The Independent Advisors Podcast: A friendly bet - Here's how it turned out!
08/15/2025

A few episodes back, Matt and Mark discussed how market forecasts and predictions can mislead investors and harm their mindset. The truth is, no one can say with certainty where the stock market will go. In fact, Mark joked that his 2-year-old daughter, Mia, has just as good a shot at predicting the market’s year-end 2025 performance as any professional. That led to a friendly bet—Mia would make her own forecast for the end of 2025. Here’s how it turned out.
