Expectations, Upsets, and Investing: Lessons from Baseball and the Market

In this episode of the Canadian Money Roadmap Podcast, Evan records from his mobile studio (aka his truck) and reflects on the parallels between the Toronto Blue Jays’ unexpected playoff run and the world of investing. He discusses how both sports and markets can defy expectations, the importance of managing your emotions during winning streaks, and why it’s crucial to remember that “this too shall pass”—whether times are good or bad. Evan also touches on the value of risk management, the role of cash in your portfolio, and why speculative assets like Bitcoin and gold differ from stocks and bonds. Tune in for practical advice on keeping your investment expectations realistic and building a system you can stick with through market ups and downs.
