Fear Sells, Perspective Wins with Rana Chauhan – Part 1 (Ep. 60)

Fear sells, but demand drives results.

In this episode, John and Alex Soutsos speak with Rana Chauhan, President and Chief Investment Strategist at Victory Hill Capital, about how media narratives influence investor behavior and why perspective matters most when headlines get loud. They discuss how modern news cycles and fear-based storytelling can push investors into poorly timed decisions, and why adaptability, demand, and long-term thinking can be more helpful than short-term predictions.

 John, Alex, and Rana discuss:

  • Why media narratives have more influence on markets today than ever before
  • How outdated valuation models struggle to explain modern innovation
  • Fear-driven headlines, investor psychology, and why bad news spreads faster
  • Shorter market cycles, options activity, and increased volatility
  • Why demand drives earnings, and earnings drive markets
  • And more!
