How Past Market Meltdowns Are Influencing You Right Now
It’s been a volatile month. And if you’re feeling the pressure, you’re not alone. But how we respond in moments like this often has roots in the crashes we’ve lived through before. In this episode, we look at how past market meltdowns shaped investor psychology, how today’s chaos might be leaving its own mark, and what lessons we can take with us to navigate what’s next.
Here’s some of what we discuss in this episode:
📉 What past crashes taught us about fear and overconfidence
🧠 Why investor behavior often matters more than the market itself
📊 Lessons from the Great Depression, 1987, dot-com bubble, and more
💥 The long shadow of 2008 and how it still shapes mindset
📺 How today's “headline risk” is fueling modern market anxiety
