00:10:00 – The 10th Amendment CrisisKnight explains how Trump's use of the Insurrection Act violates state sovereignty and sets a precedent for federal militarization. Republican senators like Murkowski and Tillis express concern but remain too afraid to confront Trump directly. 00:21:13 – ICE Snipers and the War on ProtestVideo evidence shows ICE agents firing pepper balls at peaceful protesters and clergy. Knight argues this militarized policing proves Trump's contempt for civil liberties and the Bill of Rights. 00:30:44 – Artificial Integrity: Pam Bondi & Cash PatelKnight coins the term “artificial integrity” to describe Trump's loyalists like Pam Bondi and Cash Patel, accusing them of evasion, dishonesty, and political theater during congressional hearings about Comey and Epstein. 00:37:36 – Marjorie Taylor Greene Breaks with TrumpKnight highlights Greene's public statement rejecting blind loyalty to Trump and defending her independence. He praises her rare courage, contrasting it with the cowardice of most GOP officials. 00:41:00 – FBI Spies on Republican SenatorsRevelation that the FBI secretly accessed phone records of eight Republican senators triggers outrage. Knight mocks their hypocrisy for ignoring mass surveillance until it targeted them personally. 00:44:24 – Trump Jr.'s Pharma GriftTrump Jr. joins the board of a prescription delivery company set to profit from a Trump administration drug summit. Knight calls it blatant graft disguised as “health reform.” 00:52:21 – Gold Surges Past $4,000Knight reports that gold has shattered the $4,000 mark, framing it as a collapse of faith in fiat currencies rather than a rise in gold's intrinsic value. He warns of a global debt time bomb and urges listeners to hold physical metals, not paper ETFs. 01:21:21 – EU Approves Mass Chat SurveillanceKnight exposes the EU's “Chat Control 2.0,” a regulation scanning all private messages under the pretext of child safety. He compares it to FDR's telegram surveillance and calls it the death of digital privacy in Europe. 01:36:33 – Lagarde Pushes Digital EuroChristine Lagarde complains democracy is too slow for the rollout of a CBDC. Knight calls her “Christine the God,” saying she and von der Leyen are accelerating Europe's technocratic takeover under the guise of efficiency. 01:37:52 – California's Pre-Hate Crime BillKnight highlights California's new hate speech law as the U.S. version of European censorship. He warns it criminalizes “potential hate” and mirrors Soviet-style repression disguised as tolerance. 01:53:08 – Outlawing Hate & Christian PersecutionKnight and callers discuss how outlawing hate only drives resentment underground. They argue Christians and white males have become the primary targets of Western censorship and discrimination campaigns. 01:57:00 – Biden's CIA Cover-Up in UkraineSegment details Biden's effort to suppress intelligence on his family's Ukrainian corruption ties while pressuring prosecutors to halt investigations—evidence of long-standing collusion between the CIA and political elites. 02:03:22 – “Precious Freedom” and the Lies of VietnamAuthor James Bradley joins to discuss his book Precious Freedom, which reexamines the Vietnam War through the eyes of both Americans and Vietnamese. He describes unraveling decades of U.S. propaganda and explains how Vietnamese victory stemmed from defending their homeland—not ideology. 02:17:03 – The Fake North–South Vietnam NarrativeBradley reveals that the U.S. and CIA fabricated the idea of “two Vietnams,” turning a temporary French withdrawal line into a false border to justify intervention. Knight compares it to modern media deception surrounding COVID and other political lies. 02:28:14 – Mothers, Media, and Awakening to WarThe character Betty, a patriotic mother, mirrors America's awakening as she discovers suppressed speeches by Muhammad Ali and Martin Luther King Jr. condemning the war. Knight and Bradley discuss how media censorship concealed moral opposition. 02:37:42 – CIA, Opium, and the War MachineKnight and Bradley expose General Westmoreland's alleged role in global opium trafficking and how CIA operations in Vietnam, Laos, and Italy funded covert wars. They argue mainstream media knowingly concealed this vast corruption network. 02:40:49 – The Night War Vietnam StoryBradley explains that America never “won a single 24-hour period” in Vietnam. The Vietcong fought exclusively at night while U.S. troops retreated daily, contradicting the myth that the U.S. “won every battle.” 02:43:55 – Lessons for America's Future WarsBradley likens Ho Chi Minh to George Washington, saying defenders always win when fighting for home. Knight connects these lessons to modern U.S. interventions in Iran and Venezuela, warning that America's leaders keep repeating Vietnam's mistakes. 02:55:49 – The Real Domino TheoryKnight concludes that while America fought communism abroad, Marxism quietly conquered its schools, bureaucracy, and culture—turning the “domino theory” inward.

