Last week was absolute chaos. Nvidia crushed earnings—$57 billion in revenue—and the stock still fell. Bitcoin crashed from $92,000 to $82,000. And the S&P 500 had its worst week since 2008.

So what the heck happened? And more importantly, what should YOU do this week?

In this episode, I break down why good news made stocks fall (the "priced in" concept), what caused Bitcoin's 33% crash, and your exact game plan for this holiday-shortened trading week. Markets close Thursday for Thanksgiving and Friday at 1pm—so if you're holding positions or thinking about buying, you need to hear this first.

We're covering:

Plus, I'm explaining key concepts like liquidations, leverage, demand zones, and portfolio drift—so you're not just informed, you're educated.

Whether you're deep in crypto, heavily invested in tech stocks, or just trying to figure out what to do with your 401(k) right now—this episode will help you make informed decisions instead of emotional ones.

Let's build wealth together, money family.

Netflix stock didn't crash 90% today - it's a 10-for-1 stock split, and I'm breaking down exactly what that means for your wallet in plain English.

These eight companies are about to tell us everything about consumer spending, housing market health, and whether AI valuations are justified.

This week delivered the Fed's first rate cut of 2025, major earnings surprises, and fresh inflation data. Dominique breaks down what these developments actually mean for your money, cuts through the market noise, and gives you actionable strategies to protect and grow your wealth in an uncertain economic environment.

"When the Fed starts using phrases like 'risk management cut,' they're basically saying 'we're worried but we don't want to panic y'all.'"

"Volatility creates wealth transfer, not wealth destruction. Be ready to act when others are panicking."

"We're in a transitional moment where the easy money era is ending, but we don't yet know what's replacing it."

"That's not fear-based thinking – that's wealth-building thinking."
