    101. Irrational Exuberance: The Rise of the Dot-Com Bubble (Part 1)

    We're back! And since everyone keeps comparing the AI boom to the dot-com era (and asking if we're in a similar bubble) we decided to kick off Season 3 by taking us all down another rabbit hole to see what really happened. In this episode, Jess and I take you back to the 1990s — when optimism was sky-high, money was cheap, music was great, and anything with “.com” in its name could send Wall Street into a frenzy. We unpack the perfect economic storm that built the dot-com bubble, the wild timeline of events that burst it, and the investor psychology that led even the smartest people to think "this time was different." Why Does This Matter To Me? As we said in Episode 100, sometimes history haunts us, but there are lessons to learn from the past. As we release this episode heading into "Eclipse Season," we're reminded that time is cyclical, spiraled, and layered. What can we learn as self-directed investors from the Dot-Com Bubble? We explain the details of this week's lesson and how it parallels the AI Boom of today in our Free Newsletter! ;) Key Takeaways: The 1990s were the perfect setup for a bubble: Low inflation, low interest rates, and a booming economy gave investors confidence (and cheap money) to chase risk. The Internet fueled the fire. Interesting timing as we ride into the year of the Fire Horse! Technology changed everything - and everyone wanted in: The fast rise of Internet companies made it feel like endless growth was guaranteed. IPOs exploded, valuations skyrocketed, and nobody was looking at profits - sound familiar?FOMO and vibes replaced fundamentals. “Irrational exuberance” described the collective hive-mind that pushed prices higher simply because they were already rising. Everyone was hyped up on optimism and greed, leading to risky investing, and proving that markets run on emotion as much as data. The media amplified the mania: Financial news networks turned investing into entertainment. Analysts became influencers before social media existed, and market updates sounded more like sports commentary than financial analysis. Support the show Ask Us a Question, Leave a Review, Follow, Subscribe: 🔗All Market MakeHer Links 👀 ⁠ ⁠⁠YouTube Channel⁠⁠⁠ ✨ Jess Inskip: ⁠TikTok⁠ ⁠Instagram⁠ ✨ Jessie DeNuit: ⁠TikTok⁠ ⁠Instagram⁠ Funny Finance Shirts and Merch About Us 🌚🌞 Market MakeHer is an investing education podcast taught by a 15-year finance expert to her friend, a beginner investor.

    97. Part 2: Investing Jargon Demystified

    The investing world has a lot of jargon. It can sometimes seem like another language. But it’s not hard to learn, you just need the right teacher to teach you the terms in the right order. Because just like your money compounds with interest, so does your investing knowledge. ;) Check out Part 1 of Investing Jargon (episode 33 or 94) where we covered the first 19 terms that build upon each other. For example, you have to know what capital is before you understand “capital appreciation” or how a stock is defined before you understand stock exchange and stock market. In this episode, Part 2, we cover 11 new essential investing terms that make sense after you learn those previous terms. Learn how to understand the finance-bros from your finance-sis and become fin-fluent. 😀 Episodes Mentioned: 95. Dividend Investing 88. The 11 Sectors 67. Year-end personal finance tips 56.

    96. Top-Down Investing Framework: Time to Zoom Out

    Has anyone ever told you a “hot tip” about a stock to buy? Or do you see suggestions about sectors ETFs to invest in right now on TV or social media because it’s a good time to invest in “xyz industry” for “___” reason?  We’re going to learn how to zoom out, look at all the factors, and actually figure out if a company or industry is a good investment for our individual investing styles. This week, Jess Inskip teaches me, Jessie DeNuit, (and all of you 😉) about “top-down investing,” a strategy that starts with the economy and works its way down to the stock level. It’s about understanding what’s happening in the world, figuring out which sectors benefit, and then zooming in on specific companies. We cover: How to assess the current economic environment using real-world cluesWhy sectors matter and how they respond to changes in growth, inflation, and interest ratesHow to connect the dots from macro trends → sectors → stocksIf you’ve ever felt like your investing decisions are based on isolated info or gut feelings, this episode will help you build a more thoughtful, step-by-step approach. Top-down investing gave me context and confidence - and I think it will for you too. 🔮✨ Support the show Ask Us a Question, Leave a Review, Follow, Subscribe: 🔗All Market MakeHer Links 👀 ⁠ ⁠⁠YouTube Channel⁠⁠⁠ ✨ Jess Inskip: ⁠TikTok⁠ ⁠Instagram⁠ ✨ Jessie DeNuit: ⁠TikTok⁠ ⁠Instagram⁠ Funny Finance Shirts and Merch About Us 🌚🌞 Market MakeHer is an investing education podcast taught by a 15-year finance expert to her friend, a beginner investor.