Don and Tom kick off this episode with a satirical bang—mocking the apocalyptic tone of a MarketWatch article about the “Fourth Turning,” a cyclical doom prophecy claiming America faces a cataclysmic reset every 80–100 years.

Gold’s on a tear — and host Merryn Somerset Webb asks Dominic Frisbee, investor and author of the investment newsletter The Flying Frisbee and a new book The Secret History of Gold why. They dig into central-bank buying, de-dollarization, and the metal’s timeless allure, from Roman coins to modern ETFs, plus the case for $7k gold and the pivotal $50 line in silver. Practical takeaways include how physical sovereigns, miners, and ETFs can fit into a portfolio today.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this week's episode of WSJ's Take On the Week, co-hosts Gunjan Banerji and Telis Demos explore how the Federal Reserve's independence, a government shutdown and volatility around tariffs are driving gold to hit record highs. Then, does videogame maker Electronic Arts' $55 billion buyout signal a long-awaited M&A boom? Plus, they discuss the “debasement trade” and how concerns over the U.S. dollar are also fueling a rally in bitcoin ETFs issued by firms like BlackRock.  Then after the break, Gunjan sits down with Neene Jenkins, head of municipal research at JPMorgan Asset Management, to dive into municipal bonds, which are used to fund infrastructure, highways, sewer systems and school districts. Is higher education issuing more debt because of federal challenges? Later, they discuss the sector's resilience to government shutdowns, and Jenkins answers a key question: How likely is a recession? This is WSJ's Take On the Week where co-hosts Gunjan Banerji, lead writer for Live Markets, and Telis Demos, Heard on the Street's banking and money columnist, cut through the noise and dive into markets, the economy and finance—the big trades, key players and business news ahead.

So today I've got something really special for you. Just yesterday I had a chat with Diana Perkins from Trading with Diana. We trade different markets, but we both share the same philosophy, and it's going to help you massively. Andrew Mitchem Let's get into that more right now. My trading chat with Diana Perkins. Andrew Mitchem Hey traders, Andrew here at The Forex Trading Coach with video and podcast number 608. For 40 minutes you're going to get absolute gold with my interview with Diana Perkins. Let's start straight away. Everybody, it's Andrew Mitchem here at The Forex Trading Coach. Absolutely thrilled today to be joined by Diana Perkins from Trading with Diana. Welcome along, Diana. Nice to see you so much. Diana Perkins, CPA And thank you for having me. Andrew & Diana trade different markets but share a common philosophy. Andrew Mitchem Awesome. Well, look, we got put together because I think someone thought that we would have a great education and insight to help people, because although we do slightly different things, I think our philosophy of trading and helping people is something that will align really well for people watching and listening to this. So maybe first of all, Diana, if you could introduce yourself, who you are and what you do. Diana Perkins, CPA Absolutely, and I agree with the person who connected us. I'm really excited for this conversation. So, Diana Perkins, I'm the founder of Trading with Diana, which is an educational platform where I teach everyday people how to trade the market with confidence. I do this through workshops, personalized coaching, and newsletters, and it's honestly the best part of my day. I spent a good part of my career trading and mentoring and coaching others in the space, and recently launched my own business so I can do this full time. Andrew Mitchem Awesome, awesome. So, when you coach people, what kind of markets do you generally look at? What do you help them with? Diana Perkins, CPA Yeah, it's typically the US equity market and we're focused on stocks, ETFs, you know, some index funds and, for a small subset—although it's growing—options trading, which I don't normally market. But I did used to be a professional options trader. I love it. There's so much that you can do with stock options. So focus in those areas. But it's really all market conditions, which brings up—I actually just spoke with a trader this morning about that—just looking almost, you know, the last nine months in review, but all different market conditions across all different sectors. It's really a flexible approach. And you'll hear me say that investing, it's very individual. Andrew Mitchem You know, I was reading your background about how you started when you were young with charging—I think it was the inter...

