Show Notes

Some economic measures are indicators for investors, others are red herrings. We unpack why gross domestic product is a sign of economic growth, but not always shareholder returns.  

(00:12) Buck Hartzell and Dylan Lewis discuss:

- What’s behind the sudden interest in China’s Shanghai Composite and its 20% run in September.

- Research showing that high GDP growth doesn’t always turn into strong market returns for investors outside the U.S.

- What to look for internationally, and why DLocal is a great small cap to study.

(20:52) Can you find friends on a dating app? Platonic friends, that is. Mary Long caught up with Motley Fool Senior Analyst Alicia Alfiere for a look at Bumble, a dating app company that recently changed a foundational feature and is looking for growth in the friendship market.
