Market Mondays

In this episode of Market Mondays, we break down one of the most unpredictable markets we’ve seen in years. Inflation has surged to a 2-year high, raising serious questions about whether the Fed is losing control and what it will actually take to bring rates down. At the same time, oil prices have crossed the $100 mark, banks are quietly positioning against private credit, and a new investigation into Lululemon could shake investor confidence. We also dive into the Nasdaq’s recent winning streak—is this real strength or a setup for a major pullback? Plus, we talk about Sandisk’s historic run, the rise of anti-capitalism sentiment, and whether quantum computing stocks still deserve the hype. To close it out, we share one timeless investing lesson that every investor needs to understand in today’s market. Special guest 19 Keys joins the conversation to break down the future of AI agents, how automation is reshaping the economy, and what it all means for investors moving forward. #MarketMondays #Investing #StockMarket #Inflation #FederalReserve #OilPrices #Nasdaq #AI #QuantumComputing #WealthBuilding #Finance #InvestSmart #EconomicNews Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

This week on Market Mondays we’re getting tactical and long-term: your futures trading tip of the week, the biggest mistakes younger investors make chasing fast wins, and the most important investing lessons this year reinforced. We also get personal about the mindset shifts that matter—what we used to disagree with early on, then changed our mind about later, and the questions people should be asking if they actually want to build wealth over decades (not just catch a lucky trade). Then we dive into what’s moving markets right now: Oracle as a business and investment, whether the AI narrative tied to SoftBank/OpenAI has pushed expectations too far, and what really caused Friday’s sell-off—plus whether it quietly changed market structure more than most people realize. We break down the Coinbase vs. MicroStrategy vs. IBIT debate, talk about whether we’re headed toward a real correction or just another emotional shakeout, and if the market is broadening beyond tech or setting up a head fake before leadership narrows again. We also hit the high-volatility conversations: Super Micro’s relevance in AI infrastructure, how elite traders handle ES and NQ moving in sync, and whether leveraged ETFs like NVDL/AMDL are advanced tools—or long-term portfolio destroyers in disguise. Plus: quantum computing (obvious leaders vs. sleeper names), and a real discussion on how to balance fitness, family, investing, travel, and content creation without burning out. And we’re joined by Derrick Hayes to talk about his business journey and what it really takes to scale. #MarketMondays #Investing #Stocks #FuturesTrading #DayTrading #LongTermInvesting #FinancialLiteracy #WealthBuilding #AI #Oracle #Crypto #Bitcoin #Coinbase #MicroStrategy #IBIT #ETFs #LeveragedETFs #NVDL #AMDL #TechStocks #MarketNews #TradingPsychology #RiskManagement #QuantumComputing #Entrepreneurship #DerrickHayes #EarnYourLeisure Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

This week on Market Mondays, we kick things off with our Futures Trading Tip of the Week and a breakdown of the biggest investing mistake of the year. We dive into the shocking rebound of Carvana joining the S&P 500 after nearly going bankrupt — debating whether it’s a true comeback story or a sign the market is getting reckless again. We also break down the massive bidding war for Warner Bros Discovery, who needs WBD the most to survive the next decade, and what this means for the future of media. Caleb Silver, Editor-in-Chief of Investopedia, joins us with expert data and insight throughout the discussion. We compare Paramount’s heavy debt load to Netflix’s growth and free cash flow dominance and question whether a Netflix–WBD deal would spark a new era of media consolidation or run into regulatory roadblocks. From there, we shift to AI and corporate strategy, analyzing IBM’s $11B acquisition of Confluent and whether M&A is becoming the quiet force powering the next leg of the AI boom. We also cover holiday spending vs weak investor sentiment, whether investors should rotate into safer stocks, and what Wednesday’s Fed decision could mean for markets heading into 2026. To wrap up, we go rapid-fire: the most attractive stocks currently dipping for LEAPs and swing trades, which companies are less likely to be corrupt or mismanaged, whether failed AI bets could force bailouts in tech, Bitcoin’s next move toward $65K or $70K, Apple’s potential talent crisis after losing multiple key executives, and if an oil collapse into the $30s could make the entire energy sector uninvestable.

In this Market Mondays clip, Rashad Bilal, Ian Dunlap, and Troy Millings break down the strategic moves and under-the-radar companies driving the explosive AI sector. Troy Millings takes viewers behind the scenes of EY University, sharing insights on how the AI revolution is being monetized—not just through household names like Nvidia, Broadcom, and AMD, but also through key players that keep the tech ecosystem running smoothly. Dive into the analogy of the AI ecosystem modeled after the human body: Nvidia stands as the heart, Broadcom as the veins, and Fabrinet emerges as a crucial valve accelerating connectivity. Troy highlights how diligent research led to the identification of Fabrinet and then pivots to discuss the soaring memory sector, featuring Micron and Western Digital. A major spotlight is placed on SanDisk, Western Digital’s flash storage spin-off, which recently went public and saw an impressive performance spike. Learn why immediate demand for memory and flash storage, underscored by Samsung’s inability to fulfill all orders, has made SanDisk a leader in SSD and flash—and why its addition to the S&P 500 could mean major index fund investments are about to flow in.

Bitcoin’s slide has the entire market asking the same question: is this the beginning of real trouble, or the setup for the biggest buying opportunity of the year? This week on Market Mondays, we break down the volatility across crypto, AI, and equities as investors brace for major moves. From Peter Thiel unloading all his Nvidia and cutting 76% of his Tesla stake, to MicroStrategy trading below its net asset value, we analyze whether these are smart exits or signals of deeper cracks forming in the system. At the same time, the tech world is flashing warning signs—Meta is down 23%, Palantir is down 16%, and CoreWeave has crashed over 50%. With Nvidia reporting this week, the entire S&P 500 feels like it’s tied to a single stock. Are we watching an AI bubble quietly deflate, or a temporary shakeout before the next run? Meanwhile, consumer discretionary is having its worst month in six months and financial stocks are hitting new highs. We break down whether this rotation into safety is healthy, or a setup for a major reversal. We close the episode with the biggest opportunities hiding in the chaos: which distressed assets might actually be long-term winners, why the bond market is having its strongest year since 2020, and what these signals mean heading into Black Friday and 2026. Plus—we share our hot takes on investing that most people don’t agree with. If you want clarity on the markets, sentiment, and strategy, this is the episode you need. #MarketMondays #EarnYourLeisure #Bitcoin #Nvidia #AIStocks #Tesla #MicroStrategy #PeterThiel #Finance #Investing #StockMarket #WealthBuilding #FuturesTrading #CoreWeave #Meta #Palantir #SNP500 Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

In this powerful clip of Market Mondays, Rashad Bilal, Ian Dunlap, and Troy Millings dive deep into the global tech and investing landscape—focusing on Nvidia’s sudden departure from the Chinese market. Host Rashad kicks off the discussion by raising questions about Nvidia’s abrupt shift from having 95% market share in China to zero, following US-China tech tensions. Is this move long-term trouble for Nvidia’s stock, or is CEO Jensen Huang playing political chess? Ian Dunlap pulls no punches, comparing the situation to historic moments like the moon landing and drawing parallels to Apple’s strategic moves in India. He highlights how companies can’t play both sides in a technological war and that sometimes, greed can blind executives to geopolitical realities. Ian predicts Nvidia will work to offset losses by forging partnerships elsewhere—most likely in India or the UAE, where tech investments are surging. Troy Millings zeros in on Nvidia’s resilient stock price, pointing out that the market barely budged despite this major announcement. The conversation pivots to the importance of geographical diversification and the rising influence of Gulf States like UAE and Saudi Arabia as the new funding hubs for global tech. The trio also gets into the nitty-gritty of international policy, IP theft, and global supply chains—breaking down how America innovates, the Middle East invests, China copies, and Europe regulates. Rashad and Ian discuss the tightrope walk companies like Apple and Nvidia face in China, noting the government’s drive to develop and protect its own tech sector—even if it means bypassing superior American products. They explore the potential fallout if China invades Taiwan and the role of semiconductor titans like TSMC—where kill switches in chip fabs could be a game-changer for global tech dominance. With constant shifts in trade agreements, aggressive copycat strategies by China, and new opportunities blooming in UAE, India, and Saudi Arabia, this clip exposes how cutthroat and rapidly evolving the tech world has become. Tune in to hear why the guys believe America’s short-term strategic planning could come back to haunt it as countries like China think decades ahead, and why your investment strategy should account for more than quarterly earnings. *Hashtags:* #MarketMondays #Nvidia #ChinaTech #GlobalInvesting #IanDunlap #RashadBilal #TroyMillings #UAEInvestment #TechWar #Apple #TSMC #Semiconductors #Geopolitics #StockMarket #AI #TradeWar #Innovation #BusinessNews #Investing #MiddleEastTech Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Dive deep with the Market Mondays crew as they break down the alarming state of the US labor market in this thought-provoking clip! Rashad Bilal, Ian Dunlap, and Troy Millings address the latest reports showing a drastic slowdown—only 22,000 jobs added in August, unemployment on the rise, and for the first time since 2021, more Americans are out of work than there are jobs available. The hosts discuss the critical macro issues behind these numbers, including the mismanagement of US debt, the government's new venture capitalist approach, and how artificial intelligence is quickly replacing traditional jobs. What’s even more disturbing? Job numbers are routinely being revised downward by as much as 100,000–125,000 jobs, painting an even worse picture for the future. Entrepreneurship is no longer optional—it's essential. With the gig economy rising and traditional jobs less available, finding alternative sources of income has become a necessity. The hosts delve into why commission-based work, investing, and side hustles are now crucial to survival, especially as Black Americans and women face even higher unemployment rates. Plus, they explore the impact of falling interest rates, how tech companies are poised to benefit, and why the economic gap is widening. It's a tale of two economies: if you make $200k+, it’s a boom cycle; under $100k, it’s a recession. This is an essential watch for anyone trying to understand what’s really happening in today’s new economic reality. Key Topics Covered: US labor market stats: job creation vs. unemployment trends Government debt and the shift to venture investing AI’s impact on employment and the future of work The gig economy and alternative streams of income Racial and gender unemployment disparities Effects of changing interest rates on different industries Why planning for the next decade is more crucial than ever Don’t miss this honest, data-driven conversation—for entrepreneurs, employees, and investors alike.

