In this episode, we’re diving into one of the most important (and misunderstood) topics in the stock market: what happens when things start to go south. We break down corrections, bear markets, and recessions—and how to tell the difference between them—while also exploring whether we could be on the verge of another "lost decade" for investors.

We also take a closer look at the current disconnect between how people feel about the economy (sentiment) and what the numbers are actually showing. From cautious consumers and rising savings rates to record-high household debt and steady earnings growth, the story is more nuanced than headlines suggest.

If you're feeling uncertain about where the market is headed or what it all means for your portfolio, we’ve got you. We walk through smart investing strategies, explain the importance of asset allocation (especially as you approach retirement), and share how to stay focused when the noise gets loud.
