There are all kinds of trends in markets. Some are head fakes, some are fleeting, and some are long-lasting, highly impactful, seismic shifts. 

One of the keys to investing is to figure out the seismic shifts from the minor blips, and then - to paraphrase a line from Jesse Livermore - "be right and sit tight". 

With that in mind, the first panel session at Livewire Live 2024 explored five seismic shifts happening in markets right now, whether they are all they are cracked up to be, and if they are, how you can take advantage of them.
