MM #252: Trump’s Tariffs Deadline, Gold Skyrockets, Recession Fear, AI Stocks & Financial Advice for Couples

In this week’s episode of Market Mondays, we dive into the global economic storm brewing as Trump’s proposed tariffs spark fears of a full-blown trade war. We unpack how these moves are shaking markets—from auto stocks taking a hit in Europe to Goldman Sachs raising the likelihood of a U.S. recession. Gold is hitting all-time highs, and we break down what that says about investor sentiment. Plus, we discuss which car brands, if any, might be worth a look right now, and whether major companies could start adding Bitcoin to their balance sheets as an economic hedge.

We also take a deep look into the AI boom: who’s set to benefit next in the ecosystem, and which companies are quietly leveraging NVIDIA’s AI stack for future dominance. We review Dennis Fish’s 2024 stock picks and play a high-stakes game of portfolio building from a curated list of major players like Netflix, HubSpot, Palo Alto, and Alibaba. To close out, we offer financial advice specifically for married couples looking to build together in uncertain economic times. Tap in!
