We're back with an old fashioned Equity Mates chat! Ren and Bryce go through recent earnings season and look at the companies and the stories that leap out to them. Then we talk to Liam, an Equity Mate who wants to talk through the thinking of buying a thematic ETF, versus just buying the individual stocks that you're passionate about, and then Alex called in to ask Ren about whether he should keep bothering to read The Intelligent Investor.
