s talking about.
Finally, we get to hear his favorite small-cap stock and his three “desert island” stocks. Whether you’re a new investor or an old sage of Wall Street, this episode is worth a listen.
Our Horizon portfolio is a boutique service led by our co-founder and lead investor, Emmet Savage. Emmet has built his career on finding life-changing investments and believes the next hundred-bagger is already within his holdings. According to 100-bagger expert Chris Mayer, “no one owns more 100-baggers than Emmet.”

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
