Markets may be riding high, but the story underneath is a lot more complicated. In this week’s episode of The Personal Wealth Coach, Jake dives into the Fed’s latest rate cut, the strange split between large-cap growth and mid-cap value, and why long-term interest rates keep rising even as short-term ones fall.

He unpacks the S&P 500’s record-setting highs, the tug-of-war in mid-cap value stocks, and what Treasury yields and oil prices are really signaling beneath the headlines.

Jake and Jeff are back in sync—despite a thousand miles of separation—to make sense of the week ending July 18th, 2025. The S&P managed a modest climb, bonds are still dragging their heels, and the Federal Reserve is somehow both everywhere and completely misunderstood. They pull back the curtain on how interest rate decisions are actually made (hint: it’s not just Jerome Powell flipping switches), and why political spin rarely matches economic reality.Then it’s on to the shiny, confusing world
