Why did the S&P 500 surge in 2025 when almost everyone predicted trouble?
This video breaks down why market forecasts failed — and what investors should learn from it.

If you judged the stock market by how it felt in early 2025, you would have expected a rough year. Trade wars, inflation fears, recession warnings, and bearish forecasts dominated headlines. Yet the S&P 500 delivered nearly a 19% total return, while international markets climbed close to 30%.

In this episode, we look at why professional market predictions were so far off — and why confident forecasts so often fail. From tariff panic and inflation scares to concerns about global growth and the U.S. dollar, this video shows how markets climb a “wall of worry” far more often than they collapse.

You’ll also see real data on how inaccurate Wall Street forecasts have been over the past decade and why relying on predictions can lead investors to make costly mistakes. Instead of guessing where markets are headed in 2026, we explore how history, innovation, and long-term discipline create opportunity even during uncertainty.

If you’re an investor trying to make sense of market volatility, this video will help you understand what really drives long-term returns — and why fear-based forecasting rarely works.
