Episode Description from the Publisher

"If you can’t handle losing 30% to 50% of your stock’s value, then investing might not be for you." In this episode of Market Moment, Matt, John, and Isaac confront the psychological reality of that famous Peter Lynch quote. With the current volatility surrounding the conflict in Iran and the subsequent market pullback, they discuss the difference between "agreeing" with volatility in a bull market versus "living" through it during a drawdown.  They also tackle a high-priority community FAQ: How to protect against Sequence of Return Risk. If you are nearing retirement, the timing of a market dip matters just as much as the dip itself.    KEY TOPICS COVERED 📌 Market Moment Headlines: Analyzing the recent pullback and the Iran conflict’s impact on sentiment. 📌 Sequence of Return Risk: Why "timing" is the greatest threat to a retirement portfolio. 📌 Staying Rational: Strategies for maintaining a long-term perspective during geopolitical unrest.   The chart Isaac references: “Who is affected by the sequence of returns?” by John Hancock Investment Management   https://www.jhinvestments.com/resources/all-resources/business-building/sequence-of-returns    Enjoyed the episode?
