It is amazing. The FTX Crash has caught most people off guard and many celebrities lost money too. There is word that it is one big ponzi scheme with politicians, slush funds, celebrity endorsers, and trying to expatriate SBF back to the US to face justice. This is the stuff that is Michael Lewis will be writing about in the big Short 2 (which apparently he has been embedded for the past 6 months with SBF). I do find it odd that I have not heard anyone screaming for his arrest yet. They got Bernie Madoff quickly. Why not this guy? Is there more to come? It is still too early to know all the details, but the initial reports are riveting... of course it could also be fake news.

We explore stock market expectations and how to affect your performance. Is your crystal ball a bit foggy? That uncertainty sends stock prices on a wild rollercoaster ride. Watch out for curveballs, like when interest rates and stocks go on totally different paths, making us rethink everything we thought we knew about investing. Bottom line... The market's a tricky beast, always keeping us on our toes! Today we discuss:   Volatility arises as the market reacts to unexpected news and adjusts stock prices accordingly Lower-than-expected earnings can cause a stock's price to drop, reflecting a reevaluation of its value Market volatility is driven by discrepancies between actual and expected outcomes Anomalies like mispriced stocks present opportunities for investors to capitalize on market inefficiencies Traditional assumptions about market behavior may be challenged by shifts in dynamics, such as the disconnect between interest rates and stock prices Continuous scrutiny of assumptions and adaptation to changing conditions are essential for understanding market behavior  For more information, visit the show notes at https://moneytreepodcast.com/stock-market-expectations-597   Today's Panelists: Kirk Chisholm | Innovative Wealth Douglas Heagren | ProCollege Planners Follow on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/moneytreepodcast Follow LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/showcase/money-tree-investing-podcast Follow on Twitter/X: https://x.com/MTIPodcast
