YouTube and Google are full of self-proclaimed “financial experts” predicting the next market crash — but should you really listen to them?
In this episode, Tony Zabiegala and Derek Gabrielsen from Strategic Wealth Partners break down the YouTube investing trap and explain why fear, FOMO, and flashy predictions can lead investors astray.
They cover:
- Why fear-driven content gets more clicks than facts
- How COVID fueled the rise of fake online “experts”
- The red flags to look for when watching YouTube financial content
- How to separate education from entertainment
- Why “get rich slow” still beats “get rich quick” every time
From AI-generated content to vague crash predictions, Tony and Derek explain how to stay grounded, focus on your real goals, and avoid falling for bad financial advice online.
🎙️ The Capitalist Investor delivers candid conversations about money, markets, and mindset — cutting through the noise to help you think like a real investor.
