Weekly Market Insights April 21 - 25, 2025

This week on The Personal Wealth Coach, join the bald and brilliant duo, Jake and Jeff, as they dive into a financial soup of market corrections, geopolitical jitters, and economic psychology—with a healthy splash of Shakespearean flair. From the week's market highs and lows to the mysterious art of labeling bear markets, they unpack everything from the falling price of oil to the real reasons central banks are hoarding gold like dragons.

Ever wondered if the economy is a ship, a flock of seagulls, or just a chaotic mess of human behavior? You’re not alone. We’ll also explore how tariffs may inflate more than prices, why the Fed’s chair staying in his seat made markets cheer, and why putting a $5 bill in your guitar case might just save the economy. Whether you're here to learn, worry, or nap, this episode has something for everyone—just don't operate heavy machinery while listening.
