Year in Review 2025: The Biggest Takeaways From a Year That Tested Confidence, Patience and Discipline

Welcome to this week's episode of the Money and Investing Show with Andrew Baxter and co-host Mitch.

In Year in Review 2025: The Biggest Takeaways From a Year That Tested Confidence, Patience and Discipline, we look back on a year in review that shook markets, politics and portfolios. From the return of President 47 and sweeping tariffs, to rate cuts at home in Australia and the lingering housing crisis, this year in review pulls together the major events that shaped your investing decisions.

Andrew Baxter and Mitch break down how Trump tariffs first shocked markets then fuelled a powerful rally, why AI chips, Nvidia and the hyperscalers drove the NASDAQ, and how gold and silver surged while crypto stalled. They unpack what central banks got right and wrong, why housing supply still matters more than subsidies, and how to think about risk when sentiment swings.

You will also hear the personal side of Year in Review 2025, including health scares, ultra marathons and the discipline it took to stay focused, keep trading and keep learning when the pressure was on.
