About this episode

David Gardner and Tim Beyers revisit five companies picked a decade ago to evaluate their performance and the lessons learned.

What happens when you actually do the thing most investors only talk about… and hold stocks for a full decade? This week, David welcomes The Motley Fool’s Tim Beyers and together they go back exactly 10 years—to the week—to revisit five companies picked in May 2016, scoring how they really did and, more importantly, asking why. From biotech to big data to media to real estate, this episode is about both the scoreboard and the lessons only time can teach. If you’ve ever wondered what a true 10-year mindset looks like—voilà.
