Andrew Horowitz: Interpreting Today’s Volatility

Welcome back to another episode of Wall Street Unplugged.

Last week, the S&P dropped it’s furthest since May after Donald Trump’s fiery comments about North Korea.

Global markets sold off almost immediately, only to be met with something we should be all too familiar with…

A quick recovery.

Over today’s eight-year bull market, there’s been an interesting dynamic that’s played out over and over again, helping this rally keep afloat through some questionable times.

But if it’s not Trump pushing the market higher these days… what else is there?

It’s questions and times like these that call for a real expert: A guy I can ask anything…

From dangerous “buy mode” algo’s, earnings season, and the weakening of the US dollar… to the parabolic climb of bitcoin, and how to protect yourself from recent volatility…

Today’s guest and I discuss every corner of the market.

Good Investing,

Frank Curzio
