Follow the Money is a measured investing and personal finance show centered on what market stress reveals. Jerry Robinson starts with concrete anchors: the U.S. national debt near the $40 trillion mark, rate-cut expectations, the S&P 500, the NASDAQ, gold, silver, Bitcoin, crude oil, the dollar, and moving averages. Then he widens the frame. A sell-off becomes a lesson in discipline. A dollar chart becomes a discussion of currency privilege. A retirement shortfall becomes an argument for liquidity, safe growth, and risk capital serving different jobs. The show is comfortable with technical terms, but it rarely lets the technical language float away from household consequences. That is its useful tension. It talks about empire decline and fiscal pressure, then brings the listener back to cash reserves, diversification, and emotional control. Recent episodes return repeatedly to volatility, retirement planning, crypto weakness, precious metals, tariffs, AI, robotics, uranium, Apple, and the relationship between policy expectations and asset prices. The show is not built around detached market chatter. It has an advisory posture, with Jerry Robinson pressing the idea that uncertainty is normal and that prediction is weaker than preparation. The register is grave, direct, and occasionally dry. There are sales and sponsor passages around precious metals and the usual investment-risk disclaimers, but the editorial center is a sustained argument about reading markets without being ruled by them. Jerry Robinson often contrasts panic with structure. He comes back to buckets, checklists, moving averages, liquidity, and the need to understand what each financial decision is supposed to accomplish. That repetition is part of the show’s identity. It is a market monologue that treats charts, debt, and investor psychology as pieces of the same problem.
Made for: Suits a listener who wants market commentary tied to personal financial decisions, not just headlines. Best fit for someone comfortable hearing about charts, rates, crypto, metals, retirement planning, and macro risk in one continuous frame.
What sets it apart: Follow the Money stands out by turning market moves into behavioral rules and portfolio structure. Its recurring focus is not simply what moved, but what volatility, debt, and currency pressure should change about preparation.

Volatility takes the front seat; discipline does the work.
Silver, gold, and bitcoin give the conversation its charge, but the real point is how volatile markets force discipline. Jerry Robinson leans on chart discipline rather than drama, and the discussion of technical analysis and the CMT process gives the piece a practical edge.
A sober macro warning that turns empire history into portfolio discipline.
Jerry Robinson uses Episode 502 to connect the U.S. economy to a familiar warning about debt, power, the dollar, and the rise and fall of empires. He moves from history to market implications in plain language, then brings it back to U.S.
A measured 2026 outlook that turns macro forecasts into a plainspoken investing framework.