Wie ihr wisst, unterscheide ich beinahe mantraartig zwischen der langfristigen, eher passiven Geldanlage und der aktiven Anlage. Sollte ich irgendwann einmal aufhören, hier Videos zu veröffentlichen oder Beiträge zu schreiben, dann möchte ich, dass man sich genau daran erinnert. Warum? Weil es entscheidend ist, diese beiden Ansätze klar voneinander abzugrenzen. Heute möchte ich deshalb auf sechs vermeintliche „Renditekiller“ eingehen. Es handelt sich dabei um Standpunkte, die jemand anders formuliert hat. Die Hälfte davon ist völlig richtig. Aber gerade weil solche allgemeinen Regeln so populär sind, ist es wichtig zu verstehen, an welchen Stellen sie für aktive Anleger sogar kontraproduktiv wirken können. Das klingt zunächst vielleicht etwas verwirrend – ist es aber nicht. Schaut euch das Video an, denn es ist wirklich entscheidend zu wissen, nach welchen Regeln man in welcher Disziplin unterwegs ist. Ich wette, bei mindestens zwei Punkten werdet ihr euch ertappt fühlen. Mir geht es übrigens heute immer noch manchmal so. Also, fangen wir an.

Are you looking to save time, make money, and start winning with less risk? Then head to https://www.ovtlyr.com.The government shutdown may be all over the headlines, but does it really move the markets? In this video we cut through the noise and focus on the stocks and ETFs that actually matter right now. While the news cycle fuels fear, the data tells a different story. The QQQ and SPY keep hitting all-time highs, showing that smart traders who follow a plan can stay calm and profit when others are distracted by politics.We dig into how having a clear strategy removes the stress from trading. By following signals, not emotions, you know exactly when to get in and when to get out. That's what happened with Plan ETF. Entered on September 24th, this trade is already up nearly $5,000 while requiring almost no effort. It's a perfect example of why planning matters more than predicting.Here's what you'll discover:➡️ How to trade with confidence even during government shutdown headlines➡️ Why all-time highs are bullish and what they signal about future trends➡️ The power of exit strategies like the 10/20 cross, order block hits, and ATR filters➡️ How to identify value zones and avoid chasing extended setups➡️ The role of Plan M, Plan A, and Plan ETF in building a complete playbookWe also walk through stock ideas across sectors. Gold and precious metals like GLD have been running since August signals. Defense and aerospace names such as RTX are flashing buy signals, while utilities like AEP are showing strength with bullish breadth. Walmart and other staples look less convincing with weak sector data, but cybersecurity and infrastructure plays like Palantir could benefit if government spending priorities shift.Along the way, we break down what order blocks mean, why trapped buyers can create resistance, and how to spot when a stock is ready to break through. From big names like AMD, Dell, and J&J to leveraged ETFs like UDOW, you'll see how sector signals, breadth indicators, and fear and greed scores all come together to shape better trading decisions.The key takeaway is simple: stop chasing headlines and start following a proven plan. With OVTLYR, you get data-driven signals, backtested strategies, and clear exit rules so you can save time, lower risk, and maximize returns. Whether you're looking at stocks in tech, energy, or utilities, or you just want to ride major ETFs like QQQ and SPY, this video shows how to trade smarter.If you're ready to cut through the noise and start winning with a system built on data instead of hype, watch this video and see how OVTLYR can change the way you trade.Gain instant access to the AI-powered tools and behavioral insights top traders use to spot big moves before the crowd.

