The most dangerous ideas in investing are the ones everyone agrees on.

Amy Ingram, host of Stray From The Herd with Clare Market Investments, explores how herd behavior and consensus thinking shape market outcomes—and often create hidden risks for investors. She breaks down why markets price in expectations ahead of reality, how widely accepted narratives can make markets fragile, and where contrarian thinking uncovers opportunity.

Using examples like the dot-com bubble, the housing crisis, and recent AI enthusiasm, this episode highlights a core principle: when everyone believes the same story, the real risk isn’t disagreement—it’s surprise. Investors who question consensus, rather than follow it, are better positioned to navigate uncertainty and find long-term opportunities.
