I hope you had a wonderful week!

Since it’s a holiday week and I’m sure you’ve gotten plenty of emails, I’ll keep it short and sweet.

Before we get to the week that was in investing, we have an advertising partner this week!👇

I’ve been living in the Quartr app all earnings season because it’s the easiest access to conference calls and company presentations. If you follow the market closely, this is a must-have.

In case you missed it

Here’s some of the content I put out this week. Enjoy!

  • Is Cruise In Trouble?: Kyle Vogt stepped down as the CEO of Cruise late last weekend after the company’s vehicles were pulled from the road. It appears GM is taking a more hands-on approach to the company, but what’s the future?

  • Matterport Spotlight: The latest spotlight article is out.

  • 5 Dividend Stocks You Should Own: Dividends aren’t all created equal and these are five investors should love.

  • 3 Stocks That Could 10x Or More: Asymmetric Investing is all about finding high-growth companies that can crush the market and these three are a great place to start.

3 Investing Books For Your Holiday Shopping List

If you’re looking to become a better investor this holiday season, here are three books to check out. They’ve been influential in my thinking and helped put theory behind the success and failure of investing.

  1. The Psychology of Money by Morgan Housel: I’m biased because Morgan and I worked together for a long time but I think this is one of the more important (and easiest) reads about investing and money. It’s not about how stocks go up or down, it’s about what goes on inside your head.

  2. Built to Last by Jim Collins: This book is a series of comparisons between two seemingly similar companies but one succeeds and the other flounders. I first read this in the early 2000s, so the examples are aging, but this is a great look at the nuance in business that drives value long-term for investors.

  3. The Innovator’s Dilemma by Clayton Christensen: How do rational decisions drive companies to their own demise? Christensen puts theory and practice to work in a book you need to understand if you invest in technology stocks.

Happy reading!
