What happened — and what it teaches

In the summer of 2011, the FTSE 100 faced mounting pressure as Greek debt restructuring fears returned to haunt European markets. Investors watched anxiously as policymakers debated rescue packages while sovereign debt spreads widened across the eurozone periphery. The British blue-chip index, trading near elevated levels, was exposed to contagion risks from continental Europe's fiscal crisis.

The period from June 1 to December 20, 2011 saw the FTSE 100 decline from 5928.6 to 5419.6, a fall of 8.6%. The market experienced a maximum drawdown of 18.3% and its largest single-day move reached 4.7%, reflecting the extreme volatility that characterized this turbulent period.

This scenario offers critical lessons in decision-making under uncertainty. Navigating 25 decision points, including 9 critical ones, tests one's ability to manage risk when systemic shocks reshape market expectations rapidly. Participants learn to balance conviction with flexibility, recognizing that volatility itself becomes an enemy when positions are sized inappropriately. The episode demonstrates why disciplined risk management, clear exit rules, and psychological resilience are essential when markets price in the possibility of sovereign defaults.
