I recently dug up an old video I made nearly two years ago on the Upside YouTube channel. If I remember correctly, that video took me a full month to complete.
Most of that time wasn’t spent filming, but researching the fundamental nature of the three classic phases of financial markets. I went through countless interviews, analyses, and sources. Then came post-production, where our media team experimented with a documentary-style format inspired by Netflix… 😅
The video was born out of curiosity: What actually triggers a market to go parabolic? And what ignites a full-scale collapse? I believe these questions matter because they give you a stronger framework to observe and evaluate where the market sits within a cycle. And frankly, it feels especially relevant right now.
I hope the video gives you that weekend Netflix feeling, while also leaving you with something genuinely useful. The link to the video is embedded directly in the image above.
But wait. Before watching it, let’s first walk through some of the key observations and perspectives from this week.
