  Stock Market Crash Warning: What History Says Happens Next

  Aug 13, 202616 min

  Join Ross’s Patreon Community for exclusive content and LIVE events https://www.patreon.com/cw/TheRealRossMandell?utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator In this episode of Going Public with Ross Mandell, Ross breaks down one of the biggest questions facing investors right now: is the stock market headed for a correction, a bear market, or a full market crash? Ross explains why every major crash in market history starts the same way — not with fear, but with confidence. From the 1929 stock market crash and the Great Depression, to the 1973–74 bear market, Black Monday in 1987, the dot-com bubble, the 2008 financial crisis, and the COVID market crash of 2020, Ross walks through the patterns investors keep repeating. This episode explains the difference between a pullback, a correction, a bear market, and a crash, and why understanding those differences can help investors avoid emotional decisions when volatility hits. Ross also connects market history to today’s economy, including AI stocks, stretched valuations, interest rates, Federal Reserve policy, liquidity, inflation, narrow market leadership, and the possibility that today’s AI boom could become either a new era of productivity or another speculative bubble. The key lesson: markets do not reward prediction — they reward preparation. Ross explains why investors should not try to call the exact top, but instead understand what they own, why they own it, and how they will react when the next market correction comes. This episode is a must-listen for anyone trying to understand stock market crashes, market cycles, AI investing, Federal Reserve policy, investor psychology, market corrections, bear markets, and how to stay disciplined during volatility. This episode is for educational and informational purposes only and is not financial advice. Topics Covered: Stock market crash warning Market correction vs bear market vs crash Why every crash begins with confidence 1929 stock market crash and the Great Depression 1973–74 bear market and inflation 1987 Black Monday crash Dot-com bubble and tech stock valuations 2008 financial crisis and mortgage debt COVID market crash and recovery Federal Reserve policy and liquidity Interest rates, inflation, and market cycles AI stocks, AI bubble risk, and stretched valuations Why market timing is dangerous How investors should prepare for volatility Why discipline matters more than prediction Keywords: About Ross Mandell: Ross Mandell is a former Wall Street professional, entrepreneur, author, and capital formation expert.

  Mark Davis Scandal: Dr. Alexandria Reveals the Truth About the Rumors

  Aug 10, 20261h 18m

  In this episode of Going Public with Ross Mandell, Ross sits down with Dr. Alexandria Lightning, a Las Vegas-based healthcare provider, functional medicine practitioner, entrepreneur, and the woman who recently went viral after the internet connected her to Mark Davis, owner of the Las Vegas Raiders. Dr. Alexandria Lightning opens up about the viral Mark Davis baby mama rumor, how one birthday photo turned into national gossip coverage, why outlets and social media ran with the story, and how she handled suddenly being labeled online. She explains what really happened, how the photo was taken, why the caption was misunderstood, and why she eventually decided to stop defending herself and use the publicity as a business owner. But this conversation goes much deeper than internet rumors. Ross and Dr. Lightning dive into the problems inside the modern healthcare system, including insurance companies, rushed doctor visits, limited lab testing, Big Pharma, reactive medicine, preventative care, functional medicine, hormones, vitamin D, testosterone, cancer risk, patient advocacy, and why many people are told they are “normal” even when they still feel sick, tired, anxious, depressed, or unmotivated. Dr. Lightning explains why she became a healthcare disruptor, why she moved away from the traditional insurance-based medical model, and how functional medicine looks for signs of dysfunction before disease fully develops. She also shares her personal story, including growing up in Fort Wayne, Indiana, being raised by the father who later legally adopted her, experiencing prejudice from different sides, moving to Los Angeles, building a business, becoming a mother, and ultimately opening her own practice in Las Vegas. This episode is for educational and entertainment purposes only and is not medical advice. Always consult a qualified healthcare professional before making decisions about testing, medication, supplements, hormones, or treatment. Topics Covered: Dr. Alexandria Lightning’s viral Mark Davis photo The Las Vegas Raiders “baby mama” rumor explained How TMZ, Daily Mail, New York Post, TikTok, and YouTube reacted Why Dr. Lightning stopped defending herself online Growing up in Fort Wayne, Indiana How Lightning became her real legal last name Race, identity, prejudice, and being judged by both sides Why Dr. Lightning says the healthcare system is broken Western medicine vs. functional medicine Insurance companies, rushed doctor visits, and denied care Why “normal” lab results may not mean optimal health Vitamin D, hormones, testosterone, and preventative health Cancer risk, family history, and proactive testing Why she moved away from insurance-based care Patient advocacy and taking control of your health Building a functional medicine practice in Las Vegas The future of healthcare, lab interpretation, and medical technology About Dr. Alexandria Lightning: Dr. Alexandria Lightning is a Las Vegas-based healthcare provider, functional medicine practitioner, entrepreneur, mother, and healthcare disruptor focused on helping patients understand their bodies, optimize their health, and advocate for themselves inside a system she believes is too reactive and insurance-driven.

  Short Selling: The Strategy That Terrifies Stock Market Insiders

  Aug 5, 202619 min

  Join Ross’s Patreon Community for exclusive content and LIVE events https://www.patreon.com/cw/TheRealRossMandell?utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator In this episode of Going Public with Ross Mandell, Ross breaks down one of the most misunderstood and controversial strategies on Wall Street: short selling. Short selling creates emotion every time the stock market drops. People accuse short sellers of attacking companies, driving stocks lower, or manipulating the market. But Ross explains why most people criticizing short selling do not actually understand how it works. Ross explains the basics of how short selling works, why investors borrow shares, sell them into the market, and try to buy them back at a lower price. He also breaks down why short selling can be one of the most dangerous strategies in finance, because unlike buying a stock, where your maximum loss is limited, a short position can create theoretically unlimited losses. This episode also explores why Wall Street allows short selling, how it creates market liquidity, why it helps with price discovery, and why responsible short sellers can sometimes expose overvalued companies, financial fraud, weak balance sheets, and unrealistic market hype before the rest of the market catches up. Ross discusses major Wall Street examples, including Michael Burry and The Big Short, the psychology of being early on a bearish thesis, the risks of betting against popular stocks, and why even brilliant investors can lose money when timing goes against them. The episode also explains short squeezes, including how forced buying, margin calls, and crowded short positions can send stocks soaring. Ross breaks down the market mechanics behind famous short squeeze examples like GameStop in 2021 and Volkswagen in 2008, showing why prices sometimes move because of market structure instead of company fundamentals. If you want to become a smarter investor, this episode will help you understand both sides of the market: bulls and bears, buying and shorting, optimism and skepticism, risk and reward. Even if you never short a stock, understanding short selling can completely change the way you see the stock market. This episode is for educational and informational purposes only and is not financial advice. Topics Covered: What short selling is and how it works Why short sellers borrow shares and sell them The difference between buying stocks and shorting stocks Why short selling has unlimited risk How Wall Street uses short selling Why short selling creates liquidity in the stock market How short sellers help with price discovery Why markets need both bulls and bears Michael Burry, The Big Short, and contrarian investing Why being early can feel exactly like being wrong How short squeezes happen GameStop, Volkswagen, and forced buying Margin calls, risk management, and market psychology Why short selling is controversial How understanding short selling makes you a smarter investor About Ross Mandell: Ross Mandell is a former Wall Street professional, entrepreneur, author, and capital formation expert.
