Listen "When the Music Stops: Why Investors Need a Reality Check"

Episode Synopsis

This week on The Money Hour, Brian Wiley uses a clever metaphor — musical chairs — to describe today's high-anxiety markets. With stocks soaring and Micron hitting near-record highs, investors are sliding around nervously, waiting for the music to stop. Brian digs into how emotions like greed and fear can dictate our financial behavior, from cashing out 401(k)s for new toys to missing chances for growth out of hesitation. He also tackles bigger themes: tariffs, nationalism, and how politics, trade wars, and human behavior all intertwine in this volatile financial climate.   Listen, Watch, Subscribe, Ask! https://www.therealmoneypros.com Host: Brian Wiley
