What a time to be an investor! On this episode of Money Moves, Matty A. and Ryan Breedwell dive into the massive market volatility driven by the escalating US-Iran conflict and President Trump's intense posturing. With an 8 PM deadline looming and futures swinging wildly on ceasefire rumors, Ryan breaks down how institutional money is playing the chaos—and why you should stick to your plan. Plus, they explore a groundbreaking new crypto-backed mortgage product and the growing distress in the commercial real estate market.

Episode Highlights

• The Geopolitical Shockwaves: Ryan discusses the wild market swings, noting that despite the intense headlines and Trump's 8 PM deadline, he successfully bought the dip last Thursday right before a major market rally. They analyze the impact of "The Don" and his aggressive posturing on the world stage.

• Oil, Inflation & The Fed: Despite the noise, oil prices are retracting, and Ryan predicts a sub-3% CPI report. They also discuss the future of interest rates, with Ryan firmly predicting a rate cut in July once the new Fed Chair is appointed.

• Crypto Enters the Mortgage Market: Coinbase and Fannie Mae have partnered with Better Home and Finance to allow homebuyers to use Bitcoin and USDC as collateral for down payments, a major step for crypto integration in traditional finance.

• Commercial Real Estate Distress: CMBS distress debt rates have climbed to 12%, with delinquency cycles reaching 9.6%. Matty breaks down what this means for regional banks and commercial investors caught in the "messy middle" of maturing loans.

In this episode of the Wise Investor Segment, host Matty A breaks down the silent killer that destroys more wealth than bad deals and bad markets combined: ego.

Through the tale of two contrasting investors during the 2008 financial crash, Matty A reveals why the individuals who survived and thrived weren't necessarily the smartest or most well-connected. The true survivors were those willing to check their egos at the door, downsize their lifestyle, cut overhead, and get liquid early before they were forced to do so .

What We Cover:

• The 2008 Reality Check: The story of "Mike and Dave" and how the inability to downsize an identity led to bankruptcy for flashier investors .
• Hidden Wealth: Insights from Morgan Housel's The Psychology of Money on why spending money to show people how much you have is the fastest way to have less money .
• The Danger of Stubbornness: Why intelligent and successful people often hold onto losing investments for too long because selling at a loss feels like admitting a mistake.
• Strategic Defense: Why shifting strategies, getting lean, and quietly shoring up positions is the key to playing the long game and being ready to strike when others are fearful .
