Then 20 listener questions such as DRIP strategy, milestone celebrations, renewables vs. oil and gas, European dividend stocks Americans overlook, withholding tax, using AI in your investment process, insurance entry points, Rubis (RUI.PA), and whether Wero poses any real threat to Visa (V) and Mastercard (MA).