In this insightful clip from *Market Mondays*, Bitcoin and crypto analyst Ian Dunlap tackles one of the hottest topics in crypto right now: the recent pullback after Bitcoin hit its high. Ian reminds us that in traditional markets, a price drop after a peak is typical—not something to panic about. So, why is the crypto crowd so surprised by this correction? Ian shares his expert take on where smart investors should be looking to enter, highlighting $104,977 as a prime entry point. He addresses the talk and fear swirling in the market about deeper drops all the way to $82,000, and explains why that fear (or "FUD") might be overblown. Looking ahead, Ian's outlook is confident: give Bitcoin two months, and we could see it climb right back to the $120K–$125K range and likely surpass previous all-time highs. For anyone wondering if now is the time to get in—or freaking out about volatility—this clip offers grounded, level-headed perspective from an industry pro. *Key highlights from this clip:* Why market pullbacks after all-time highs are normal—even in crypto.Ian’s preferred Bitcoin entry price: $104,977.Thoughts on the much-discussed $82K drop and why it shouldn’t worry you.A clear timeline and price prediction for Bitcoin’s potential rebound.Addressing FUD and why patience is key for crypto investors.

In this insightful Market Mondays clip, hosts Ian Dunlap, Troy Millings, and Rashad Bilal are joined by a top financial commentator as they dive deep into Nvidia's unparalleled impact on the tech and AI market. The team unpacks why Nvidia stands out as not just a dominant force, but perhaps the most influential company today—surpassing Apple in both relevance and innovation. Ian starts by highlighting Nvidia’s visionary move to focus on building America’s AI infrastructure instead of jumping on the social media and app bandwagon like many Silicon Valley peers. He likens Nvidia’s role to “Tim Duncan” for the market, stepping up with game-changing chips right when the U.S. needed technological leadership. With bold multi-year price targets, Ian credits Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang’s relentless drive and paranoia as crucial to the company's success, noting their culture of mission-driven work as unmatched: “Everyone there was working on a mission, on a purpose.” Rashad reflects on the incredible financial impacts Nvidia has brought to the Market Mondays audience, asserting that no other company discussed on the show has changed more people’s financial situations. Looking ahead, Rashad thinks Nvidia’s dominance is only getting started, predicting several more years of strong stock price growth—especially as AI adoption explodes and enterprise demand for Nvidia GPUs becomes mandatory for anyone who wants to compete. The panel collectively recognizes the critical role Nvidia plays in powering not just major players like Microsoft, Meta, Broadcom, and TSM, but also a multitude of emerging AI platforms. Rashad states plainly, “You’re not going to be able to lead or even compete in the space without them, and that’s not going to change.” In a jaw-dropping moment, the team discusses where Nvidia could be headed in the next few years, with a long-term price call that suggests the company could add another trillion dollars to its valuation—something the market has never witnessed before. Whether you’re invested in AI, interested in the next big market mover, or simply a fan of top-tier analysis, this clip lays out why Nvidia is in a class of its own—and why watching their next moves is essential for savvy investors.

In this episode, we dive deep into the biggest stories shaping the markets right now. Intel has officially fallen out of the top 10 semiconductor companies — is it too late for them to catch up, and which 3 chipmakers should investors focus on instead? We also break down how stock options can be used as a powerful wealth-building tool when used the right way. With Nvidia flirting with a $4 trillion valuation after an explosive 870% AI-led rally, we discuss whether it’s headed for a meltdown or another breakout — and which overlooked metric might signal what’s next. Bitcoin also hit a new all-time high heading into Crypto Week, and we break down what this means for the broader crypto market. Next, we analyze who the real winners and losers in Big Tech have been since Trump took office, and what it means for investors moving forward. With U.S. equity fund inflows collapsing from $31.6 billion to just $2.1 billion, we ask: are you buying the dip or parking cash on the sidelines?

In this special Market Mondays clip, the hosts dive deep into why Uber might just be the sleeper stock of the decade. Troy Millings breaks down his bullish long-term view on Uber, especially as the company stands to benefit from the coming wave of autonomous vehicles. With competitors like Waymo pushing into new markets and the constant talk around Tesla and robo-taxis, is Uber’s powerful platform and trusted brand its ultimate edge? The conversation unpacks how autonomous vehicle partnerships could revolutionize Uber, especially as driver costs are the biggest expense for the company. Food delivery isn’t left out—imagine a world where your meals arrive without a driver, putting even more revenue right into Uber’s pocket. Ian Dunlap and Rashad Bilal join in to discuss Uber’s recent stock performance, its impressive turnaround from the low $20s in 2022, and why the company isn’t even at $100 per share yet. They touch on Uber’s competition with Lyft, the fallout from the old Uber vs. Google/Waymo lawsuit, and why Uber remains the household name despite the ride-sharing wars. If you’re curious about investing strategies, Troy also breaks down *leap options*: what they are, why he prefers to go out as far as possible (sometimes 2–3 years ahead), and how deep-in-the-money strikes can maximize gains while minimizing risk. He throws in a reference to how prominent figures like Nancy Pelosi use similar long-term option strategies for major blue-chip stocks, and explains his personal approach to playing Uber for the long game. Whether you’re an investor in the tech space, a fan of finance news, or you just want the inside scoop on where ride-sharing and delivery is heading, this clip packs actionable insight you won’t want to miss. *Topics covered:* Uber’s potential in autonomous vehicles The competition (Waymo, Lyft, Tesla’s robo-taxi ambitions) The importance of trust and platform dominance in ride-sharing How autonomous food delivery could boost Uber’s revenue Explanation of leap options and “deep-in-the-money” strategies Real-world examples from high-profile investors The reason Uber’s stock price could soon reflect its full potential Stay tuned for more Market Mondays as we bring you fresh takes, real numbers, and strategies from the streets to the boardroom. *Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and comment with your thoughts or questions below!* #Uber #MarketMondays #Stocks #Investing #AutonomousVehicles #OptionsTrading #LeapOptions #Finance #Rideshare #TechStocks #Waymo #Tesla #FinancialEducation #StockMarket #LongTermInvesting Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

In this thought-provoking **Market Mondays clip**, Rashad Bilal sits down with futurist 19 Keys to explore the transformative power of technology in today’s world. The conversation dives deep into how artificial intelligence and quantum computing are shifting not only the economy but also the very way we think and live. 19 Keys shares his compelling thesis on the current state of technology: imagine a world without the internet—it’s almost impossible now. Soon, AI will be just as integrated into our lives. From boosting GDP as the workforce changes, to democratizing computer science around the globe, AI’s reach is undeniable. But that power comes with both opportunities and dangers. The discussion moves into the concept of “cognitive surplus”—as AI takes over mundane tasks, it frees up human minds for deeper, creative thinking and innovation. 19 Keys argues we’re entering a new cognitive renaissance era, where the ability to process, synthesize, and defend our thoughts is the new gold. In a landscape flooded with distractions and manipulation, especially in communities facing stress and limited resources, cognitive security becomes just as important as technological literacy. But it’s not all utopia: 19 Keys also acknowledges AI’s double-edged nature. While it can spur empowerment and renaissance, it’s also a tool for psychological warfare—able to influence beliefs and manipulate vulnerable populations. For those able to harness both technology and mental discipline, however, a new age of enlightenment is on the horizon. Whether you see AI as a liberator or a threat, this clip offers crucial insights for anyone wanting to prepare for the rapidly changing future. Are you ready to embrace the cognitive renaissance? *Timestamps:* (If you’d like detailed timestamps, let us know in the comments!) *Key Takeaways:* How AI is redefining what it means to be human The risks of cognitive manipulation in the era of psychological warfare Why deep thinking and mental resilience are becoming our most valuable assets The real opportunities for renaissance and innovation, especially within marginalized communities Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more powerful insights from the Market Mondays team! *#MarketMondays #19Keys #RashadBilal #ArtificialIntelligence #CognitiveRenaissance #FutureOfTech #TechTalk #FinancialFreedom #BlackExcellence #AIRevolution* Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

In this thought-provoking Market Mondays clip, the hosts Rashad Bilal, Ian Dunlap, and Troy Millings dive into the intersection of war, technology, and market resilience. They start by breaking down the “war index” — highlighting major players like Palantir, Anderil, OpenAI, Microsoft, and Meta — and reveal how data and algorithms are the new battlegrounds alongside traditional military might. Discover why having user data on 3.4 billion people gives Meta unprecendented influence, and how information (and propaganda) shape global conflict just as much as firepower. The conversation pivots to current geopolitical flashpoints, including Yemen’s bold entry into the fray, the critical importance of waterways like the Strait of Hormuz, and the complex dance between America, Israel, Iran, China, and Russia.

