Is your investing strategy too narrow for today’s volatile markets?

In this episode of the MoneyShow MoneyMasters Podcast, we’re joined by Paul Hickey, co-founder of Bespoke Investment Group and one of the most respected market analysts on Wall Street. Known for his “fusion” approach to investing, Paul combines technicals, fundamentals, macro trends, and historical data to give a 360° view of what’s really moving the market—and what most people miss.

From volatility spikes to surprising earnings strength, Paul breaks down the disconnect between soft survey data and hard economic outcomes, why Mag 7 stocks may not be the future’s big winners, and how a single tweet can derail global markets.

He also explains how smart investors should approach the second half of 2025—what to watch, what to tune out, and why discipline always beats prediction.

Whether you're deep into trading or just managing your long-term portfolio, Paul’s insights will help you cut through the noise and stay one step ahead.
