Then we rewind to Tuesday’s Spiel, in which Adnan Syed is freed.

Motley Fool Money - Morgan Housel on Inflation, Incentives, and Investing through Bear Markets

“No one's success is proven until they've survived a calamity.”

You can’t join the NBA with a few good shots, but you can join the ranks of “great” investors. Luck and skill are much harder to separate in the financial world and making that distinction can take a few decades. Chris Hill talked with best-selling author Morgan Housel in front of a live audience about: - Why inflation is so personal and variable - Elon Musk’s best product (hint: it’s not a car) - The power of incentives - The secret to 99% of Warren Buffet’s success - Investing through bear markets

Companies mentioned: BRK.A, BRK.B, HOOD, TSLA

If you're a member of any Motley Fool service you can access the video for the full interview here: https://www.fool.com/premium/coverage/4056/coverage/2022/08/31/wealth-greed-and-happiness-with-best-selling-autho   Host: Chris Hill Guest: Morgan Housel Producer: Ricky Mulvey Engineer: Dan Boyd
