In this episode of This Week in Wealth I discuss our inaugural Women's Investment Boardroom, the current state of the markets and double click on the implications of rising bond yields. I also ask if the volatility of Bitcoin means it's classified as an investment, speculation, or gambling. 

The main discussion centres around the importance of understanding bond yields and their impact on the economy, particularly in light of the Bank of England's recent rate cuts while bond yields increase. 

Takeaways:

• The importance of community in investing and finance.
• Market trends can be influenced by various factors, including bond yields.
• Bitcoin's volatility raises questions about its classification as an investment.
• Understanding bond yields is crucial for making informed financial decisions.
• Rising bond yields indicate investor concerns about government debt and inflation.
• The relationship between base rates and bond yields can be complex.
• Fixed income investments are often overlooked but are essential for a balanced portfolio.
• 2025 may present unique opportunities for bond investors.
• Staying informed about economic indicators is vital for all investors.
