Episode 101 - Evaluating Alternative Investments During Market Uncertainty

In today's episode, Laura and Jeremiah Lee break down what's really driving market uncertainty right now—and why seeing wealthy investors "step back" can mess with your confidence if you're not anchored to a plan. They talk through the danger of chasing headlines, the reality that the economy moves in cycles, and why trying to time the market usually costs more than it pays. You'll also hear a practical discussion on common "safe haven" moves—cash, precious metals, and private placements—including what each option can (and can't) do for your portfolio.
