March 2026 Mailbag: Habits, Hacks & “Boom”

About this episode

In this episode, listeners' questions lead to discussions on investment strategies, habits, and a unique Google News hack.

March Madness may be over, but the Mailbag is just beginning—and as always, you’re the star of the show. This month we hear from listeners who tracked the data on our Market Cap Game Show strategies (does “always disagree”… really work?), revisit a thoughtful challenge from Professor Jason Corso on whether Rule Breaker Investing is built on habits, recipes, or something closer to an algorithm, pick up a clever Google News hack that lets you see the world through another country’s headlines, and yes… return to Pet Peeves territory with a “Bamm!” vs. “Boom!” breakdown of locker room acoustics. Along the way, we touch on how we think, how we learn, and how we behave—in markets and in life.And we close with one Fool’s simple question: Does the Snap Test apply… beyond stocks?
