The Real Money Pros

Elon vs. Trump: Another Investor Distraction (6/7/2025)


Listen Later

The dudes unpack the headlines that distracted investors all week—starting with the bizarre (and kind of surprising) public feud between Elon Musk and Donald Trump. But rather than get caught in the drama, they break down what these kinds of headlines actually reveal about market psychology, innovation narratives, and how investors often overreact to noise.

Brian shares thoughts on Musk’s focus on Mars, and how the biggest minds—and money—are increasingly concentrated in AI, robotics, and infrastructure. Jeremiah brings it back to reality with a discussion on emotional investing and why even the best plans get derailed by uncertainty and indecision.

They also revisit the bucket strategy, explain how long-term planning can absorb market turbulence, and share a real-world story about a client who sold a home and finally put cash to work—reminding listeners that action, not perfection, drives results. We talk tech, politics, and personal finance in a way that helps listeners refocus on what actually matters: having a strategy that isn’t swayed by social media, soundbites, or sentiment swings.
