The market continued its decline this month, and there’s no denying that it hurts. Maybe that’s why Fools are so focused on optimism and consistency in investing. The market goes up more than it goes down, after all!

David Gardner: Thanks to longtime listener and fellow Fool Jason Moore. I spent 28 minutes this week relistening to my podcast from November 25th, 2015. It was a mailbag reflecting on the month that was that had been November 2015. Do you remember that month? No? Well, the reason that I do is that Jason pointed out it was my very first mailbag, my very first time programming for this podcast. Not what I wanted to do; not what was on my mind, but what was on yours. That you shared through emails or tweets with me doing my best to respond. Well, I closed that podcast almost seven years ago wondering whether we’d ever do it again? Saying it’s pretty much all up to you. If you liked it, well you did let me know in those following weeks that it was worthy. So we ended that next month, December 2015, with a mailbag, and in fact, every month since including May 2022 only on this week’s Rule Breaker Investing.
Welcome back to Rule Breaker Investing. Looking back on the month that was, it was a shorter month for podcasts; for this podcast anyway, just three weeks proceeded. This week’s podcast we kicked off this month with a reviewapalooza looking back at stocks picked in April’s past, April 2021, 2020, 2019. Ouch, is a good way to summarize that particular podcast. A week after that, it was what you have learned from me, Volume 3. It was my birthday week and lots of great notes and an opportunity for me to summarize some of the key learnings and key takeaways from longtime listeners in order that new listeners might get up to speed. Then last week it was the 14th in my long-running series, Great Quotes.
It was Great Quotes Volume 14, a smorgasbord of quotes, but that’s typically how they are; five quotes at a time. I want to kick off this mailbag with some Twitter hot takes reacting to some of those. @Craig’s Brain, that’s Craig Hawkins on Twitter. Craig, you wrote, “Rational optimism is the Motley Fool trade I admire most. I wanted to incorporate that into my life even more than I want good investing advice though, it’s great to get both.” Well, thank you for that Craig. Rational optimism …….
