Stock Club · #315: How to Invest Through Booms, Busts & Bubbles (w/ Ben Carlson) · 11 Jun 2026 podcast

I talk about in the book how I had my fund account, and I was trying to do all these things where I would raise cash and then I would try to invest at certain times, and I realized, oh, if I would have just left it alone, all this stuff that I'm doing, it was kind of all for nothing.

I should have just left it alone and let it grow and not be paying attention as much.

So, I think it's a good benchmark for your investing skills and how you're doing.

Oh, I did read that.

I don't know if I had that one, but I did read that.

Yeah, you're right.

And I know plenty of people who pick stocks because they love following companies.

They love following the quarterly reports and the stuff that analysts are asking and the stuff that the corporate leaders are saying.

I think it makes a lot of sense if you size it correctly.

As someone who's studied history, it's hard to not compare it to the booms of the past.

I've been doing that a lot on my blog.

I compared the NASDAQ 100 over the last 10 years compared to the roaring 20s and Japan in the 1980s and the NASDAQ and the dot-com bubble.

it's kind of approaching that territory in terms of the gains, which is pretty wild to see.

And obviously, you see some of these stock charts of semiconductors and chip makers that just go vertical.

Yeah, you're talking about these trillion-dollar IPOs.

It is pretty crazy.

It's a fun time to follow markets.

As someone who just enjoys the markets, right now is a fun time to pay attention, because it seems like there's just so much stuff happening.

We had news yesterday that Berkshire Hathaway is investing in an equity stake in Google.

Google is selling stock.
