Are markets really pricing in reality when global tensions are rising and uncertainty is everywhere?

If you’ve been relying on the efficient market hypothesis to understand the stock market, recent events might feel confusing or even contradictory. With ongoing global conflict, supply chain disruptions, and inflation concerns, you’d expect markets to react differently—yet they continue climbing. This episode breaks down that disconnect and challenges long-held assumptions.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

1. Why the efficient market hypothesis may not fully explain today’s stock market behavior
2. How global conflict and delayed information impact market reactions
3. A new way to think about uncertainty, expectations, and pricing in modern markets

Listen now to rethink how the stock market really responds to global conflict—and what that means for your decisions.
