Crises, Panics & Aftershocks

This lens addresses moments when markets move from stress into disruption.

Crises expose weaknesses that were previously ignored. Panics accelerate behaviour as fear replaces deliberation. Aftershocks linger long after headlines fade, reshaping confidence, trust, and risk perception.

This category explores how people behave under pressure, why decisions made during crises often echo for years, and how understanding these moments helps investors avoid repeating the same mistakes when the next shock arrives.
