On this episode of Simply Money presented by Allworth Financial, Bob and Brian break down the market reaction to escalating conflict in the Middle East and explain why, despite headlines that feel different every time, markets price expected earnings—not emotion. They walk through the psychological biases that can push even experienced, high-net-worth investors into costly mistakes and outline what would truly signal a structural market shift. Then, they uncover a hidden tax bomb that may be lurking in your brokerage account—especially if you hold highly appreciated ETFs or concentrated company stock—and share smart, multi-year strategies to manage capital gains before they manage you.
