🎙️ Markets, Mayhem & the One Big Beautiful Act!

Catherine is back from Sardinia and the team dives headfirst into the latest market moves, political drama, and jaw-dropping tax changes. From small caps staging a surprise comeback to the Russell 2000 finally flexing, it’s been anything but boring.

What’s the Fed thinking? Why does everyone keep talking about eggs? And what in the world is the One Big Beautiful Act — and how will it hit your wallet? Rachel unpacks this hefty bill full of quirky deductions, phase-outs, and “permanent” changes (spoiler: nothing in D.C. is truly permanent).

We also tackle AI’s power hunger, nuclear energy’s potential comeback, and why EV buyers might want to act fast. If you want sharp insights, entertaining banter, and a few good laughs while staying ahead of the headlines — this episode is for you.

🔥 Tune in to hear why now might not be the time to sell and how to navigate the new tax landscape with confidence.

👉 Listen now — and call us if you want the juicy details on those power-hungry stocks we couldn’t mention on-air!
