Millionaire Mindcast Markets, Tariffs, and Volatility: Why Long-Term Investors Keep Winning | Money Moves
In this episode of Money Moves, Matty A. and Ryan Breedwell break down the growing volatility hitting markets early in the year and why short-term fear continues to trap undisciplined investors.
They open with a look at bearish sentiment across stocks, crypto, and bonds, explaining why early-year pullbacks are both normal and healthy. The guys reinforce why long-term investors should view red weeks as opportunity—not danger—and why history consistently rewards patience over prediction.
The conversation then expands into geopolitics and policy, including tariffs, U.S.–EU trade tensions, Greenland, and how political posturing creates short-term uncertainty but rarely alters long-term market trajectories. Matty and Ryan explain why the U.S. market remains the best long-term wealth engine despite constant headline noise.
They also dive into asset allocation, dollar-cost averaging, diversification, and why trying to time market bottoms is a losing game. The episode wraps with updates on precious metals, crypto market pullbacks, regulatory clarity, housing trends, rising foreclosure data, and why discipline—not speculation—is the real edge for investors in 2026.
This episode is a reminder that markets reward simplicity, consistency, and conviction—not panic.
