The market’s been up three years in a row… will it go for a fourth?
You scroll past a headline about Bitcoin falling 45%, tariffs getting overturned, and tensions rising overseas, and suddenly you’re wondering if your portfolio is sitting on a fault line.
This episode is for that moment.
Nate and Dave walk through the questions investors are asking right now:
Can the market really keep going after three strong years?
What does a Supreme Court tariff ruling actually mean for your money?
Why is Bitcoin sliding while stocks hold up? More importantly, how much of this should change what you’re doing?
Tune in for our perspective, probabilities, and a reminder that despite the ongoing uncertainty you can always have a plan.
If you’ve felt that low-grade tension in the background lately, this conversation may help you regain some clarity.
