Dan's been ranting about excess in the stock market for ages. And today, he's found the perfect example... when earlier this week one of the least innovative businesses in recent memory soared over 1,400% thanks to some surprising news.
Then on this week's interview, Dan welcomes guest Amity Shlaes on to the show. Amity chairs the Board at the Calvin Coolidge Presidential Foundation, famous for sponsoring the Coolidge Scholarship, a full academic scholarship for academic merit.
Amity has written five books, four of which are New York Times Best Sellers, including The Great Society: A New History, The Forgotten Man, Coolidge, and The Greedy Hand. Dan and Amity discuss several of her books and how the historical episodes she writes about are instructive for investors today.
And finally on the mailbag, one listener asks Dan... what's going on with silver? And another listener asks, Dan, you've been right on so many calls... why aren't you more aggressive?