In this Market Mondays clip, hosts Rashad Bilal, Troy Millings, and Ian Dunlap dive deep into the remarkable comeback story of Robinhood. Once seen as a volatile platform for retail traders—often criticized for its gamification and accessibility—Robinhood has defied the odds, overcoming tough times and transforming into a force within the trading world. Fresh from their discussion at Bloomberg with Romaine, the hosts break down Robinhood’s recent surge, exploring how the stock went from lows of $6.85 in 2022 to hitting highs around $77 in 2024. Ian highlights the stellar leadership of CEO Vlad Tenev, comparing his resilience and vision to iconic turnarounds like that of Uber under Dara Khosrowshahi. Vlad’s unwavering commitment, ability to lean into criticism, and innovation—like embracing options, futures, and even sports betting—have driven Robinhood’s resurgence. Troy discusses how Robinhood’s controversial gamification actually played a pivotal role in educating and attracting younger retail investors to more sophisticated trading products. The conversation touches on the company’s evolution from a simple app to a comprehensive desktop experience and how continued platform improvements have paralleled its financial success, with profit margins reaching an impressive 48.77%.

In this Market Mondays clip, hosts Rashad Bilal, Ian Dunlap, and Troy Millings dive deep into their recent experiences in Africa, uncovering surprising perspectives and huge opportunities on the continent. The conversation kicks off with a candid look at how African leaders and government insiders see American politics, especially the surprising pro-Trump sentiment among some officials. Rashad reveals that many on the continent actually prefer a “hands-off” Republican approach, seeing it as less meddlesome than Democratic policies. This segment offers a rare global perspective on US politics and what it means for international investment. Next, the trio explores Africa’s emerging role as the world’s breadbasket. Beyond minerals, the future is in farming—think mega-farms, massive livestock operations, and the enormous value of African produce. Did you know that 80% of the roses gracing Europe’s Valentine’s Day come straight out of Kenya? Or that Ghana and Ivory Coast are responsible for 80% of the world’s cocoa supply? The team spotlights the hidden goldmine in African agriculture, from lucrative tea farms in Kenya to the skyrocketing demand for land and food production. They also touch on why international players—from Europe to China—are increasingly investing in Africa, despite media narratives. With fertile soil, ideal climates, and a talented local workforce, Africa is positioned not just as a resource hub, but as a critical player in future global food security. Plus, there’s a special shoutout to Rashad’s book "You Deserve To Be Rich" making Barnes & Noble’s top reads of 2025 so far! And, they highlight the need for more African bookstores and access to educational resources. Whether you’re an investor, entrepreneur, or just curious about global trends, this clip is packed with insights on Africa’s agricultural boom, international politics, and untapped opportunities that could shape the next 50 years. *Key topics in this clip:* ✔️ African perspectives on US politics: Republicans vs. Democrats ✔️ The next big wave: farming, vegetation & livestock ✔️ Surprising stats: Kenyan roses, Ghanaian cocoa, and more ✔️ How global powers are investing in Africa’s future ✔️ Book shoutouts & the importance of access to resources Don’t miss this in-depth conversation—your next big investment idea might just be growing in African soil! *Hashtags:* #MarketMondays #AfricaInvestment #FarmingGoldRush #GlobalPolitics #AfricanAgriculture #MarketInsights #YouDeserveToBeRich #KenyanRoses #GhanaCocoa #EconomicTrends #AfricanDevelopment #Clip --- 👍 Like, comment, and subscribe for more real talk on business, investing, and global money moves!

This week on Market Mondays, we’re breaking down a pivotal moment in the markets. After Apple, Amazon, Meta, and Microsoft reported earnings, we’re asking: are these tech giants still long-term compounders, or are buybacks and creative accounting hiding peak performance? Alphabet’s $70 billion stock buyback is under the spotlight, and Tesla’s stock jumped on Robotaxi hype — even as its fundamentals weakened. Elon Musk says Tesla doesn’t need to buy Uber, but is that a strategic power move or a missed opportunity in autonomous transport? Meanwhile, Huawei’s new AI chip spooked Nvidia investors — are cracks forming in the king of semis, or will U.S. geopolitics protect its dominance? Beyond tech, we explore the consumer and macro landscape. Spotify is nearing a breakout — is this real growth or macro-fueled momentum? ARK Innovation is surging again — is Cathie Wood making a comeback or just catching a Nasdaq wave? Domino’s missed on same-store sales, DoorDash made a $3.6B bid for Deliveroo, and e.l.f. just bought Hailey Bieber’s Rhode brand for $1B. Is global consolidation the next growth phase in food delivery? Are influencer-led beauty brands the future — or a risky bet on hype? And with Monster, Celsius, and Vita Coco battling for beverage dominance, who really has the edge in a slowing economy? We also dive into the economic outlook. U.S. GDP contracted by -0.2%, inflation appears mild but sentiment is at historic lows, and Treasury yields are climbing. Are we heading into recession, stagflation, or just a soft patch? Is now the time to rotate into risk or go defensive? Gold topped $3,400, oil prices dipped despite demand, and Palantir landed a $795M federal AI contract — is this the beginning of a broader AI-government integration wave? Plus, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq surging while the Dow lags behind, we ask: is this the start of a real breakout — or another trap before the next downturn?

In this insightful Market Mondays clip, Rashad Bilal, Ian Dunlap, and Troy Millings break down two of the week’s biggest financial headlines that could shake up the markets: President Trump’s executive order to lower prescription drug prices and Amazon’s strategic acquisition of AMD shares. First, the hosts dive deep into the possible long-term impacts of Trump’s new executive order aiming to slash prescription drug costs across the board. They discuss the potential winners—everyday consumers in need of lower medication costs—and the possible losers, notably major pharmaceutical companies that may see profit margins squeezed. The conversation covers how this move could spur much-needed innovation within the healthcare sector, but also draws attention to challenges such as lobbying pressure and lengthy litigation.

They clarify the technical details and examine how this plays into Amazon’s push for self-reliance in AI infrastructure and chip development, following in the footsteps of giants like Apple making their own chips. The discussion also touches on how this integration of hardware and internal resources could position Amazon for even more dominance in the AI race and tech industry at large.

In this insightful clip, Rashad Bilal, Troy Millings, and Ian Dunlap break down Tesla’s recent, shocking earnings report—a staggering 71% drop in net income for Q1 2025. Despite falling vehicle deliveries, dipping automotive revenue, and mounting struggles in China, the U.S., and Europe, Tesla’s stock price went up. How does that make sense?

But is that enough to restore investor faith?

In this thought-provoking clip from MM, Troy Millings, Rashad Bilal, and Ian Dunlap sit down to discuss a topic that's on everyone's mind but rarely gets seriously questioned: What is the real price of the products we buy? As tariffs rise and markets shift, the trio unpacks how consumer goods—from luxury items like handbags and cars to everyday essentials—are being marked up far beyond their actual manufacturing costs. The conversation digs deep into the economics behind pricing, exposing how the lack of transparency and unchecked capitalism in America has led to unsustainable price hikes, even for necessities. Rashad highlights recent viral videos showing shockingly low production costs in China for furniture, clothing, and more, sparking a fresh debate on how capitalism and belief systems influence what we're willing to pay. Ian points out that while inflation and product costs soar, wages remain stagnant, putting increased pressure on families and driving record-high credit card debt. They question if some regulation is overdue, especially as essential items are being priced more like luxury goods, threatening to spark economic unrest. The clip also contrasts American and Chinese models of economic growth, noting how collective action and long-term planning in China have lifted millions out of poverty, while America’s short-term focus and influence of powerful oligarchs have contributed to growing inequality and market instability. From healthcare and education costs to the global implications of AI in medicine, this clip leaves listeners rethinking not just the price tags on goods—but the systems and beliefs that put them there. *Key topics covered:* Real cost vs. retail price of goods in America and ChinaThe role of capitalism, markups, and corporate greedHow market belief systems set value and priceTariffs, inflation, and stagnant wagesEssential vs. luxury items: where do we draw the line?Short-term vs. long-term economic planning in America and abroadThe rise of American oligarchs and their effect on democracyWhy regulation, transparency, and alternatives matter for the future Learn why questioning the true cost of what you buy is more important than ever, and how this conversation offers a blueprint for understanding—and possibly changing—the economic game. --- *Hashtags:* #Economy #Capitalism #ProductPricing #ChinaVsUSA #MMMedium #Tariffs #CostOfLiving #ConsumerTruth #MarketValue #EconomicReality #WealthGap #FinancialEducation --- For more insightful conversations, subscribe and hit the bell so you don’t miss a single clip from MM Medium.

We break down the big questions: Will Tesla ever hit $1,000 again? Is gold’s surge to $3,300 a long-term breakout or just fear-driven hype? What’s the real impact of Powell’s no-rate-cut stance, and is this policy purgatory draining investor portfolios? Plus, we cover why Bitcoin’s first real recession test could be coming soon, and whether ASML’s decline signals a peak for the chipmaker. We also dig into Nvidia’s $5.5 billion hit, Trump’s lowest-ever economic approval rating, and if Google’s best days are behind us. Should you cut your AMD position or ride it out?

Ray Dalio also raised eyebrows this week with his warning about something “greater than a recession”—we break down what he might be signaling. Then there’s NVIDIA’s massive $500 billion commitment to building American-made AI supercomputers in the U.S. for the first time.

The price to buy NVIDIA, How should investors navigate the bond market during uncertain times? And if you have $1.2 million to invest while making $100K annually, is the “2 tech, 2 index” strategy the best move—or are there smarter options?

