Rate ShowIT'S NEVER BORING
It is one of the few podcasts I listen to regularly because it is never boring, covers key contemporary issues, and always offers something new to learn.
In this episode, they discuss Apple’s lack of growth—something that has become increasingly evident even to some of its most loyal users. This is not only due to ongoing issues with inconsistent and often underwhelming customer service—particularly the arrogance sometimes encountered in flagship stores—but also because the products no longer justify their premium prices. The quality has declined, and the lifespan of devices seems shorter than in the past.
Have you ever wondered why, when you call customer service, the recorded message includes a request to treat the representative kindly?
At this point, Apple might do well to begin offering a more competitive dividend and acknowledge that cutting corners on quality and service may boost short- to medium-term profits, but risks undermining its long-term viability.

At the top of their game
Josh and the irrelevant investor Michael are good hosts, have good guests and are at the top of their game in 2025

Best by far!
This show is by far the best podcast when it comes to what’s going on in the market. It sounds just like two guys hanging out and talking about the market but at the same time they are extremely professional and have guests that are experts in their areas

Great podcast!
I follow about 12 podcasts across diverse genres but will always listen to TCAF first because it is easily my favorite. I think Josh and Michael are smart, funny, down-to-earth and all-around entertaining!

Fun show but please keep it apolitical
I’ve been enjoying this show for the last year but the last episode certainly seemed like a political soapbox. Normally a good back-and-forth, but little pushback to the outlandish claims definitely makes it seem more politically charged than normal. Hopefully just a one-off.

Don’t invite loud partisans on!
Josh and Co do a great job and part of the reason why is they’re very good at being mostly nonpartisan. Today’s tedious Trump and Elon fanboi stump speech by Joe Lonsdale really messed up that carefully managed vibe. This guy was a gross self-promoter and basically licked Elon and Trump for 45 minutes. Gross. No helpful insights can be gained by uberpartisan kool-aid peddlers.

Loved this show but…..
I love this show one of my favorites. I like Josh ‘s honesty and directness but lately the show is getting political. Probably the compound he works with is more political than Josh Brown . If it continues I will bail ..

Mostly great
I’ve listened since the pod started. Enjoyed the show. Only criticism is their anti-Trump bias. They do their best to hide it and stay neutral but it doesn’t work. May unfollow and return next cycle.

Best Investing Show Out There
I’ve been listening to this show for years before it was rebranded as The Compound and Friends. I’m not even in the financial industry (SMB owner, own a tree service in CA) , but absolutely love every single show that comes out!
I can’t recommend this show enough; Josh and Mike you know how to put on a stellar pod! Love all the guests, love all the information and love the general vibe. I’m always excited when I see a new showing in my feed. Keep up the great work!

Throw up the Chart???
Great and insightful conversation from Josh and the team. However, they like some similar podcasts, seem to be gearing themselves towards their YouTube channel to the detriment of podcast listeners. They continuously are referencing charts they show on video that we can’t see on a podcast. Pretty frustrating experience that really distracts from an otherwise great show.

Josh is Great
I like hearing Josh’s heartfelt opinions. I don’t agree with him on politics but I always enjoy hearing others’ perspectives nevertheless. Same with hearing others’ perspectives on stocks. That’s how you learn.

Ignorance
Guys: Your show is a national treasure. Why? Because we are an uninformed society that without your opinions , facts and history telling we would remain ignorant about the workings of our nation.

Glad I found this podcast
This show is outstanding. I manage mine, mom’s, wife’s, and 2 adult kiddos accounts because we’re an old school Hispanic family from the westside of San Antonio so it has to stay in house baby. This show shares insight but more importantly the right mindset to deal.

Top Ticked
This show was amazing they would get on unique smart people with various views and lots interesting digestible information. They have put this millennial robot on the show 3 times now and find it to be a slog to listen to the episode every time. Not trying to be a hater, she seems very knowledgeable but Michael and Josh are very conversational which is needed on a podcast. That’s why everyone loves the Jill on Money episodes. Please find people that are easier to speak with and less data heads…

Salt of the earth podcast
As a professional commodities trader my urge to dabble in stocks is strong. Josh and Michael help keep me sane and informed. Their views on personal finance and the markets are distilled and long term. It is refreshing to hear calm and rational voices in the sea of noise. Thank you for entertaining me during the long hours on a trading desk.

One of a kind investing podcast
This is definitely worth listening to. I really enjoy the occasional humor and pop culture references. Josh usually brings in great guests. Unfortunately, Batnick is sometimes loud and obnoxious. He likes to interrupt people. I deducted 1 star because of him. The What Are Your Thoughts? episodes have improved recently with the regular appearances of Nick Colas from DataTrek.
