With headlines dominated by geopolitical tension and dramatic market reporting, it can feel like markets are in constant crisis.

But are they really?

In this short "in-between" episode of The Retirement Lounge, Nick takes a step back from the noise and examines how headlines can distort reality.

After seeing reports claiming "$6 trillion wiped off global markets", Nick looks at the actual numbers and asks an important question: are markets really plunging, or are we simply reacting to short-term headlines?

If the news cycle has left you feeling uneasy about markets, this episode offers a much-needed dose of perspective.
