May 2026 Mailbag: Divvy-Pops, Jellybeans & the Kids of Kopachuk

What happens when Nvidia’s annual dividend suddenly exceeds David’s original Motley Fool cost basis—six times over? This month’s Mailbag brings back a Foolish old term, “divvy-pop,” while also revisiting the power of doing less, holding more, and letting great companies keep surprising you.
Also inside: a Buffett-meets-Rule-Breaker reflection from British Columbia, a jellybean contest gone mathematically sideways, a GameStop question that runs straight into the Snap Test, and a closing shout-out to Mr. Ernst’s personal finance class at Kopachuck Middle School in Gig Harbor, Washington—where the next generation is already learning that investing means ownership.
