How He Turned $10K Into Millions in the Stock Market (ft. Gary Vaughan, Daily Stock Picks)

In 2006, Gary Vaughan put a $10,000 signing bonus into a single stock and never sold. Today that position is worth millions. He shares the simple decision behind it and the buy-and-hold philosophy that built his wealth. He joins Gav to explain why patience and compounding beat constant trading, the Apple bet that started before he even understood investing, the mistakes he regrets most (trimming winners, trading in and out of Google), and how he thinks about risk at 56 versus what he'd tell someone in their 20s.
