Investors should buy ETFs and stay out of individual stock selection unless they are experts

Buy ETFs, okay? And stay out of the individual stock selection business if you're not an expert. That's what I would tell you.

Broad market ETFs generally outperform individual stock picks for most non-professional investors over the long term.

You can get rich by doubling your money every six or seven years

What you got to do is you got to double your money every six, seven years. You double your money six, seven years, by the time you get to my age, you'll be a very rich guy.

The math of compound interest is a factual law of finance.

Leaks in the White House have decreased since I was fired

We fired or resigned or got rid of four of the major, major leakers. So of course the leaks are down. Right. And if there are leaks now, because there's always leaks in the administration, there are more constructive leaks, there are more trial balloon leaks.

Leaks remained a constant and major issue for the Trump administration for the next three years.

Gender is a wide spectrum

First of all, gender is a spectrum, Kat. Don't forget that again. Gender's a very wide spectrum. ... By the time you're 40, you're going to not care about anything anymore. Just wear women's clothing. ... If I did that, I would tell you, why do I care?

This is an inherently subjective social opinion.

The Scaramucci Post will eventually turn into a revolutionary site

the Scaramucci Post is going to turn into a revolutionary site over time. And I think it will be an intersection on a highway of extremism in our polarized society. And so, you know, give it a couple months. You'll see. There'll be great things on that.

The Scaramucci Post did not become a 'revolutionary site'; it mostly remained a Twitter account and eventually pivoted into a podcast and general media presence for Scaramucci without changing the media landscape.

Millennials are less politically polarized and will save American society

I'm not blaming the millennials. I actually think the millennials are the guys that are going to save it. You guys are less politically motivated, less polarized... in general, my guess is you guys are going to do the right thing politically.

Political polarization has arguably increased significantly as millennials have aged into the primary voting demographic.

Lenny Dykstra is a genius

Let me tell you something, okay? Lenny Dykstra, no matter what he's done in his life after baseball, don't matter to me. But he's a genius. Love Lenny. He's probably an idiot savant. He's probably got some ADHD. ... Lenny Dykstra, as we called him when I was a kid, nails. ... This guy was a tough SOB.

Subjective assessment of Dykstra's intelligence and baseball IQ.

The Houston Astros bullpen had an edge over the Dodgers because they were less tired

I think the edge right now is to the Houston bullpen. That's my opinion. Even though if you look at the stats, Dodgers have a better bullpen. Dodgers have a better bullpen, but they seem more tired than the Houston bullpen.

The Astros won the World Series in Game 7, and the Dodgers' reliance on tired arms (including Kershaw in relief and Darvish's short starts) was a major storyline. The Astros bullpen held firm when it mattered.

Bobby Valentine invented the wrap sandwich

He says he did. 100%. That was at Bobby V Sports 1977, 1978. 100% he came up with that thing... Bobby V 1000% invented the wrap.

While Valentine claims to have invented the 'wrap' as a branding term in the late 70s, rolled flatbread sandwiches have existed for centuries in many cultures.

Individual investors should avoid stock selection and stick to ETFs

Buy ETFs, okay? And stay out of the individual stock selection business if you're not an expert. That's what I would tell you. ... While you guys are joking around, your listeners are right now burning into their brain the laws of compound interest. ... If you want to be rich and transform the society and transform your life, start saving some money.

This is standard financial advice that generally holds true for the vast majority of non-professional investors.
