MINISODE: When Stock Markets Dip and Bounce Back

In March of 2020, we saw the stock market tumble 30% in one month. In the following few months, we’ve gained most of that back. What is happening??

In this minisode (seriously, it’s less than three minutes!), Dustin recaps what a stock actually is — in case you’ve forgotten amidst all the panicked COVID-19 stock market talk — and how stocks are bought and sold. He discusses how people’s emotions cause those peaks and valleys in the stock market, and how you can avoid that dangerous herd mentality when it comes to your own investing.
