Can a Time Traveler Beat the Market?

The Motley Fool
About this episode

Even knowing the headlines, could you predict which way stocks and treasuries would move?  


(00:21) Bill Mann and Dylan Lewis discuss:

- SpaceX successfully recovering rocket boosters in its flight this weekend, the company’s engineering prowess, and $200B valuation.

- Officials in China signaling more stimulus is on the way, but why investors really shouldn’t get too excited.

- A game designed to show just how hard the market makes it to peer into a crystal ball, and a surprising stat about the daily returns during a great decade for investors. 


(17:04) Motley Fool contributor, Rick Munarriz joins Ricky Mulvey for a look at the cruise industry and one long-term tailwind for its sails.
