It all started with chocolate boys, brothers David and Tom Gardner learned about the business of stock investing at the supermarket. Their dad, a lawyer and economist, told them, “Y’know the pudding you just piled into the cart?

The lesson stuck — and the pudding made kind of a mess, too. From that day forward, the brothers began to develop the beliefs that would soon become the foundation of Foolishness.