In this insightful clip, join Troy Millings, Rashad Bilal, and Ian Dunlap as they dive deep into the transformative world of technology and AI. The rapid advancements in these fields pose both exciting opportunities and significant challenges, especially for underrepresented communities. The discussion sheds light on the urgent need for greater awareness and representation of the Black community within the tech industry. With technology often developed predominantly outside of America, mainly in countries like China and India, there's an increasing concern that Black Americans are not participating enough in shaping these crucial advancements. This lack of representation may lead to further marginalization if left unaddressed. A particularly striking assertion is that while China uses social media platforms to bolster its image, it might also be contributing to societal dysfunction in the U.S. The trio critically examines America's current educational approach to AI, drawing stark contrasts with China's proactive strategy of teaching AI from an early age. To counter these challenges, the hosts emphasize the importance of prioritizing technology education, entrepreneurship, and investment in minority communities. They argue that increasing representation in tech is essential to avoid becoming a "permanent underclass" and to ensure that legal frameworks provide protections against potential AI-induced discrimination. Join us for this critical conversation and let's explore the paths needed to foster inclusivity and accountability in the tech sector. By working together, we can bridge existing gaps and secure a rightful place in the future tech landscape. *Hashtags:* #AI #Technology #Representation #TechEducation #Inclusion #Entrepreneurship #FutureOfTech #Innovation Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

In this insightful clip from our latest conversation, Rashad Bilal, Ian Dunlap, and Troy Millings delve into the recent legal win for XRP and what it could mean for the future of cryptocurrency. With XRP potentially making a comeback, now able to be listed on platforms like Coinbase, our analysts discuss whether this might trigger a resurgence in its popularity. Financial analyst Ian Dunlap shares his take on XRP's market potential, expressing doubt about the cryptocurrency reaching an astronomical value of $25,000, but he remains optimistic about more realistic targets like $5 or $7. Meanwhile, Troy Millings speculates on the involvement of big tech and fintech giants like Goldman Sachs in creating ETFs for XRP, which could significantly influence the market. The conversation also highlights how Apple's previous interest in crypto projects could enhance their market presence if they succeeded. Plus, a potential partnership between Amazon and Ripple is mentioned, creating a buzz and opening doors for broader adoption. Adding to the discussion, Ian and Troy reflect on how market suppression has shifted the spotlight to other cryptocurrencies over the years and whether XRP can reclaim its former glory. Finally, they touch upon Tesla's strategic positioning within the "Max 7" tech companies, exploring its complex interplay between politics and market power.

In this insightful clip, hosts Ian Dunlap, Rashad Bilal, and Troy Millings dive into the world of recession-proof stocks and market strategies. Discover their expert recommendations for maintaining resilient investments during tough economic times. The conversation kicks off with Rashad Bilal highlighting Costco and Nvidia as standout choices for weathering a recession. Their strong business models and consistent performance make them ideal for safeguarding your portfolio. Troy Millings expands the list by suggesting TSMC, Amazon, Procter & Gamble, and Netflix, each offering stability and potential growth across diverse market conditions. A significant portion of the clip delves into Amazon's expansive market potential. Beyond its retail operations, Amazon is praised for its ventures into pharmaceuticals, highlighting the company's resilience and vast growth opportunities. The discussion points to Amazon's efforts in untapped international markets and its potential entry into new arenas like podcasts and streaming content. Netflix is another focus of the conversation, celebrated for its robust subscription-based model. Alongside Apple, it stands as one of the best in this business segment. With ongoing expansion in original content production and live events, Netflix continues to explore untapped global markets, setting the stage for significant future growth. Transitioning to a healthcare analysis, the team examines Oscar Health. As a key player in the Affordable Care Act markets, Oscar Health has seen its stock price drop significantly, making it a less favorable long-term investment. While there might be short-term trading opportunities if bought at a low price, Oscar Health is ultimately seen as unreliable for long-term portfolios when compared to tech-health giants like Amazon, Apple, and Novo. Political context is also woven into the discussion, with observations on how political administration changes impact healthcare markets. The hosts touch upon an unnamed president's high approval ratings and how their decisions influence market dynamics. This clip provides a critical lens on Oscar Health’s struggles. With humor, the hosts dismiss its long-term investment potential, comparing its low net income unfavorably to high-earning individuals, emphasizing the importance of careful investment choices.

In this insightful clip from our latest discussion, investment experts Rashad Bilal, Ian Dunlap, and Troy Millings dive into their preferred stock choices and market strategies. Ian Dunlap shares his top picks, spotlighting Meta and Tesla as promising investments outside of the tech giants, Apple and Microsoft. He recommends a smart buying strategy with an ideal purchase price of $538.46 for Meta and $190.29 for Tesla.

He emphasizes Nvidia's pivotal role in technological advancements and industry events that could bolster its market performance.

In this fascinating clip, Troy Millings and Rashad Bilal dive deep into the world of real estate investment with a unique focus on opportunities outside the typical urban hotspots. Instead of eyeing properties in major cities like New York, Miami, or Los Angeles, they highlight the potential of investing in less prominent areas, especially in the Midwest and even trailer parks. Rashad Bilal sheds light on the real estate market's struggles in lower-income areas. He compares this to missing early opportunities with tech giants, emphasizing the importance of choosing the right markets and clients for investment. Meanwhile, Troy Millings discusses how their strategy diverges from the norm, leading to a diversified portfolio not tied to prime cities. The conversation also touches on the strategic moves by industry titans like Berkshire Hathaway, which might be looking to sell its real estate business. Could this indicate a potential downturn in the real estate market? Factors like succession planning for Warren Buffett and strategic business moves are at play here. Despite challenges, Berkshire Hathaway remains buoyed by solid financial reserves, hinting at both caution and opportunity. They address economic hurdles such as the softened housing market, high mortgage rates, elevated home prices, and slowing home sales. However, these conditions might actually favor landlords, as more individuals are driven towards renting. This trend is especially interesting considering rental prices, particularly in places like Manhattan, which have reached record highs. The clip also explores Warren Buffett's strategic timing in market exits, raising intrigue about whether capitalizing on current real estate trends could yield lucrative returns. With Berkshire’s real estate brokerage facing declining profitability recently, the potential for a sale becomes even more poignant. Join us in this insightful conversation where understanding market dynamics and strategic foresight can redefine the perception of real estate investments.

In this captivating clip from Market Mondays, Rashad Bilal, Troy Millings, and Ian Dunlap dive into the intriguing strategy of MicroStrategy and its bitcoin investments. They discuss whether MicroStrategy’s colossal bitcoin holdings could position it as one of the most valuable companies globally or if it's just another fly-by-night entity in the ever-evolving world of cryptocurrency. Ian Dunlap makes an interesting comparison, dubbing Michael Saylor as the new Cathy Woods. He examines the genius behind Saylor’s hyper-focused strategy of solely investing in bitcoin and warns of the potential risks where competitive forces, or even the government, might disrupt this strategy. The trio also explores the nuances of Saylor’s strategy, questioning why MicroStrategy’s stock keeps falling despite holding a significant amount of what many consider the world's most valuable asset. Rashad points out that since MicroStrategy is intricately linked with bitcoin, the decline in bitcoin's value directly impacts the company’s stock sentiment. Meanwhile, Troy provides insights into how the company continually acquires more bitcoin, even amidst falling stock prices, by issuing shares and borrowing money – a strategy potentially on shaky ground if this trend persists. The hosts further delve into the inherent volatility of bitcoin compared to MicroStrategy’s stock, illustrating how swings in bitcoin’s value consume the company’s strategy. As they navigate through cyclical trends of bitcoin, Rashad, Troy, and Ian discuss the possible long-term implications if bitcoin does skyrocket to unprecedented heights, potentially positioning MicroStrategy, an avid bitcoin holder, at the pinnacle of financial power. Amidst this dynamic discussion, Rashad and Troy dissect who holds the most bitcoin globally. They find that while MicroStrategy ranks highly, it isn’t at the top due to competitors like Binance and Grayscale. However, they argue that MicroStrategy’s singular focus on holding bitcoin sets it apart from other brokerage firms operating within the crypto space. As the trio unpacks the complexities of investing in bitcoin and the future prospects for MicroStrategy, they revisit a hopeful prediction where bitcoin could soar to $5 million. Could Michael Saylor's audacious strategy pay off in the long run, or will it fall short? Join Rashad, Troy, and Ian in this engaging conversation about the ever-evolving world of cryptocurrency and the tumultuous journey of bitcoin.

In this clip of Market Mondays, the co-hosts Troy Millings, Rashad Bilal, and Ian Dunlap examine Google's recent performance and its position among the world's leading tech companies. With Google experiencing its worst month in nearly three years, dropping 16 percent in February, questions have arisen about its continued inclusion in the prestigious Mag 7 group, composed of Google, Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Meta, Nvidia, and Tesla. The clip delves into the reasons behind Google's poor performance, including its struggle to compete with other tech giants in innovation, such as Microsoft's recent advances in quantum computing. Despite Google's past dominance in search and its ownership of YouTube, the co-hosts express concerns over its declining brand dominance and lack of significant product innovation in the last decade. Troy Millings voices a bold opinion, suggesting that Google be removed from the Mag 7 due to missed opportunities and its inability to keep up with rival companies like Microsoft, Apple, and Meta. He questions Google's placement in the group, suggesting that it might not be "magnificent" anymore. The discussion shifts to Google's challenges, such as talent retention and a potential leadership issue that has hindered its ability to innovate and release new hit products. The co-hosts lament the fact that Open AI is eroding Google's main business, and even though Gemini is a good product, they remain cautious about its future returns. Rashad Bilal defends Google's potential, highlighting the quality of its products and acknowledging its significant investments in AI, while still questioning the effectiveness of these efforts. He emphasizes the importance of talent retention and the engineering capabilities Google had in the past, leading to innovations that are still used globally today. The clip provides an in-depth analysis of how Google stacks up against its competitors, arguing that while Google is still a significant company, other tech giants have managed to outperform it in recent years. The co-hosts engage in a thought-provoking conversation about which companies should be included in the elite core of the tech world, with suggestions to potentially restructure the Max 7 or even reduce it to a "Core Four," if necessary.

