The Stacking Benjamins Show

Learning from 130 Years of Stock Market Crashes: Resilience, Strategy, and a Dose of Doug (SB1695)


Listen Later

Markets crashing? Interest rates spiking? Inflation roaring? Welcome to history. This week, we dig into 130 years of stock market meltdowns—from the panic of World War I to the Great Depression, 1970s stagflation, the dot-com collapse, and the 2008 financial crisis—to uncover timeless lessons that can fortify your financial future.

Joe Saul-Sehy is joined by Miranda Marquit, Jesse Cramer, and OG to examine how investors have historically responded to chaos... and how you should, too. You'll learn why diversification matters, why panic rarely pays, and why staying the course (even when it’s scary) can be the smartest move of all.

Of course, this wouldn't be the Stacking Benjamins Show without a trivia detour that involves mailing children through the U.S. Postal Service (yes, that happened). Buckle up for laughter, insight, and financial takeaways that are as practical as they are entertaining.

  • What WWI, the Great Depression, and 1970s inflation can teach us about investing

  • Why “The Lost Decade” wasn’t a loss for long-term thinkers

  • How to build a resilient portfolio that weathers the storm

  • Our infamous trivia game: How much could a kid weigh and still be legally mailed in the 1920s?

  • A few money-saving hacks, podcast updates, and your weekend preview from the basement

    Whether you’re a seasoned investor or just building your financial foundation, this episode will leave you smarter, more confident, and—let’s be honest—way more amused than the average market history lecture.
