Episode Details

In just one week, we went from the edge of a global trade war to a 90-day truce—and the markets are feeling every twist and turn. One post on Truth Social was all it took for Donald Trump to send the Dow soaring nearly 3,000 points in its biggest rally since 2008... while simultaneously tightening tariffs on China. Chaos? Absolutely. End in sight? Not even close.

On today’s show, Amber brings in two powerhouse guests to help make sense of the madness:

Frances Horodelski, veteran investor, shares why the financial system isn’t about to break—and why she’s still optimistic despite the volatility.

Darcy Morris of Ewing Morris & Co. Investment Partners breaks down how activist investors can find opportunity in uncertainty, revealing his current top plays and value strategies.

Whether you’re an investor, a market watcher, or just trying to understand what the heck is going on—this episode is a must-watch. Subscribe now and don’t miss the insights that could change your portfolio.