In this clip from Market Mondays, hosts Ian Dunlap, Troy Millings, and Rashad Bilal dive into Elon Musk's ambitious prediction about Tesla's potential for explosive growth. Elon Musk recently retweeted a projection that suggested Tesla could achieve a staggering 258% growth over the next five years. Taking it a step further, Musk stated that with "outstanding execution," Tesla could even reach a 1000% return on investment in the same timeframe. But is this a realistic goal or just wishful thinking? Join our hosts as they engage in a lively discussion about the feasibility of Musk's prediction. Ian Dunlap shares his insights on why such outstanding execution might not be possible, citing Elon's lack of focus and the instability that comes with high-profile political connections. He argues for silent CEOs who focus on execution rather than staying in the media limelight. Troy Millings provides a detailed breakdown of what a 1000% increase in Tesla's stock price would look like, emphasizing that a growth rate that high would catapult the company's valuation to unprecedented levels. He discusses the potential impact of Tesla's innovation in autonomous vehicles and the implications for the automotive and technology sectors. However, Troy remains skeptical about whether these advancements alone can drive Tesla's stock to such heights. Rashad Bilal weighs in on Elon Musk's charismatic appeal and marketing prowess. He questions the catalysts that would justify a 1000% increase in Tesla's valuation, considering the current market dynamics and competition. Rashad speculates on whether Tesla can maintain its momentum and what role other companies under Musk's domain, like SpaceX and Neuralink, might play. The hosts collectively explore the broader implications of Tesla's potential growth, examining the future of the electric vehicle space and the factors that could influence Tesla's trajectory. They discuss the importance of Tesla's innovations, such as autonomous taxis and solar energy solutions, in shaping the company's future and its competitive edge in the market. Throughout the clip, the hosts raise critical questions: Is Tesla needed in this era of evolving technologies? Can the company continue its upward trajectory without significant breakthroughs or market shifts? These questions invite viewers to consider the complexities and challenges Tesla faces in a rapidly changing industry. Don't miss this engaging discussion as Market Mondays dissects Elon Musk's bold claims and delves into the future of Tesla and the technology sector.

In this engaging clip from Market Mondays, hosts Rashad Bilal and Troy Millings, along with guest Ian Dunlap, delve into the recent announcement by Donald Trump regarding the US Strategic Crypto Reserve. Highlighted cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, Solana, and Cardano experienced significant gains following this news, with Rashad noting XRP's impressive 33% rise and Cardano's 60% surge. However, the trio quickly points out the subsequent pullback in prices, emphasizing the unpredictable nature of crypto markets. Rashad educates viewers on the intricacies of crypto's relationship with the broader economy, stating that while crypto prices fluctuate, they do not directly determine economic health. Despite recent gains, these cryptocurrencies remain below their all-time highs. Rashad reiterates his belief in Bitcoin's long-term resilience, drawing comparisons between Bitcoin and the stock market's upward trajectory over time.

Welcome back to Market Mondays! In this clip, our hosts Rashad Bilal, Ian Dunlap, and Troy Millings dive deep into a critical topic—America's ongoing war on drugs, with a focus on the rising fentanyl crisis and its international implications. *Segment Overview:* *The Ineffectiveness of the War on Drugs* Rashad Bilal kicks off the conversation by addressing why the war on drugs has never worked and highlights America's insatiable appetite for drugs. He draws comparisons between the drug problem in the U.S. and countries with strong moral standards like Japan and Singapore, arguing that America's normalized drug culture fuels its own crisis. *The China Connection* As the discussion unfolds, Troy and Ian point out a significant factor exacerbating the problem: the role of China. Fentanyl, a deadly synthetic opioid, is being manufactured in China and smuggled through Mexico. Ian goes one step further to connect the dots between fentanyl, COVID-19, and potential economic warfare. *China's Strategic Moves* Troy and Ian elaborate on China's strategic investments in critical infrastructures like the Port of Manzanillo, potentially enabling the smuggling of fentanyl into the U.S. Rashad mentions the tariffs imposed on China as part of an attempt to curb this flow, but remains skeptical about its effectiveness. *Societal and Political Insight* The discussion isn't just about drugs and economics. Rashad provides a nuanced take on the fundamental differences in societal constructs between America and China, emphasizing China's self-sufficiency and unified national spirit. Conversely, America faces internal degradation, with its social fabric damaged by an overreliance on external sources for technology and goods. *Social Media and National Security* Our hosts discuss the role of social media apps like TikTok, contrasting its influence on American society with the restrictions placed on such apps in China. Ian and Rashad argue that the Chinese version of TikTok serves an entirely different purpose, possibly contributing to the "dumbing down" of American society to erode its competitive edge. *Accountability and Political Landscape* Finally, the hosts tackle the political accountability for America’s current state, pointing fingers at politicians from the 1960s, ’70s, and ’80s who may have sold the country short. This segment wraps up with a reflection on how deeply the U.S. has been infiltrated economically and socially, urging viewers to stay informed and accountable. *Don't Miss Out!* Subscribe to Market Mondays for more insightful discussions that address the intersections of economics, society, and policy.

Welcome to another insightful clip from Market Mondays! In this clip, our hosts Rashad Bilal, Troy Millings, and investor Ian Dunlap dive into an essential topic for all investors: the best stocks under $100 worth buying. Whether you're a seasoned investor or just starting, this discussion offers valuable insights into making informed investments. *Time Stamps:* 00:00 - Are there any stocks under a hundred dollars worth buying? 00:04 - Ian Dunlap's take on Nvidia and AMD 01:15 - Troy Millings' picks: Micron and Dell 02:07 - Best practices for portfolio management 03:12 - Importance of using an LLC for trading accounts 04:14 - Avoiding overextension in multiple stocks *Key Highlights:* **Nvidia (NVDA)**: Ian Dunlap emphasizes that Nvidia remains a compelling pick even after its stock split, noting that it's a promising long-term investment. He suggests that investors should consider buying Nvidia stocks, especially if they dip under $100. With Nvidia's current growth trajectory, it could reach $350 in a few years. **Advanced Micro Devices (AMD)**: Ian and Troy have a spirited debate on AMD, but they both agree it is a worthwhile investment. Like Nvidia, AMD is projected to perform well in the long-term, especially as the tech landscape continues to evolve. **Micron Technology (MU)**: Troy Millings highlights Micron's vital role in data storage, particularly in connection with GPUs and AI applications. With Micron priced around $90, it stands as a strategic investment for those interested in tech stocks. **Dell Technologies (DELL)**: Known for its reliability and adaptation to the AI revolution, Dell is another stock Troy recommends. Sitting at $100, Dell offers long-term growth potential, especially in data center infrastructure. **Best Practices for Trading**: Rashad and Ian stress the importance of not risking more than 10% of your portfolio on trades to avoid irrational decision-making. For instance, if you have $100,000 to invest, only $10,000 should be used for trading to maintain a balanced portfolio. **Use an LLC for Trading Accounts**: The hosts suggest setting up an LLC for your trading activities. This provides protection against lawsuits and helps manage risks better if you're handling significant amounts of money in brokerage accounts. **Consolidate Investments**: Rashad finishes by advising against spreading investments too thin across multiple stocks. Holding too many positions can dilute your returns and make it challenging to see meaningful gains. This clip offers not only stock picks but also valuable advice on managing your portfolio and protecting your investments. Whether you're interested in Nvidia, AMD, Micron, or Dell, the goal is to make smart, informed decisions and hold these stocks with a long-term vision. *Don't forget to like, subscribe, and hit the notification bell to stay updated with the latest market insights and investment strategies from Market Mondays!* *Hashtags:* #MarketMondays #StockMarket #Investing #Nvidia #AMD #Micron #Dell #StockTips #FinancialAdvice #LongTermInvesting #AssetProtection #InvestmentStrategy --- Stay tuned, as we bring you more clips filled with invaluable insights to help you navigate the financial markets and achieve your investment goals.

In this episode of Market Mondays, we tackled some of the most critical developments in the investment world. We began by exploring the launch of the Trump ETF, analyzing which powerhouse companies could dominate its portfolio and whether politically influenced funds should have a place in the market. The rise of Chinese AI giant DeepSeek, which has surpassed OpenAI’s ChatGPT on Apple’s platforms, was another hot topic as we examined its potential to dethrone OpenAI as the leader in artificial intelligence. We also discussed Mark Zuckerberg’s massive $60 billion commitment to Meta and what this means for investors and the future of the company.

What do his actions and words signify in today's polarized tech landscape? *Tim Cook's Stand on DEI Programs:* Unlike his Fortune 10 counterparts, Tim Cook remains steadfast in supporting DEI initiatives. Ian and Rashad ponder why Cook hasn't followed the trend of dropping these programs and discuss Apple's unique positioning in the tech industry. They question whether there is a calculated reason behind Cook’s stance and how it aligns with Apple's market strategy. *The Larger Implications:* The hosts explore the underlying political and societal currents influencing these tech giants' decisions. As they delve into the “red shift” towards conservative values and traditional masculinity, they debate how these shifts impact not just corporate strategies but also societal norms and expectations. *Comparative Analysis:* With Meta facing direct competition from TikTok, Ian and Rashad discuss how Zuckerberg’s maneuvers might be influenced by a survival instinct. In contrast, Apple's dominance in hardware and its unique ecosystem place Tim Cook in a different strategic position, one where he can afford to uphold DEI values without immediate threat to the company’s core business. Join Rashad and Ian as they dissect these layered topics, providing nuanced insights into the intersection of technology, politics, culture, and corporate strategy.

