Why is money flowing back into emerging markets when the U.S. has been the market to beat?

That is the question Michelle Connell, Andrew Tang, and I tackle on Wealth Transparency. Earlier this year, money moved out. Now it is coming back, and the reason goes beyond diversification. Technology companies in these markets are gaining traction; their valuations have been cheaper than comparable U.S. technology companies, and these economies are growing faster than ours and becoming a larger share of global GDP.

If you think the U.S. is the only market worth watching, tomorrow's full Wealth Transparency episode may open your eyes to why the rest of the world deserves a closer look.

You paid for the tariff. Now the Supreme Court has ruled against it, and you may never see that money again.

That is the part of this ruling that keeps me up at night. On American Sunrise on Real America's Voice, I laid out why hundreds of billions of dollars are now in question while America is already $40 trillion in debt and running a $1.7 trillion deficit.

Losing that revenue while we are already this far underwater should scare every single American.

If you are not alarmed by what this ruling means for our country, watch my full interview on American Sunrise.

The numbers that moved McDonald's stock were not the ones Wall Street was watching.

Revenue missed. Traffic fell. I believe the biggest reason the stock is up because they hedged beef and potato prices at exactly the right time. That is impressive ex*****on. It is not a reason to own the stock.

The trend line for fast food is negative, and it is getting worse. I believe GLP-1s are shifting behavior. The value meal is cannibalizing full orders. Competition is intensifying across every price point.

My call on Morning Trade Live on Schwab Network: short McDonald's. And there are two names in this space I actually like right now: Shake Shack and Yum! Brands.

See exactly why I would not touch McDonald's here, and what I would do instead.

The first-time home buyer in America is now 40 years old.

40% of women under 35 are childless. Ten years ago, that number was 29%. We are down to 1.3 children per family.

Michelle Connell said it first. Andrew Tang confirmed it. And then Andrew said something that I have not been able to shake.

"We're heading towards disintegration."

This is not a political opinion. This is what housing affordability may be contributing to in real-time, and it is showing up in ways most people are not yet connecting.

Tomorrow on Wealth Transparency, Michelle and Andrew take me through the full picture, including what it could mean for your portfolio.

If this clip hit you, the full episode will hit harder. Come back tomorrow.

A new episode of Making Sense with Ed Butowsky is here, and the number that deserves your attention is not the deficit. It is in the interest. I tear apart in detail why paying roughly $1 trillion a year just to service our national debt has become one of the biggest financial challenges facing our country, and why I believe too many people overlook it. Watch now to see the numbers behind the interest payments and decide for yourself what they mean for America's financial future.

Suppose a family earns $70,000 a year, spends $94,000, and puts $24,000 annually on a credit card that already carries a $532,000 balance. In this edition of Making Sense with Ed Butowsky, I expose how that exact household breakdown mirrors the reality of our $40 trillion national debt and devouring interest payments. When you see our country's financial burden translated into everyday terms, the quiet threat to your family's purchasing power becomes undeniable. Tap play right now to confront these real numbers and protect your financial future.
