Her podcast, Investies, tackles real-money topics, demystifies investing, and explores crucial areas like the stock market, money management, and the impact of interest rates on personal finances. Linda’s work advocates for financial independence, championing equity and representation for all, especially immigrants and marginalized communities. As a financial feminist, she encourages listeners—regardless of political affiliation, be it Republican or Democrat—to take control of their financial futures. Through her podcast and advocacy, Linda tackles the intersection of financial education, the economy, and geopolitics, helping diverse communities build wealth and secure their place in today’s financial landscape.


Over the course of her financial journey, Linda has learned more and more about the predictive powers of the stock market. Last week, she discussed how the stock market can predict presidential election outcomes. But the past two weeks have been full of unprecedented change in the political landscape, and the stock market is reacting with equal volatility. In today’s episode, Linda breaks down how the stock market is giving us clues about how this election might pan out. She also explains how long-time investors have been reacting to the news cycle and why. Additionally, Linda answers a community member’s question about whether or not it’s polite to ask other investors about their portfolios and their wealth building strategies.
