Listen "187. What is Your Investing Echo Chamber?"
Episode Synopsis
We kick off 2026 by auditing our own 2025 portfolio performance, where Jeff confesses to trailing the market by 3% and Jason explains why his 401(k) only returned 9% (and why he is perfectly okay with that). We also discuss why Jason's "boring" dividend portfolio outperformed the AI-driven market, and explore the dangers of "investing echo chambers".01:32 Reflecting on 2025: Portfolio Performance04:30 Jeff's Personal Investment Breakdown14:22 Jason's Investment Strategy and Performance23:25 Transitioning Investments to Bonds and Cash24:21 Building a High-Yield Dividend Portfolio26:13 Reflecting on Investment Performance28:41 The Importance of Long-Term Investment Perspective31:13 Analyzing Stock Picking Strategies34:44 Echo Chambers in Stock PickingCompanies mentioned: BEP, BIP, BRK.B, CTRE, GOOGL, KNSL, MELI, NOW, NTB, PSX, PYPL, RKLB, S, SPG, TFSL, TSM, TTDFind where to listen & subscribe, portfolio contests, and contact information at https://investingunscripted.com*****************************************To get 15% off any paid plan at fiscal.ai, visit https://fiscal.ai/unscriptedListen to the Chit Chat Stocks Podcast for discussions on stocks, financial markets, super investors, and more.
