Greg Weldon hosts Money, Markets & New Age Investing, a podcast built on the idea that modern investing requires more than just financial news. It demands a framework that blends disciplined analysis with an understanding of the underlying forces-economic, mathematical, and even scientific-that drive global capital markets. The aim here is to demystify how these complex systems actually work, moving beyond surface-level commentary to explore the mechanics that make markets tick. You’ll hear detailed discussions on specific trading strategies, but always paired with the crucial component of risk management. Weldon emphasizes protecting your downside as much as identifying opportunity, arguing that true capital preservation is the foundation of growth. This isn't about quick tips; it's about developing a structured, informed approach to navigating volatility. Each episode translates vast market data and interconnections into actionable insights, aiming to level the playing field for individual investors. By integrating perspectives from business, investing, mathematics, and science, the podcast provides a unique, multi-disciplinary toolkit for anyone looking to make more deliberate decisions with their capital. Tune in for a rigorous yet accessible deep dive into the principles and tactics that define new age investing.