In this clip of Market Mondays, Rashad Bilal, Ian Dunlap, and Troy Millings delve into some fascinating and controversial geopolitical topics. The hosts kick things off with an intriguing examination of former President Donald Trump's interest in strategic territories like the Panama Canal and Greenland. Rashad provides a history lesson, detailing how the U.S. came to control the Panama Canal, underscoring the canal’s critical role in global trade. The conversation highlights the historical importance of waterways and how controlling them has always been paramount for the world's most powerful nations. Rashad emphasizes that Trump’s seemingly outlandish statements about taking over Greenland and Panama aren't random; they are rooted in strategic objectives centered on waterway control. The discussion moves to global warming and the emergence of new trade routes due to melting ice caps, revealing how these changes will influence future geopolitical maneuvers. Other key issues covered include the importance of controlling trade routes and how this correlates with saving costs on transportation via expedited routes. Troy adds to the dialogue by explaining how controlling these waterways can significantly benefit trade and the global economy, which is why countries like Russia, Canada, and China, apart from the U.S., are eyeing these regions. The conversation isn't just about land grabs; it's an economic and strategic game that has been played for centuries. Ian underlines how the U.S. has the highest levels of pollution among major countries, noting the genetic defects and cancer rates resulting from it. He discusses how having access to cleaner land and water could be especially beneficial for the nation's elite. The hosts also speculate on Trump's aggressive foreign policy proposals, debating which of these might actually materialize. Ian suggests that Greenland might be the most likely to see some form of deal due to its political openness to such conversations, while military action against Panama seems less feasible. The episode doesn’t shy away from discussing the racial and geopolitical implications of these moves. Rashad and the team point out the disparities in how Trump talks about Greenland versus Panama, hinting at deeper socio-political undertones. As the conversation progresses, they discuss how historical empires, including the U.S., Great Britain, and France, have grown through imperialism and territorial takeovers. They underline that America's territorial ambitions are often overlooked in discussions about global imperialism. Rashad recounts America's annexation of Hawaii, Alaska, and other territories, illustrating how these actions have shaped modern geopolitics. The show wraps up with thoughts on current events like wildfires in California and the role of prisoners in combating these blazes. This segues into the broader topic of America's "underbelly" – the undisclosed systems and structures that keep the country running, which are not publicly traded but wield immense influence. Join Rashad, Ian, and Troy on this thought-provoking episode as they dissect Trump’s plans, the history of imperialism, and how global warming is redrawing the map of geopolitical strategies. Don’t miss out on this insightful discussion that blends history, economics, and politics to provide a comprehensive understanding of current events and future possibilities. *Hashtags:* #MarketMondays #Geopolitics #Trump #PanamaCanal #Greenland #GlobalWarming #Waterways #Imperialism #EconomicStrategies #GlobalTrade #History #CurrentEvents Tune in and subscribe to Market Mondays for more deep dives into the ever-evolving world of geopolitics and economics!

Welcome back to another thrilling clip of Market Mondays! In this clip, we dive deep into the tech industry's latest explosive commentary as Mark Zuckerberg delivers some bold critiques about Apple. 🌐🚀 We start off with Ian Dunlap's intriguing question about former President Donald Trump suggesting Zuckerberg go on Joe Rogan's podcast to criticize Apple. What's behind this odd advice, and how might it play out in the tech landscape? Troy Millings and Rashad Bilal then bring us an exclusive clip featuring Zuckerberg's candid opinions about Apple's current state, innovation, and market strategies. According to Zuckerberg, Apple hasn't brought anything revolutionary to the table since the iPhone, launched by Steve Jobs over two decades ago. He points out that Apple's iPhone sales have plateaued and attributes their revenue growth to increased peripheral sales and the infamous 30% tax on developers. Rashad Bilal expands on these comments, noting the ongoing debate about Apple's innovation—or lack thereof—and its implications for Apple's stock. Troy Millings highlights a key aspect: Apple's dominance in the market despite what Zuckerberg claims. He emphasizes that although Apple might be struggling with innovation, their brand has an "ironclad" reputation. Ian Dunlap backs this up with some historical context, elaborating on the long-standing "tech war" between these companies. The clip reveals the complex dynamics between hardware and software in the tech sphere. Meta, formerly Facebook, has been making strides with its Oculus products but still faces stiff competition from Apple's entrenched ecosystem. While Apple has been successful with the iPhone and its peripherals, they haven't been pushing the envelope as much as some in the industry would like. Ian and Troy dive into the significance of innovation, the potential for new technologies like AI, and how these factors could affect the future performance of both Apple and Meta stocks. Wrapping things up, the hosts explore what this means for Apple's future, revealing that Tim Cook might have to consider stepping down if Apple fails to innovate in the coming years. Ian even predicts that by 2034, Cook could be out of his leadership role if Apple doesn't begin to lead in innovation once again. Troy's closing thoughts bring attention to market dynamics, emphasizing that while Apple remains a market leader, their complacency could hurt their bottom line. This clip is packed with insights, laughs, and some heavy-hitting predictions about the future of tech giants. Whether you're an avid Apple user, a pro-Meta enthusiast, or just someone interested in the ever-evolving tech landscape, this clip offers a thorough breakdown of what's currently shaking up Silicon Valley.

In this episode of Market Mondays, we explore Meta’s controversial decision to end Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs, sparking debates about free speech and a perceived alignment with MAGA principles.

In this clip, our host Rashad Bilal sits down with seasoned market expert Josh Brown to dive deep into one of the hottest topics in the finance world today—chip stocks. As we step into 2025, the buzz around AI and semiconductor stocks like AMD, Nvidia, and ASML has not only continued but has also seen a remarkable surge in market interest. Are we really witnessing a chip bubble, or is this optimism well-founded? Josh Brown shares his valuable insights on the dynamics affecting these colossal market players. His analysis covers a range of critical points: 1. **Market Dominance**: Chip stocks now represent some of the largest publicly traded companies by market cap. This means that whether you're invested in mutual funds, ETFs, or have any growth or tech weightings, you inevitably have exposure to these stocks. 2. **AI and Market Volatility**: A lot of people believe in the long-term potential of AI, but that doesn't guarantee a continuous rise in share prices for companies at the forefront of AI technology. Josh highlights the rollercoaster nature of these stocks, reminding us of the 24% decline Nvidia faced just last year. 3. **Nvidia - The Crown Jewel**: Nvidia is frequently regarded as the leader in this space. Despite its past fluctuations, it has shown a full-year return of 178%, an incredible feat for a multi-trillion dollar company. Josh, a bullish investor since 2015, elaborates on the highs and lows he's experienced with Nvidia. 4. **The Earnings Expectations Game**: Josh warns of a possible landmine—earnings reports. Nvidia's upcoming earnings report in late February is crucial. Wall Street's expectations can make or break the stock, even if the company's fundamentals remain solid. A 40-50% earnings growth might seem impressive, but if the street expects 50-60%, it could lead to significant sell-offs. 5. **Understanding Sentiment**: Unlike betting on sports where odds are clear, market sentiment is often a guessing game. Even with rough earnings estimates from analysts, there's an element of unpredictability that investors must consider. Don't miss Josh Brown's expert take on what the coming months might bring for chip stocks and what you should be paying attention to. Whether you're a seasoned investor or just getting started, this clip provides valuable insights that can help you navigate the complexities of the tech market.

Welcome back to another insightful clip of Market Mondays! In this MM clip, our hosts Troy Millings, Rashad Bilal, and Ian Dunlap dive deep into a crucial topic: how to prepare for the next recession. Whether you're an experienced investor or a financial newbie, this video is packed with valuable advice designed to help you navigate turbulent economic times effectively. *Key Takeaways:* 1. *Identify Future Market Leaders:* Ian Dunlap emphasizes the importance of marking off companies that you believe will have a tremendous impact post-recession. By keeping an eye on leaders in innovative technologies and sectors, you can position yourself to capitalize on future growth opportunities. While Ian mentions that he doesn’t think IonQ will lead the quantum race despite its strong returns, the principle remains the same. Set your buy-in levels for these companies in advance. 2. *Minimize and Manage Debt:* One of the most critical strategies Ian advises is to find a way to eliminate debt from both your personal and business life as quickly as possible. Being debt-free positions you to take advantage of investment opportunities without the burden of financial liabilities. Additionally, if you can secure low-interest loans, use them strategically to invest in high-yield assets. Ian reflects on how his biggest mistake was not borrowing $15 million at 1% interest back in 2020 to invest in stocks, land, and other ventures. 3. *Hoard Assets and Maintain Reserves:* Both Ian and Troy agree on the importance of having reserves. Economic downturns often present the best times to invest, as asset prices can drop significantly. Whether it's Bitcoin, ETFs, stocks, or indexes, having the capital ready to deploy is key. The hosts draw parallels from previous financial crises, emphasizing that being prepared can turn market downturns into lucrative opportunities. *When Will the Next Recession Hit?* The million-dollar question: when will the next recession occur? Rashad, Troy, and Ian discuss potential timelines, pointing to 2025-2027 based on historical patterns and economic indicators. Ian speculates that by March 2027, a full recession might be announced, factoring in debt-to-GDP ratios and ongoing issues like those in Chicago. The hosts also delve into how the stock market's current state and the dominance of tech giants like Nvidia, Apple, and Bitcoin are affecting market stability. *The Impact of Crypto and Small Cap Stocks:* Crypto's emergence has shifted investment strategies significantly. According to Ian, the extraordinary gains traditionally reserved for small-cap stocks and emerging markets are now expected from cryptocurrencies. This shift has made the investment landscape more competitive and unpredictable. Inflation and lofty expectations of 50% gains annually are pushing everyone, including hedge funds, to re-evaluate their strategies. Stay tuned as our panel of experts discusses these topics and more, providing you with the knowledge and tools to safeguard your financial future.

