The Independent Advisors Podcast: Episode 373 – Why October Selloffs Rarely Last

Mark covers last week’s sharp selloff in technology and AI stocks, and why history suggests this isn’t the start of something larger: October is historically the “bear killer” month, Q4 tends to be the strongest quarter, and this bull market just hit its fourth anniversary, a milestone that has historically led to a strong fifth year. He also looks at what history says about stocks under a split Congress, how different asset classes have performed when bond yields spike, why the stock market and the economy aren’t the same thing, and a new law renaming Social Security’s key claiming ages.
