Is successful investing about skill or simply being lucky? In this St. Patrick’s Day–themed episode, the conversation explores the popular idea of “luck” in investing and why relying on it can be risky. Scott explains how many investors mistake lucky outcomes- like a winning stock pick or perfectly timed trade- for strategy. Instead, he highlights the value of discipline, diversification, and a long-term process.

Here’s some of what we discuss in this episode:

🍀 Luck vs. strategy in investing – Why lucky outcomes can mislead investors into risky habits

📉 The danger of stock picking and market timing

🧭 Why successful investors follow a plan instead of chasing trends

📊 Diversification and rebalancing – Core practices that improve long-term results

⏳ The power of compounding – Staying invested allows dividends and growth to quietly build wealth over time
