Welcome back to Carson’s Take Five with Ryan Detrick, Chief Market Strategist, and Sonu Varghese, VP, Global Macro Strategist. This week, the duo leans into the spooky season to ask whether there are “monsters under the bed” for investors. Despite market worries and talk of volatility, Ryan and Sonu point out that the fundamentals remain strong. They remind listeners that short-term fear often overshadows long-term opportunity and that volatility is simply the toll investors pay for market growth.
