Mardi Gras Parades are Rolling While the Market Slows


Listen Later

Although we’re only 3-4% off market highs, investor sentiment has recently turned quite bearish, especially given a turbulent macro environment. We’ll look back on the first two months of the year, analyzing the fluctuations in the S&P 500, crypto, global tensions, and the reversal of inflation narratives. We’ll also examine why it feels like everything you thought you’d be bullish about under a Trump presidency, you should have been bearish about, and vice versa. Before we head out to more parades, we’ll finish by talking about the unknowns in the market and why it's important to maintain a sound strategy that's relative to your particular situation and your goals
