think we're gonna have any shoe bombs anytime soon but that doesn't prohibit something else potentially from happening same in the financial world so not another ftx but something else could potentially happen with people listening and getting into different kinds of investments especially now when the market is low some say that it's a good time to get in instead of get out
Do you have any advice for somebody who's thinking about investing in crypto today?
To be fair, some investments are safe and principle protected and bonds and things like that. So if you want lower risk, there are some options. But you're saying, you know, be vigilant. Don't mourn paper losses, which is easy to do. The two days that are most important are the days you buy and the days you sell and everything else is kind of noise.
Death and taxes. Would you get into this space? Would you invest again or have you completely stepped away?
And finally, is there anything else you'd want other victims to know, especially someone who might feel alone or frustrated by the system and the bureaucracy and all the hoops you have to go through to even try to get anything back?

So I have written, count them, five books now. But each time I'm in the writing process, I stay at an Airbnb. I love to stay at an Airbnb. When I was actually first launching this show, I was at an Airbnb in Arizona. It was so peaceful. It was stunning. I could be productive and comfortable. The Airbnb was also surrounded by a ton of javelinas.
If you know Arizona, you know they're like wild pig creatures. But honestly, I love them too. Being away for work, for fun, or both is a perfect opportunity to host your space on Airbnb. And if you think that hosting is overwhelming, I have a solve for you. With Airbnb's co-host network, it's easier than ever before to host. It's also a great way to earn some extra cash, which I know we all love.
Now you can hire a quality local co-host to take care of your home and your guests. They can do everything from creating your listing to managing reservations to messaging guests and even providing on-site support. So if you've got a secondary property or an extended trip coming up and you need a little help hosting while you're away, you can hire a co-host to do the work for you.
Find a co-host at Airbnb.com slash host.
When you open a time checking account, you're one step closer to a better financial future. With no maintenance fees, fee-free overdraft up to 200 bucks, or getting paid up to two days early with direct deposit, making progress has never been easier.
I remember when I was in my 20s and I overdrafted for the first time with an old bank. I didn't even know that I had overdraft protection turned on and that protection would mean a $35 fee on my $5 latte.
I'm Nicole Lappin, the only financial expert you don't need a dictionary to understand. It's time for some money rehab. Hey, guess what? I want to teach you how to grow your money 20,000% in just one day. And I promise it is so, so easy. It is just this one little money move called... insider trading. So if you missed this story, let me first say I'm totally kidding.
Do not try DIY insider trading. It is super duper illegal. But I'll fill you in on what I'm talking about. There was a viral post on X that showed a screenshot of someone, and we do not know who, buying 100 grand worth of zero day options for the S&P 500 index SPY. This means that that person basically made a bet that the stock market would go up that day.
And if they were wrong, they would lose all of that money they'd put in. But what'd you know? They happened to place this order right before President Trump rolled back some of the Liberation Day tariffs. And this person made an estimated 20,900% on their investment or 21 million bucks. Now, the market did not move because of some factor that you or I could have seen coming on a technical chart.
The market moved because of an unexpected announcement the president made. So this person probably is not a fortune teller or even a really skilled investor. They probably had some insider information. Insider trading is a huge issue in Washington. I got intel on this from Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, who came on the show before I went on maternity leave. She told me this.
Well, you know, I've often said that most investors don't beat the market. Well, members of Congress aren't just better investors than most financial advisors. They have access to more information than we do and more influence over stocks than we do for that matter. And they translate that into outperforming the S&P 500 by 17 percent. It is definitely infuriating. But is it illegal?
