Speculation vs. Investment: Is There Room for a Little Gamble?
Description
In this episode of Intelligent Investment Today, host David Coombs steps outside the typical boundaries of value investing to explore a surprising topic: intelligent speculation. While speculation is often seen as the antithesis of value investment—as famously defined by Benjamin Graham—David asks whether there’s ever room for a small, controlled gamble in a disciplined investor’s portfolio.
From defining what truly separates investment from speculation, to sharing a personal story about backing a favorite newspaper, this episode examines whether speculation can be reframed as a recreational pursuit rather than a financial strategy. Tune in to hear how to keep speculation fun, affordable, and safely isolated from your serious investment efforts.
