In this episode of Going Public with Ross Mandell, Ross breaks down one of the biggest questions facing investors right now: is the stock market headed for a correction, a bear market, or a full market crash?
Ross explains why every major crash in market history starts the same way — not with fear, but with confidence. From the 1929 stock market crash and the Great Depression, to the 1973–74 bear market, Black Monday in 1987, the dot-com bubble, the 2008 financial crisis, and the COVID market crash of 2020, Ross walks through the patterns investors keep repeating.
This episode explains the difference between a pullback, a correction, a bear market, and a crash, and why understanding those differences can help investors avoid emotional decisions when volatility hits.
Ross also connects market history to today’s economy, including AI stocks, stretched valuations, interest rates, Federal Reserve policy, liquidity, inflation, narrow market leadership, and the possibility that today’s AI boom could become either a new era of productivity or another speculative bubble.
The key lesson: markets do not reward prediction — they reward preparation. Ross explains why investors should not try to call the exact top, but instead understand what they own, why they own it, and how they will react when the next market correction comes.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone trying to understand stock market crashes, market cycles, AI investing, Federal Reserve policy, investor psychology, market corrections, bear markets, and how to stay disciplined during volatility.
