Rule Breaker Investing

David Gardner · 2024

David Gardner's distilled growth investing philosophy after 30 years of market-beating returns at The Motley Fool. How to identify, buy, and hold innovative companies through years of volatility and Wall Street skepticism. Gardner recommended Amazon in 1997 at $4, Netflix in 2004, Shopify in 2016. Three decades of documented returns make this the final exam of the investor's curriculum.

The case against

Gardner's record leans on a handful of monsters, and the same method bought plenty of losers that get waved off as the cost of winning. The core advice, buy excellent companies and hold through anything, is temperament dressed as technique, and the book restates it well past usefulness. Decades of Motley Fool cheer, bound; the toolkit fits on a napkin.