On this episode of Simply Money presented by Allworth Financial, Bob and Brian bust some of the biggest money myths that could sink your financial future — from “I'll just work forever” to “downsizing my house will give me a windfall” to “Medicare will cover long-term care.” They'll explain why these assumptions can derail even the best-laid retirement plans and how to replace wishful thinking with solid math. Plus, are we already in an AI bubble, and why investors aren't panicking yet? And as always, they'll answer your questions about RMDs, Medicare premiums, direct indexing, buffered ETFs, tax planning, and more.

October is shaping up to be a pivotal month for crypto ETFs, with 16 applications, many tied to altcoins like Solana, XRP, and Litecoin, awaiting final decisions from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. However, the new SEC-approved generic listing standards for exchange traded products could be a game changer for issuers. In this episode of Byte-Sized Insight, we speak with Zach Pandl, Head of Research at Grayscale, and James Seyffart, ETF Analyst at Bloomberg Intelligence, to unpack what makes this round of filings different, how the SEC's stance may be shifting and what the potential approvals could mean for both investors and the broader crypto market.(01:19) Why October 2025 is deemed “ETF Month”(02:41) Breaking down 19b-4 filings and looming SEC deadlines(03:48) The new generic listing standards that could fast-track crypto ETFs(04:52) How the SEC's stance on crypto shifted after the Gensler era(05:32) Bipartisan support in Washington driving crypto regulation clarity(06:57) Key lessons from Grayscale's ETF battles: putting investors first(08:11) Is there real demand for altcoin ETFs in today's market?(08:29) Solana and XRP ETFs: futures market signals early appetite(09:17) Why basket and index ETFs could shape the future of crypto investing(10:03) Inside the next wave of crypto ETFs: simplified access for investorsThis episode was hosted and produced by Savannah Fortis, @savannah_fortis.Follow Cointelegraph on X @Cointelegraph.Check out Cointelegraph at cointelegraph.com.If you like what you heard, rate us and leave a review!The views, thoughts and opinions expressed in this podcast are its participants alone and do not necessarily reflect or represent the views and opinions of Cointelegraph.

In this episode, Jaspreet exposes the five biggest financial myths that trap Americans in mediocrity and reveals the uncomfortable truths that wealthy people know but most people never learn. Time to rewrite your money playbook with facts instead of fiction. What You'll Learn: Why your house isn't an investment and how front loaded mortgages keep you poor The harsh reality about who your job is legally designed to make wealthy (hint: not you) How $100 a month turns into $1.45 million over 46 years without being "rich" to start Why your banker isn't your financial advisor and how commission structures work against you The brutal truth about 401ks and why the founder says they've "gone awry" How banks front load interest payments so you spend 20 years mostly paying them The time, return, money equation and why you can't get more of one crucial factor Jaspreet breaks down exactly how the financial system profits from keeping you believing these lies and shows you the real math behind building wealth.

Ed Campbell, the founder of Red Hook Phoenix Investment Partners, says that key shifts in the economy triggered by advancements in artificial intelligence and automation, changes to the financial situation, shifting geopolitics and more will make it so that markets and economies don't get so far off-kilter that they create boom and bust patterns. He says recessions and downturns will continue, but that the market will act more like it has in recent years, where it has climbed the wall of worry to new heights overcoming stumbles but avoiding crashes. Todd Rosenbluth, head of research at VettaFi, acknowledges that the government shutdown and other current conditions have made investors nervous, so his ETF of the Week is a pick with built-in downside protection to calm the nerves. In the Market Call, Adam Coons, chief investment officer at Winthrop Capital Management, discusses how he uses ETFs for a core-and-satellite investment approach that currently is neutral to market conditions, meaning that he believes investors should be rebalancing portfolios to return to planned asset allocations.

