25 Reader Questions, Answered

25 questions answered from you the readers

Every year I ask you to send me questions. Every year you blow me away with how many you send.

This year was no different. I got a flood of them. Investing questions, personal questions, Wisconsin questions, bourbon questions, questions I never expected to answer in a newsletter. I read every single one.

I couldn’t fit all of them in here. If yours didn’t make the cut, don’t worry. You’ll get a direct email from me with your answer. I don’t leave anyone hanging.

For the 25 that made it in, I kept nothing off limits. My worst investment year ever. The one stock I said I’d never sell and what would actually change my mind. A financial mistake I’ve never written about before. My go-to bourbon. Where my wife and I actually go on date night, a spot most of you have never heard of. What keeps me up at night about this bull market. And a rapid fire round from a reader who clearly wanted to have some fun with me.

Let’s get into it.
