Summary

In this episode of Money Moves, Matty A. and Ryan Breedwell dive into one of the most politically and economically charged periods in recent history. With election season intensifying, AI regulation heating up, and market volatility rising, they break down how investors can prepare for the next 18 months.

The hosts discuss why markets tend to rally after elections, the impact of potential policy shifts on taxes, crypto, and interest rates, and why AI regulation could change the trajectory of tech investing. They also explore the Federal Reserve’s 2026 outlook, global instability, and whether gold and Bitcoin can protect investors against inflation and geopolitical risk.

This episode delivers a balanced mix of macroeconomic insight, investment strategy, and real-world perspective to help you make smarter money moves during turbulent times.

Episode Highlights:

[00:00:30] Market volatility update and what’s driving investor sentiment right now
[00:04:15] Election-year dynamics: why markets often rally after political uncertainty settles
[00:09:30] AI regulation and its impact on tech valuations and innovation
[00:14:40] Global instability and energy prices — where the real risks lie
[00:18:55] The Fed’s next moves: interest rates, inflation, and 2026 projections
[00:23:30] Crypto outlook — regulation, adoption, and institutional entry points
[00:27:20] Gold, Bitcoin, and real assets as protection against market chaos
[00:32:45] Why most investors lose in election years and how to avoid emotional decisions
[00:38:10] The 2026 setup: sectors and strategies that could outperform long-term

Episode Takeaways:

Election uncertainty creates opportunity. Historically, post-election rallies favor patient investors who stay positioned through volatility.
AI regulation is coming. Expect more government scrutiny and tighter frameworks around data, IP, and automation—but innovation will persist.
Diversification matters more than ever. Real assets, energy, and technology infrastructure remain strong long-term plays.
Crypto and gold remain hedges. Institutional adoption and digital asset infrastructure are solidifying.
Focus on fundamentals. Emotional, reactionary investing destroys returns—discipline compounds wealth.

0:05.9	opportunity that is to be had yet, not only in the stock market, but as you've mentioned

And you know what I'm going to do today, too? I'm going to go over one of my commercial estate deals that I'm in contract on and going to be raising some money for.
0:56.1	So that'll be something to discuss for anybody that's interested in investing passively
1:02.2	or just to kind of figure break down anybody that's thinking about investing in commercial
1:06.4	real estate, kind of how I am structuring the deal and why I like it, because it's honestly not my
1:14.2	normal, my normal deal that I like to go after. I like something with tons of upside, real juicy,
1:20.3	a lot of hair on it. And this one's a nice little double, so I like it still. But I figured I'd
1:25.0	break that down for you guys. And of course, we do have some,
