What Market Volatility Really Means (Ep. 23)
Volatility gets a bad reputation, but is it really something to fear?
Is the market truly unpredictable, or are we just reacting to the wrong signals? What if understanding volatility could help you make better, calmer financial decisions?
In this episode, Nick Russell and Becky Wagoner talk about the misunderstood concept of market volatility, how it impacts emotional decision-making, and what historical data reveals about long-term investing. They explain how staying grounded and informed can lead to better outcomes in retirement planning.
Nick and Becky discuss:
- How “market volatility” is often mischaracterized and misused in the media to provoke fear
- Why emotional reactions to market shifts can lead to harmful decisions, such as overtrading or poorly timed exits
- Long-term S&P 500 performance data showing that most years yield gains, reinforcing the importance of staying invested
- Behavioral finance principles like loss aversion, overconfidence bias, and herding, and how they shape investor behavior
- How understanding normal market patterns can help pre-retirees and retirees plan more confidently for their financial future
- And more!
