In this episode, Joe takes a break from the usual studio setting to address the uncertainty surrounding global conflict and the impact it may—or may not—have on financial markets. Rather than focusing on politics or speculation, Joe looks at the data and historical context to help investors understand how markets have responded to geopolitical events in the past.
