MoneyMasters Podcast 🎙️11/20/25: eToro's McCormick on Social Investing, AI, & Crypto

Mike Larson | Editor-in-Chief

Crypto is getting volatile again, and the forces driving it are more complicated than just what shows up in price charts.

In this episode of the MoneyShow MoneyMasters Podcast, Andrew McCormick, Head of eToro US, breaks down what shaped the explosive start to 2025, why the recent pullback has not shaken long-term conviction, and how crypto ETFs, regulation shifts, and changing investor behavior are transforming the digital asset landscape.

Andrew also explains how institutions are changing market structure, why retail investors have become more resilient than ever, and how social investing and AI analysis tools are reshaping decision making across generations. If you want a clear, grounded look at the next phase of crypto adoption AND traditional asset trading, this conversation brings the trends into focus.

Reminder: Andrew will be speaking at the 2026 MoneyShow/TradersEXPO Las Vegas, scheduled for Feb. 23-25 at the Paris Las Vegas. Click here to register.

• IXC: A Fund to Profit from a Resurgence in Energy Prices
  👉️ TICKER: IXC
  It doesn’t surprise me that we’ve seen market prices pull back lately. Even though earnings estimates for the S&P 500 Index (^SPX) are rising, most sectors look pricey as heck. But there is one investment that looks very attractive, and it could make you Texas-sized money! I’m talking about the iShares Global Energy ETF (IXC), advises Sean Brodrick, editor at Weiss Ratings Daily.

• Gold Looks Rangebound, NOT Finished with its Bull Run
  👉️ TICKERS: GDX, GLD
  It is very easy to panic when a price series migrates from exceptionally strong returns to volatile swings. I continue to believe that gold is consolidating rather than topping. This is not the first time it has ranged following a strong performance and it will not be the last, counsels Eoin Treacy, editor of Fuller Treacy Money.
