The markets are still riding high, but if 2025 taught us anything, it’s that not everything that glitters is gold. In this episode of our sister podcast HerMoney, Jean Chatzky sits down with legendary investor and How She Does It Host Karen Finerman to unpack the wild ride of 2025: the highs, the flops, the lessons learned, and the big bets she’s making in 2026.

We also talk about what makes a winning portfolio, how our InvestingFixx club beat the market, and how you can start building confidence with your own investments, one smart move at a time.

In this episode:

  • What Karen’s biggest winner of 2025 says about the market’s resilience
  • Karen's biggest regret and what she’d do differently
  • Whether or not the AI hype is starting to look like 1999
  • How to use the volatility index to make better decisions
  • Why banks might be the most overlooked opportunity of 2026
