Let's travel back in time to the beginning of March 2020. COVID-19 had just taken hold of our daily lives. The stock market dropped 13%, then rose 5%, and commuters roamed the Earth. In this episode, Aaron and Trishul discuss how they feel and react to big market movements. They suggest how an asset allocation incorporating a timeframe can help you take your mind off the things you can't control. They also discuss The Hedgehog and The Fox and why people follow overconfidence and headline news when they should be applying a healthy dose of skepticism. And Aaron ends up correct that a couple of months later his focus would be on lifestyle, and not the market. Unfortunately, it also means he was wrong about playing softball in April.
