Stock Club · #315: How to Invest Through Booms, Busts & Bubbles (w/ Ben Carlson) · 11 Jun 2026 podcast

Why can't I do that without understanding like what it took to get there for that person, like the sort of ups and downs they had to go through emotionally, the kind of person they are.

So I think, I think just understanding yourself is, is kind of job one and which emotions are going to impact you the most.

Cause it's, it's different for different people.

It took a long time for the light bulb to go off to figure out what works for me.

But you're right, no one on Instagram ever shows the worst version of their lives.

Everyone shows the best version.

There's so much survivorship bias in the person who hit the lottery ticket stock.

and like made 1000% in a year, you hear those stories.

You never hear the story about the person who tried it and failed, right?

Or the person who bought the stock, but then it shot up 20% and they sold and they missed out on the rest of the game, right?

I think those are the hard stories is that you don't really see all the struggles and the bad side of things.

Yeah, it's interesting.

Right now, one of the things is that you still have to actually grow your portfolio.

People are living longer than ever.

In the past, people didn't live quite as long, and they didn't have to plan for as much in retirement.

200 years ago, the retirement plan was, you worked on the farm until you died.

You didn't really have retirement.

Then it was, people were really unhealthy, and they didn't wear sunscreen, and they smoked their whole lives, and they would have, I don't know, 10 good years in retirement or something.

Now, we're talking 20, 30, 35 years in retirement.

So, you have to balance out the need for some stability in the short-term for your spending.
