In this Halloween edition of The Edit, we’re talking about something truly scary: a stock market crash. We look at historic market swoons, how long they took to recover, why missing the rebound can be so costly—and most importantly, what to do when the next one comes.
Episode quotes:
1. “Sometimes the scariest thing about a market crash is what you do during it.”
2. “Selling doesn’t make risk disappear. It simply changes the costume.”
3. “The best days don’t politely wait around for the ghosts to disappear. They show up while everyone is still scared.”
4. “You need to know when to get out, and you need to know when to get back in.”
5. “If your plan hasn’t changed, sometimes the hardest decision is also the simplest. Don’t touch the dial.”
