PODCAST EPISODE 359 – Financial Guru Predictions Gone Wrong and CyberTruck Sinks

ByPaul Adams

Why do financial influencers keep predicting the next big market crash—and why do people keep listening?

In this episode of More Than Commas, we break down the real incentive behind repeated crash predictions, how attention drives extreme forecasts, and why being “right once” can be more profitable than being consistently accurate.

Then, in a completely unexpected turn, we follow through on a wild real-life experiment involving a Cybertruck and a boat ramp—highlighting how reality doesn’t always go as planned.
