The stock market is a wild and unpredictable place sometimes!  In this episode of Financial Clarity for Doctors, hosts Rachelle Vanderzanden and Corey Janoff chat through stock market “bubbles” and whether or not we might be in one right now.  

This episode covers: 

• The basics of a “bubble”. 

• An overview of the dot.com bubble from the late 90s/early 2000s. 

• Stock market performance and recovery times during and following this period. 

• The value of diversification. 

• Similarities and differences between the current stock market and the stock market during that period. 

• How to approach long-term investing in the wake of uncertainty. 

We don’t have a crystal ball!  Realistically, we can assign valuations to any given company, but the stock is worth whatever price a buyer and seller can agree upon.  That’s part of the reason the stock market is unpredictable, and timing the market generally does not work well.  Instead, focus on your long-term goals and come up with an allocation that makes sense for you.
