This week’s Money Talks is a little different.

Rather than my usual essay, I’m sharing a rare, “no holds barred” interview I did with Dan Ferris on the Stansberry Investor Hour podcast last fall.

Last week, I introduced you to the idea of a “position audit.” Using this strategy is as simple as taking a hard look at each of your investments and deciding if they still deserve a place in your portfolio.

That’s because a position audit forces you to be objective and

Earlier this year, I shared some simple guidelines for identifying “forever stocks.” That’s my name for high-quality businesses that are likely to survive and thrive over the long run, regardless of what happens in the markets or the economy along the way. These qualities make forever stocks fantastic long-term investments. However, they can also give you tremendous peace of mind during periods of market turmoil like we’ve experienced this year. Given the risks of further “tough sledding” in stocks, I’d like
