In the common parlance of Wall Street, a "story stock" is one for which the numbers may not have arrived yet, but the narrative has, and it's compelling enough to make investors buy essentially on spec. But from the perspective of Motley Fool co-founder David Gardner, every addition a Foolish investor makes to their portfolio has a story behind it, and on this episode of Rule Breaker Investing, he invites several of our analysts into the studio to share some of their favorites.
In this segment, Brendan Mathews -- a member of the Stock Advisor research team, and the portfolio lead for Odyssey 2 and Supernova -- talks about the lessons one can learn from the tale of Canadian National (NYSE:CNI), a Stock Advisor recommendation since 2008. One might expect a railroad company to be a steady, predictable performer, but its stock chart looks more like a roller coaster over that period. (And, as a bonus, they also chat a bit about the story of salesforce.com (NYSE:CRM), so stick around to the end.)
