In this discussion with Albert Lu, I discuss toilet-paper hysteria, panic selling, coronavirus fear, and what market turmoil reveals about investors and society.

Hysteria does not merely affect financial markets. It reveals the fragility of social trust, institutional confidence, and individual discipline.