Welcome to another insightful clip of Market Mondays, where hosts Rashad Bilal, Troy Millings, and Ian Dunlap dive deep into the most pressing topics in the financial world. In this clip, we tackle a growing trend that has taken the corporate world by storm - the unprecedented number of CEOs stepping down in 2024. This surge in CEO departures, which started gaining momentum back in 2010, has reached record-breaking levels this year, with an 8.6% increase from previous years. Major corporations like Boeing, Nike, and Starbucks are all experiencing these shifts at their executive tables. But what could this mean for the future of these companies and the economy as a whole? Rashad Bilal kicks off the conversation by highlighting the striking numbers and the companies involved, noting that the trend signifies something deeper about corporate performance and leadership in today's fast-paced business environment. The Nike CEO's firing, among others, is highlighted as a critical indicator of this broader phenomenon. Troy Millings suggests the role of performance in these departures, pointing out the significant drop in performance for some global brands compared to their historical success. He also touches on how shareholders' influence and demands for better leadership are contributing to these changes. The Starbucks example provides a clear illustration of how shareholder votes can precipitate such shifts at the top level. Ian Dunlap brings another layer of understanding to this discussion by examining how the evolving demands on CEOs mirror those of hedge fund managers who must consistently deliver high returns. He argues that many CEOs may not be adequately equipped to navigate the current landscape, which requires them to remain closely attuned to their company's culture and customer base. The recent impacts of AI advancements and the lessons from 2020 have further exacerbated these challenges. Troy wraps up by identifying these CEO departures as possible recession signals. The wave of golden parachutes is often an indicator of broader economic distress. By tying performance and shareholder pressures together, the hosts provide a comprehensive analysis that not only looks at the micro-level impacts on individual companies but also the macroeconomic implications.

Broadcom's remarkable 25% surge last Friday and an additional 10% increase today have everyone talking, and we're here to break down what this means for the market and why Broadcom is leading the charge. Our hosts revisit discussions from previous episodes, especially noting Troy's insights from September when Broadcom's third-quarter earnings were approaching. At the time, the company was positioning itself as a critical player in the AI infrastructure space, alongside giants like Nvidia and TSM. Troy highlights the enormous $87 billion revenue quarter Broadcom reported, coupled with their confidence in sustained growth through 2027. This long-term focus and staggering earnings performance have made Broadcom a stock to watch. Ian brings attention to Broadcom's quiet yet effective leadership and their strategic partnerships, notably with Apple.

In this insightful clip of EYL, our host Troy Millings sits down with Caleb Silver to delve into the essential topic of cryptocurrency wallets and the critical differences between hot and cold wallets. If you've ever found yourself scratching your head over how to securely store your Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, this is the episode for you. Caleb kicks off the discussion by explaining the fundamental necessity of owning a wallet for any cryptocurrency transaction. Unlike traditional money that you can physically hold, cryptocurrencies exist solely in digital form. A 'wallet' in the digital world is indispensable for trading, buying, selling, gifting, or accepting cryptocurrency. Caleb categorizes these wallets into two types: hot wallets and cold wallets. *Hot Wallets vs. Cold Wallets:* Hot Wallets: These are online wallets that reside on an internet-connected platform like Coinbase, Crypto.com, or Kraken. While they offer the convenience of quick access and easy transactions, Caleb points out that they are less secure due to their susceptibility to hacking.Cold Wallets: Often resembling a thumb drive, cold wallets serve as offline storage solutions. By being disconnected from the internet, they provide a more secure way of storing digital assets. However, the responsibility for safeguarding the wallet and its passcode lies entirely with the owner. Troy underscores the importance of purchasing cold wallets directly from the manufacturer, such as Ledger or Trezor, to avoid security risks. Anecdotes of people losing substantial amounts of money due to misplaced or mishandled cold wallets serve as cautionary tales. Both Troy and Caleb emphasize securing the seed phrase—usually a 20-24 word sequence—that's vital for accessing your cold wallet. Lose it, and your assets are irretrievable. *Regulation Concerns:* Caleb also touches on the lack of regulation in the cryptocurrency market. Unlike traditional financial systems, there is no Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) oversight, no Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insurance, and no Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC) protection. This means if issues arise like hacking or fraud, users have limited recourse for recoveries. *Security First:* Recounting personal experiences, the speakers paint a realistic picture of the dangers involved—people losing access to their funds due to typographical errors in wallet addresses, or even encountering phishing attempts and hacking. These stories highlight the necessity of taking security seriously when dealing with digital assets. In summary, this episode is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in the world of cryptocurrency but uncertain about how to start or how to safeguard their digital investments. Whether you choose to use a hot wallet for its convenience or a cold wallet for its added security, understanding these tools and the risks associated with them can go a long way in ensuring your investments are protected. *Join the Discussion:* Share your thoughts and experiences with cryptocurrency wallets in the comments below. Have you ever faced security issues? How do you store your digital assets safely? Let's learn from each other and make the crypto space safer for everyone. --- Don't forget to subscribe to EYL and hit the notification bell so you never miss an episode! *Hashtags:* #EYL #Cryptocurrency #HotWallet #ColdWallet #Bitcoin #CryptoSecurity #DigitalAssets #Coinbase #LedgerWallet #CryptoRegulation --- Watch more from EYL and join us as we continue to explore the fascinating world of finance, investment, and beyond!

Welcome back to another clip of Market Mondays! In this insightful discussion, our host Troy Millings sits down with the brilliant Chris Johnson to unravel the complexities of the cryptocurrency world. This episode dives deep into Chris Johnson’s perspective on altcoins, trust issues in the crypto market, and the need for security in handling digital assets. *🗣 Topics Covered:* *1. **Altcoins and Their Creation:* Chris Johnson elaborates on why he’s skeptical about altcoins. He explains the fundamental unfairness he perceives in the creation of both traditional currency by the Federal Reserve and altcoins by various groups. According to Chris, both systems involve creating something out of thin air and asking people to trade their hard-earned money for these assets, leading to dilution of value. *2. **Trust Issues in Cryptocurrency:* Chris draws parallels between the trust required in traditional and digital financial systems. He raises concerns about having to trust the entities that create and promote altcoins, as many might just be exploiting people's desire to get rich quickly. *3. **The Long Route vs. The Quick Route:* Chris highlights the difference between the traditional business model and the altcoin creation process. While companies like Apple have to sell products and services to generate revenue, altcoin creators can quickly amass wealth by issuing tokens and promoting them without providing real value in return. *4. **Security in the Crypto Space:* Troy transitions the conversation towards the security aspects of cryptocurrencies, especially in light of recent events like the FTX collapse. Chris emphasizes the importance of self-custody in securing one’s bitcoin and other digital assets. He suggests using cold wallets and multi-signature vaults to keep assets safe from potential hacks and dishonest entities. *5. **Self-Custody:* Chris goes into detail about the significance of self-custody and being in charge of one’s wealth. He makes a compelling case for why storing your digital assets on platforms like Coinbase, Kraken, or even Robinhood might not be the best idea due to the inherent trust required. Join us in this episode as Chris Johnson provides a nuanced understanding of why he avoids investing in altcoins and the steps he takes to ensure the security of his crypto investments. *🔍 Key Takeaways:* The potential risks and questionable practices associated with altcoins.Chris Johnson’s viewpoint on the essential trust issues in the cryptocurrency space.The differences between the traditional business growth model and the fast-tracked liquidity of cryptocurrencies.How to secure your digital assets via self-custody and why it's crucial.The importance of a trustless system for safeguarding your investments. **🎥 Watch the full episode to gain deeper insights into these critical aspects of the cryptocurrency world!

Welcome back to another insightful clip of Market Mondays! In this clip, hosts Troy Millings and Rashad Bilal are joined by Ian Dunlap to dive deep into the topic of diversification and reveal the secrets to building true wealth. 📊 Discover why hyperfocus can be a game-changer for your financial growth. 📈 Ian Dunlap breaks down how legends like Mark Zuckerberg and Warren Buffett became ultra-successful by concentrating on one thing. 🤑 Learn the key principles behind focusing your investments and the potential pitfalls of over-diversification. 🌐 How many investments are too many? We explore the optimal number and why simplicity could be your best strategy. Ian Dunlap starts the conversation by stressing the importance of hyperfocus, highlighting how most successful individuals and companies made their money by concentrating on a single thing. He points out that whether it's Mark Zuckerberg with Facebook or employees at Nvidia with Nvidia stock, the essence of wealth creation lies in focusing on and doubling down on one primary asset. Rashad Bilal emphasizes that diversification is often a strategy for those who don't know what they're doing. He cites Warren Buffett's stance on the matter and explains how historic titans of business, like Rockefeller and Carnegie, thrived through hyper-concentration. From the success of heavily investing in Apple stock to Ian Dunlap's own experience with Red Panda, it's clear that focus pays dividends. Troy Millings introduces a nuanced perspective by talking about the 'right' diversification. While it's unwise to overextend across too many ventures, focusing on a handful of solid investments can prove beneficial. Referring to Warren Buffett again, he explains that even Buffett diversified, but within a limited, manageable scope, allowing for meticulous tracking and informed decisions. The hosts also delve into practical advice for managing investments. Rather than spreading yourself thin, focus on a core group of assets. Too many investments can lead to confusion and mismanagement. Rashad Bilal explains that sticking to a manageable number, ideally between four to six, or at most up to 10, is the sweet spot for effectively managing your portfolio. He also shares his own strategy of focusing on tech and two indexes, reinforcing the idea that even within diversification, there's a focus. This video is a must-watch for anyone looking to refine their investment strategy and achieve financial independence.

