Linda Garcia, Texas House Representative, author of Wealth Warrior: 8 Steps for Communities of Color to Conquer the Stock Market, and founder of In Luz We Trust, is dedicated to empowering BIPOC and Latinx communities through financial literacy. Her podcast, Investies, tackles real-money topics, demystifies investing, and explores crucial areas like the stock market, money management, and the impact of interest rates on personal finances. Linda’s work advocates for financial independence, championing equity and representation for all, especially immigrants and marginalized communities. As a financial feminist, she encourages listeners—regardless of political affiliation, be it Republican or Democrat—to take control of their financial futures. Through her podcast and advocacy, Linda tackles the intersection of financial education, the economy, and geopolitics, helping diverse communities build wealth and secure their place in today’s financial landscape.

It’s official! Linda is serving as a democrat state representative for Texas house district 107! Today, we’re looking at the current state of the stock market, which has been reaching new highs since the November election. There has been a lot of euphoria in the market, but this isn’t necessarily sustainable for the long term. Linda discusses the reasons behind this growth, including market manipulation. Linda also explains recent news about Trump, AI, Stargate, and more. And just remember: the best way to survive a bumpy economy is to keep track of your investments and personal financial growth!

There are so many ways to make the stock market work for you, and as you gain more experience as an investor, you’ll want to try different ways of trading. If you have questions about different kinds of investing, please reach out! You can find us on Patreon, and submit questions without getting a membership (but we appreciate it if you do decide to invest in our show!). We love speaking with our listeners. Happy investing and happy trading!
