Happy New Year! As we step into 2025, it's time to reflect on the lessons of the past year and anticipate what's ahead. In this episode, I take a deep dive into my 2024 market predictions—where I was right, where I went wrong, and the key takeaways to help guide your investment decisions moving forward.

The S&P 500 delivered a remarkable 23.8% return, Bitcoin soared by 121%, and interest rates shifted more than expected. How did these compare to my forecasts? I'll share the details and insights that shaped last year's performance. Then, we'll turn our focus to 2025, where I outline predictions for major asset classes, the S&P 500, interest rates, and the ongoing battle between Gold and Bitcoin.
