Q4: It’s earnings season! Diving into the data so far + big tech investing in nuclear power

Linda Garcia, Texas House Representative, author of Wealth Warrior: 8 Steps for Communities of Color to Conquer the Stock Market, and founder of In Luz We Trust, is dedicated to empowering BIPOC and Latinx communities through financial literacy. Her podcast, Investies, tackles real-money topics, demystifies investing, and explores crucial areas like the stock market, money management, and the impact of interest rates on personal finances. Linda’s work advocates for financial independence, championing equity and representation for all, especially immigrants and marginalized communities. As a financial feminist, she encourages listeners—regardless of political affiliation, be it Republican or Democrat—to take control of their financial futures. Through her podcast and advocacy, Linda tackles the intersection of financial education, the economy, and geopolitics, helping diverse communities build wealth and secure their place in today’s financial landscape. We’re in Q3 earnings season! Banks are among the first to report: we dive into the data from the big banks, and it’s looking good–the vast majority of them beat earnings. Linda dives into what all of this data means for the stock market–and how the stock market influences positive earnings season data. (Hint: make sure you’re consistently investing!) Linda also dives into why big tech firms are supporting and investing in nuclear power. It all goes back to AI: it takes a ton of power to process AI tech. She explains why it’s important to produce this power in America, and what this means for the stock market and for your investments. Investies, there are so many ways to make the stock market work for you as you gain more experience as an investor. If you have questions about different kinds of investing, please reach out!
