This week on Another Money Show, J.R. and Anthony discuss why periods of global unrest and nonstop headlines often cause people to either panic or do nothing at all.

The guys kick off the new year with a wide-ranging conversation about the financial realities many Americans are facing right now.

As the holidays approach, the markets seem to be acting like they've had too much eggnog! Prices are moving, headlines are flying, and yet very little feels grounded in long-term fundamentals. This week, J.R. and Anthony discuss the growing sense that we are in a broadly speculative environment. They also revisit precious metals and why investors tend to gravitate toward them, especially when confidence in traditional methods feels shaky. As the year comes to a close, J.R. and Anthony thank listeners who have reached out and worked with them throughout the year.

This week on Another Money Show, J.R. and Anthony take a closer look at the economic headlines as we head into the holiday season and question whether they reflect what Americans are really experiencing. They break down the Federal Reserve’s recent moves and explain why, in their view, many of the decisions coming out of Washington simply do not make sense. J.R. and Anthony also discuss the latest inflation data and why it feels disconnected from the real-world cost pressures families continue to face, even as officials suggest inflation is improving. The conversation also touches on concerns within the banking system, ongoing worries about a market bubble, commentary on recent political and global developments, including President Trump’s primetime address and other headlines making waves this week. As always, J.R. and Anthony encourage listeners to stay informed, question the narrative, and make sure their financial plans are built to handle uncertainty. -- Visit: AnotherMoneyShow.com Call Rotchford & Associates: (623) 523-0444 Email the show: Team@AnotherMoneyShow.com Subscribe on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@AnotherMoneyShow -- Book a no-cost, no-obligation appointment: Call (623) 523-0444 or visit AnotherMoneyShow.com to schedule in-office or Zoom consultations.

This week on Another Money Show, J.R. recaps his recent appearances on Joe Jaquint’s Patriot Radio News Hour and how he’s enjoyed contributing to that program over the past several months. He also talks about the Federal Reserve’s latest changes, gold & silver prices, market manipulation, and what he believes may be signs of a broader market bubble. We want our listeners to have a clear, well-structured financial plan — one designed to navigate uncertainty, protect assets, and prepare for whatever comes next!

This week on Another Money Show, J.R. and Anthony dig into the mixed signals coming from the U.S. economy. On the surface, the markets keep pushing higher — but underneath, layoffs are spreading, credit card balances are skyrocketing heading into the holidays, and the national debt continues to climb with no signs of slowing down. J.R. also breaks down how artificial intelligence is accelerating economic changes faster than anyone expected. While AI is boosting productivity, it’s also contributing to job displacement and fueling what could become a dangerous market bubble as investors chase hype over fundamentals. The guys tie these trends back to what they’ve warned about for years: corruption and dysfunction in Washington, a lack of fiscal responsibility, and an economy propped up more by debt than true growth.
