Market Volatility in 2025: Opportunity or Panic?

March 20, 2025 • Tim Dyer

Tariffs, stock markets, international geopolitical events. They all seem to be coming to a head, and we're starting to get a lot of questions about what could go wrong rather than what may have been going right. On today's show, we want to put some of these topics into context and give you an idea on where some of the potential opportunities may be moving forward.

We’ll take a look at historical data and help put this volatility into context. Along the way, we’ll discuss the biggest market myths, how tariffs, government policies, and global events are affecting investor sentiment, and why long-term investing still works despite short-term fluctuations. Plus, we’ll explain the difference between pullbacks, corrections, and bear markets, and why staying invested is key to capturing growth.

Here’s some of what we discuss in this episode:

📉 Market Volatility Explained – What’s happening & why it’s not unusual
