MoneyMasters Podcast 8/7/25

Mike Larson | Editor-in-Chief

Markets may be climbing, but are they telling the truth?

In this episode of the MoneyShow MoneyMasters Podcast, Keith Fitz-Gerald (principal at the Fitz-Gerald Group) and David Keller (president and chief strategist at Sierra Alpha Research) break down why investing based on what you think the markets SHOULD do – versus what they ARE DOING – can be so costly.

We also cover the technical and macro signals that reveal where the S&P 500 Index (^SPX) could be headed next. Plus, we discuss market breadth, sector rotation, fear vs. FOMO sentiment, and the risk indicators most investors overlook. (Bonus: If you own Tesla Inc. (TSLA), Palantir Technologies Inc. (PLTR), or stocks in THIS beaten-down sector, you won’t want to miss what Keith and David have to say.)

Finally, Keith and David will be speaking at the 2025 MoneyShow Orlando, scheduled for Oct. 16-18 at the Omni Orlando Resort at ChampionsGate. Click here to register.

TOP INVESTING IDEA

It’s “Tariff Day” — the day US tariffs kick in around the globe. The average US tariff rate will now be around 15.2%, 6.5x year-ago levelts. But like the proverbial honey badger, markets just "don't care."
