Bertie's College Visit: Reflecting on Markets and Memories
Bertie, missing college, visited a campus for a history of investing course.
The course discussed how the stock market reacts to big events.
It's tough to make money from these events because the market's response isn't always what you expect.
For example, after Brexit and Trump's election, the market did the opposite of what many thought.
Even a recent rate cut in India caused bond prices to move unexpectedly.
Markets are complex and influenced by many factors, not just one big event.
