67. Is Being A Lazy Stock Picker Better?

Being an active investor is hard. The reality is, humans are wired to do something. It's hard to stand by while our portfolios are doing, well whatever, and not feel the need to act. Stocks going up? Sell to lock in gains. Or maybe buy more! It's going up, after all! Stocks falling? Sell to cut the losses. Or maybe buy more! It's going to go back up, after all! But none less than Warren Buffett has made the case for being a lazy investor. He once wrote, "Benign neglect, bordering on sloth, remains the hallmark of our investment process," after all. But is Buffett really being slothful? And is the lazy approach really the right way to go? Jason and Jeff hash it out in this episode. In the second part of the show, we wade into companies and social issues. What's an investor to do if a company takes a stand on a social issue? What if it backfires? Is there a right way to approach it or think about it as an investor? Jeff and Jason firmly grab the third rail of investing and talk through this subject.
