Episode: 10-6-25 Bear Market Losses - The Dangerous Illusions Investors Fall For
Description: Investors often believe that when markets “recover,” their portfolios do too — but that’s a dangerous illusion. In this episode, Lance Roberts breaks down why percentage losses and gains are not symmetrical, and how a 50% loss requires a 100% gain just to break even.
