Market Crashes (Is This Time Different?)

Every market drop feels different. There is always a narrative, and the narrative is often scarier than the drop itself. If we can understand the power of a compelling narrative to make us behave irrationally, we might be better equipped to make better decisions, and feel less anxious, when the stock market declines.

Notice the date this video was published. Case-in-point!

[redmalonecfa]

You might be the best investing channel on YouTube.

[jononfirebudgetinginvestin]

You are the most relatable, down to earth, and level-headed YouTube investor right now. Thanks for being a practical source for the everyday American. I needed this to keep me from panic selling.

[riorin]

1 year later here we are, well done Ben!

[jeffreybuffkin]

honestly it seems hella difficult to be coming out with such well-researched and organized content every other week

[gordngekko]

Top-notch channel which lives up to its name. Haven't seen anything close to as well-documented and thorough as this on Youtube.

"Immune to any narrative" is the best way to describe Ben Felix I've ever heard 😅

[alexistessier]

Ben, I would like to have you declared "essential service" during this pandemic.

[YoungGrizzly]

I swear these videos have a soothing effect and I'm not even worried about this drop.

[jonissesmarchadesch]

You are the reason why I started to invest and still invested in a globally diversified portfolio. Your advice have really changed my investment behavior. Thanks Ben!

[yoranbrondsema]

Thanks Ben, great video as usual. You're really doing us all an enormous favor by going through all the research and synthesizing it for us in a clear and understandable way. Thanks to you, we can spend our time on hobbies, family, friends and other things instead of plowing through the 33 pages of "Negative Bubbles: What Happens After a Crash". Please keep it up!

Had to rewatch this after the past three months. Crazy how the market soared so much over s small period of time after two months of turmoil.

[elmerdeloso]

The simplest, most rational explanation anywhere. Well worth 11 minutes of my time. Thank you again!

I think I don't need a finance advisor. But listening to your videos I can see the benefits of having one in these hard times - reassurance.

[jellovendigar]

Ben’s calm explanations are great to listen in during uncertain times

[selimeneskaraduman]

25.05.2024, All Indexes S&P500, NASDAQ-100, DOW JONES recovered. NDX almost tripled after this crash. Just keep investing!

[SoCal]

Great words Ben. People echo the "this time is different" narrative during extreme market swings, both up and down. Clear and cool headed minds always prevail. Congrats in advance on 100K subscribers. I first checked in at around 4, 000.

[HeZhiBao]

“This is why you made a plan and now is the most important time to stick to it.” Well said. Thanks for the reminder.

[jollyroger]

I am so glad to hear someone approaching this in this way. Narrative drives people not facts. We have blinded ourselves by rising intellect to a pedestal.

[Pancho]

I love how the podcast and the youtube channel always go hand in hand, great work as always!
