I enjoy the way David explains how markets and financial concepts work and how to apply common sense ideas to investing. David has a soothing style that interjects thought-provoking ideas, concepts, and entertaining stories on broader topics that intertwine with life and investing.

I get the most value from the way you put me at ease about my investments and to not worry about it or make any drastic changes, especially when there are significant global events.
