## Resource

Weekly Wealth Update: A Make Better Wealth Decisions podcast dedicated to explaining how current events impact your portfolio and the wealth decisions you make. Tune in every Monday for commentary on how the news of the week affects your portfolio and your thinking. Are rising oil prices about to trigger the next wave of inflation—and what should investors be doing right now? Global tensions, disrupted supply chains, and constrained energy flows are creating a situation that could keep oil prices elevated for months. For investors, that matters more than most realize. Historically, major spikes in oil prices have often been followed by inflation, market volatility, and economic slowdowns. In this episode, we explore what today’s geopolitical developments could mean for inflation, markets, and long-term investing strategy. You’ll discover: Why rising oil prices have historically triggered inflation and market downturns. What investors can learn from the economic shocks of the 1970s. How to think about portfolio balance during periods of energy shocks and inflation. Listen now to understand how oil prices and inflation could shape the investment landscape—and what smart investors may want to consider before the situation worsens. 🎧📈 John De Goey's Books.
