  • This episode is brought to you by Hard Lessons, a Morgan Stanley podcast.

  • Iconic investors like Stan Druckenmiller, John Gray, and Rick Reeder break down calls that worked.

  • I knew that this stock would go up for at least two or three years and go up a lot.

  • Ones that didn't.

  • I quite frankly thought the company could have reversed course.

  • They didn't.

  • And what they learned in between.

  • When you buy everything and it goes up, it doesn't train you to be a great investor.

  • It's these hard lessons that make all the difference.

  • Listen to Hard Lessons wherever you get your podcasts.

  • Good morning from the Financial Times.

  • Today is Friday, October 23rd.

  • This is your FT News Briefing.

  • Global stocks are ending the week on a deeply sour note,

  • and Brazil gears up for the final round of its presidential election.

  • Plus, Trump's ambassador to the UN is prepared for the Iran war to continue for a while.

  • I'm Mark Filippino, and here's the news you need to start your day.

  • There is a very specific word that comes to mind to describe what happened in markets on Thursday,

  • but we are a family show here at the FT News Briefing, so I will just say that it was bad.

  • Very, very bad.
