You're listening to an Airwave Media podcast.

The market got super excited and then had cooled off.

You know, the first couple of weeks of January weren't great.

But I do think that we are in an environment that is more pro-business,

that that sort of animal spirits that are released.

I think that's sort of a real thing.

And confidence begets confidence.

So if people are feeling confident about the economy,

they're more willing to spend,

they're more willing to invest in growing their business, let's say.

So I think that we still have some excitement left from

that. Hey, everybody, thanks for joining us today on Her Money. I'm Gene Chatsky, and we are here

today to talk about the markets in 2025, to talk about investing in 2025, to give you all a little sneak peek into what's going

on in our women's only investing club, which, by the way, meets every other Monday night on

Zoom. We've now got hundreds, hundreds of women, almost 500, by the way, learning with us. And I got to say,

2024 was an amazing year as Karen Feinerman, who is my co-host and co-founder at Investing Fix

will tell all of you. Now, Karen's no stranger. We know. If you don't know her from the

her money community, you have no doubt seen around CNBC, where she is a fast money panelist.

She is also the CEO of Metropolitan Capital Advisors. Always so good to see you.

Always good to see, Eugene. And I got to see you in person this week, which was such a treat. That was so nice. In the flesh. I love it. And you made a fabulous

cappuccino. Fabulous. It is my only thing that I can cook. That and a tuna melt, and that is it.

Nothing else.