How well you invest can make the biggest difference to your financial freedom and lifestyle. If you invested well for the long-term, what a difference it would make because the difference between investing $100k and earning 5 percent or 10 percent on your money over 30 years, is the difference between it growing to $432,194 or $1,744,940, an increase of over $1.3 million dollars.

Don and Tom tackle the creeping role of AI in financial advice—highlighting Vanguard's new “nudges” on its platform—before pivoting into lively listener calls. The show explores the balance between saving and living (including an $800K earner debating a bigger house), the risks of high-yield gimmick ETFs like QQQI, the simplicity of age-based 529 plans, and the murky rules around paying kids into Roth IRAs. Humor, skepticism, and practical guidance keep the conversation grounded, with a side of leaf blowers, Italian villas, and Tom's inevitable puns. 0:10 Don's dramatic AI apocalypse intro and Vanguard “nudges” 1:20 Squarespace rant: how customer service died 4:13 Vanguard limiting fund lists—bias toward active funds? 6:22 AI is coming for investing advice 6:35 Listener call: $800K household, cheap mortgage, “living life” vs upgrading home 10:22 House affordability rules: 25–30% PITI, low-rate lock-in dilemma 12:19 Call from Jim in Bellevue: QQQI high-yield ETF 13:44 Why covered call income funds are risky, volatile, and gimmicky 17:41 Tech focus, March 2000 parallels, why diversification beats chasing yield 19:29 Covered call strategies—why they lose upside and add complexity 22:50 Listener email from Shauna: which Utah 529 portfolio to pick 24:36 Best choice = age-based glide path, simplicity and cost advantages 26:13 Follow-up caller: Roth IRAs for kids, risk of inflated wages and IRS scrutiny 29:24 Who checks wages?

Don and Tom open with a tribute to financial writer Jonathan Clements, reflecting on his career and unique investing wisdom. They unpack five of his “pearls,” including saving early, avoiding big mistakes, and living an active, purposeful life. From there, they pivot into critiques of misleading annuity sales cloaked in fiduciary language, highlight changes coming to retirement account catch-up contributions, and tackle listener questions on bond ETFs, ETF vs. mutual fund conversions, CD strategies, and investing with a reluctant spouse. The show mixes respect for sensible investing voices with sharp criticism of gimmicks, all wrapped in listener calls and banter. 1:04 Remembering Jonathan Clements and his influence 2:59 Pearl #1: Make and save money early, passion can wait 3:54 Pearl #2: Winning isn't everything—avoiding losers matters most 5:05 Pearl #3: The tax code rewards patience and savers 5:50 Pearl #4: Don't just stand there, do something (in life, not trading) 7:37 Reflection on his loss and the scarcity of sensible money voices 9:34 Critiquing Kiplinger article and annuity sales cloaked as fiduciary advice 11:44 Pearl #5: Humans are built to strive, not sit idle—retirement requires purpose 12:40 Preview of rising early-retirement questions in upcoming Q&A show 13:22 Vacation banter, Disney's Aulani resort, and “surfing together” joke 14:13 Back to annuity sales, fiduciary mask problem, and misleading disclosures 17:39 Listener email anticipating annuity criticism—prediction fulfilled 18:12 Listener call: pushback on jargon, “basis points vs. bips” debate 20:13 Listener call: bond ETF BINC—why it's loaded with junk and risky 25:22 Explaining Roth-only 401(k) catch-ups starting 2026 for $145k+ earners 27:22 Listener call: ETF vs. mutual fund conversions, Vanguard's patent, Fidelity status 31:29 Listener call: couple with $1.6M in cash, wife afraid of investing 35:36 Don and Tom's advice: show need via a financial plan, start with small stock exposure 35:59 Listener call from Italy: CDs, interest rates, and laddering vs. penalties Learn more about your ad choices.
