In this week’s Money Moves, Matty A and Mr. Breedwell are back together to break down the biggest market, geopolitical, and real estate headlines shaping the second half of 2025. From Trump’s tariff war to Powell’s rate pause, the guys unpack what’s driving inflation, whether we’ll get the cuts the market is begging for, and why risk tolerance is changing in a desensitized, crypto-gambling, TikTok-trading generation.
They also touch on record-breaking housing inventory gaps, AI unicorn mania, Tesla vs. Waymo, and what the Iran-Israel ceasefire really means for oil and global volatility.
This is a tactical, no-fluff conversation for investors who want to understand what’s next—and profit from it.
