In his last two appearances on this program, today's guest predicted the market would start to become more volatile.

In the fall, he didn't necessarily think that would mean lower stock prices. And he was proven correct.

To find out where he sees things headed from here, we're fortunate to welcome back to the program Cem Karsan, Founder, CIO, and Managing Principal of Kai Volatility Advisors & Kai Wealth, widely known as @jam_croissant on X/Twitter.
