TCW91: Gold shines bright as the S&P500 faces a grim forecast.

Gold’s glittering again, hitting record highs as the ultimate “safe bet” while the world grapples with election chaos and global tensions. Investors are flocking to it for stability, like it’s the market’s comfort blanket. Meanwhile, Tesla has finally pulled itself out of the gutter with a 20% stock boost, thanks partly to its upcoming Cybertruck (yes, the blocky one that looks like an origami project gone rogue). In bigger market news, Goldman Sachs is predicting the S&P 500 will only see a 3% average return over the next decade, leaving us all wondering if it’s time to rethink the so-called “safe bets.” And wrapping up, luxury brands like Gucci are riding a rocky wave with declining sales, especially in China, but some investors are convinced the bottom is in - because if things get any worse, at least they’ll look fabulous doing it.

TCW89: BP’s climate u-turn & Google faces a breakup.

BP’s playing the villain this week - remember those ambitious climate goals? Yeah, they’ve hit reverse. Instead of cutting oil production by 2030, they’re now raising it. We dive into why one of the world’s biggest oil companies is prioritising profits over the planet and what this means for investors (and our future). Speaking of villains, Google’s under fire from the US government, which is trying to break up their search monopoly. With 90% of the market in their grip, it’s no surprise the powers that be are trying to knock them down a peg. Then, let’s talk about Henry - no, not that guy Sophie dated, but the “High Earner, Not Rich Yet” crew. If you’re earning big but still feel like your bank account is stuck on empty, you might be a Henry. We break down why even high earners are struggling to build wealth in today’s economy and how you can avoid falling into that trap. Watch this episode on YouTube.