In this clip of Market Mondays, hosts Ian Dunlap, Troy Millings, and Rashad Bilal dive into the complex world of tariffs and their broader economic implications. With Trump’s proposed tariff plans at the forefront, the discussion takes a deep dive into what tariffs really mean and how they could impact the U.S. economy and its citizens. Ian Dunlap kicks things off by describing tariffs as an act of "economic terrorism," emphasizing that ultimately, the cost is transferred to consumers. With rising prices on goods and food during events like Thanksgiving, the trio explores how tariffs could exacerbate economic challenges amid already rising inflation and a softening job market. Troy Millings brings an interesting statistic into the conversation, noting that "What is a tariff?" was the most searched term on Google over Thanksgiving weekend. As they break down the basic concept of tariffs as a tax, the hosts discuss how tariffs can lead to retaliation from affected countries. They delve into the potential benefits and drawbacks, examining how domestic manufacturers might gain from reduced competition but warning against the long-term repercussions of a tariff war. Troy cites a Wall Street Journal article on how countries like Russia maneuvered around sanctions, speculating whether China would employ similar tactics in response to U.S. tariffs. Rashad Bilal paints a nuanced picture, acknowledging Trump’s business acumen. He suggests that Trump’s tariff threats may be more of a negotiating tool than a definitive policy action. The idea is to create leverage in negotiations with other countries, especially China, which has a record of various controversial practices, including human rights violations and intellectual property theft. The conversation also touches on the potential geopolitical impacts, particularly regarding China’s ambitions in Taiwan and the broader goal to make the yuan a global reserve currency. Rashad and Troy debate whether such tariffs will have the broad impacts that Trump claims, or if they’re more semantic than substantial. Later in the discussion, the hosts address concerns about bringing jobs back to America, concluding that this is unlikely to happen on a significant scale. Rashad highlights a poignant example from a 60 Minutes segment detailing how tech companies are outsourcing work to places like Kenya, where employees endure grueling conditions for meager wages. Finally, the conversation veers into America’s economic history, noting that outsourcing jobs to countries like India in the past has weakened the U.S. middle class and created long-term economic challenges. Ian argues that America's focus on cheap labor and failure to invest in its own workforce have contributed to the current economic instability. Join us for this in-depth discussion and learn more about how tariffs could shape the future economic landscape. 🔔 *Don't forget to subscribe and hit the notification bell so you never miss an episode of Market Mondays!* *Timestamps:* 0:00 - Introduction 0:07 - Tariffs and Economic Impact 1:05 - Thanksgiving and Public Perception 2:18 - Domestic Manufacturers and Global Strategies 4:27 - Trump's Tariff Negotiation Strategy 7:04 - The Chinese Economic Threat 9:03 - Job Outsourcing Crisis 9:44 - America's Economic Downfall #Tariffs #EconomicPolicy #Trump #China #FinancialEducation #MarketMondays #Inflation #TradeWars #GlobalEconomy #BusinessStrategy #JobMarket --- Stay informed and join the conversation about the most pressing economic issues with Market Mondays!

Welcome back to Market Mondays! In this clip, we dive deep into Meta's monumental $10 billion investment in undersea fiber optic cables. Join Rashad Bilal and Ian Dunlap as they analyze what this means for the future of Meta, global internet connectivity, and the ongoing tech wars, particularly between Meta and Starlink. Here's a breakdown of what you can expect: *Meta's $10 Billion Investment:* Meta (formerly Facebook) is taking a giant leap by pouring $10 billion into undersea fiber optic cables that will span the globe. This investment is not just about enhancing global internet speed; it's a strategic move in the race for AI and data dominance. *Tech War: Meta vs. Starlink:* Ian Dunlap draws attention to a less talked about but immensely important rivalry: Meta vs. Starlink. As Meta focuses on below-ground fiber optics, Starlink, led by Elon Musk's SpaceX, is committed to above-ground satellite internet. Both companies are vying to control the speed and flow of data, which is crucial for future AI applications. Ian believes this battle could generate hundreds of billions of dollars. *Focus on Africa and India:* Rashad Bilal highlights Meta's targeting of Africa and India for their fiber optic expansion. These regions are strategically chosen for their young populations, resources, and potential for cheap labor. Africa, with its vast resources and growing internet infrastructure, and India, with its massive population and rising middle class, represent untapped markets that could significantly contribute to Meta's data aggregation efforts. *Global Connectivity and Data Centers:* Rashad discusses how Meta's move aligns with other tech giants like Google, Amazon, and Microsoft, who are also investing heavily in submarine cables. The goal? To build data centers where infrastructure is cheaper and populations are eager. The data collected will not only enhance AI capabilities but could redefine global internet usage patterns. *The Economic Shift:* Ian and Rashad emphasize an important economic shift: America's tech growth is plateauing. By expanding into Africa and India, Meta and other tech giants are looking to capture new markets with younger, growing populations. This foresight could provide a significant competitive edge in the tech industry. *The Bigger Picture:* Finally, the duo connects the dots, illustrating how fiber optic cables are the backbone of future technological advancements. From increasing the speed of internet connections to supporting massive data centers, these investments are paving the way for a new era of connectivity and AI innovation. *Join The Discussion:* Do you think Meta's $10 billion investment will pay off in the long run?

It's only been a few weeks, but the data is compelling and offers valuable insights for investors both seasoned and new. First, we track the unprecedented gains in the crypto market post-election: Bitcoin surged by 30%, Ethereum by 37%, Solana by 34%, Dogecoin by 57%, XRP by 102%, and an astounding 435% rise for XLM. While these numbers are impressive, history has shown us that the crypto market is no stranger to dramatic fluctuations. On Market Mondays, we always emphasize that past performance doesn't necessarily predict future outcomes, but it can offer essential warnings and lessons. Rashad and Ian guide the audience through a detailed analysis of each coin's lifetime chart. For those who enjoy hands-on learning, they encourage viewers to pull up the charts and follow along. They highlight that while coins like XLM, XRP, Dogecoin, and Solana have shown similar volatile patterns without sustainable long-term growth, Bitcoin stands out. Despite its volatility, Bitcoin's chart has consistently hit new highs, showcasing a long-term upward trajectory, unlike other altcoins. With the favorites Ethereum and Solana attracting notable interest from big names like billionaire Mike Novogratz, and XRP's promising corporate relationships, there’s always potential. Yet, Rashad and Ian urge caution and a well-thought strategy before diving into altcoins. They stress the importance of understanding the fundamental difference between trading and investing, reminding viewers that not every altcoin promises billionaire-making potential despite momentary surges. Ian touches upon a crucial point about the role of institutional money. The purpose of crypto was initially to remain decentralized. However, many newer coins now seek institutional backing to boost their value, signaling a significant shift in the market’s dynamics. Ian reiterates the timeless investment lesson: the price you pay for an asset always matters. Buying at peaks based on trends without solid analysis can lead to significant losses, reinforcing their advice to avoid FOMO-driven decisions fueled by social media hype. Understanding Bitcoin’s movement is also pivotal as it often sets the stage for the entire crypto market. The cyclical nature of Bitcoin’s price, especially post-halving, demonstrates higher highs and higher lows, contrasting with altcoins that often fail to reclaim their previous peaks. This behavior suggests a more stable investment in Bitcoin compared to altcoins which can be immensely volatile. The discussion wraps up with a vital reminder: have a plan and understand the space before investing. Cryptocurrency remains a highly volatile sector, and uninformed investments can be very costly. Market Mondays aims to equip investors with valuable knowledge to navigate this unpredictable landscape judiciously. Whether you're a crypto newbie or a seasoned investor, this episode is packed with essential insights to keep you informed and cautious in the rapidly evolving world of cryptocurrencies. **Hashtags**: #Cryptocurrency #Bitcoin #Ethereum #Altcoins #CryptoMarket #Investing #FinancialLiteracy #MarketMondays #RashadBilal #IanDunlap --- Tune in and elevate your financial game with Market Mondays!

Welcome back to another insightful episode of Market Mondays! In this week's edition, our hosts Ian Dunlap, Rashad Bilal, and Troy Millings dive deep into the recent buzz surrounding XRP and its potential resurgence. Could XRP really be eyeing a massive breakout after years of stagnation and legal battles? Rashad kicks off the discussion by bringing up the intriguing news of Ripple's CEO engaging in discussions with former President Donald Trump. With whispers of a pro-crypto administration and possible favorable legal outcomes, XRP's price has seen a significant jump, nearly doubling in value. This sudden movement has reignited debates and speculations about XRP's future, with some enthusiasts claiming it could soar to $10 or even higher. Ian emphasizes a crucial investment principle: patience. He reminds listeners that truly believing in an asset means holding onto it for at least five years. Despite the temporary setbacks, those who stood by XRP during its consolidation phase are now seeing the fruits of their perseverance. Ian cautions against the urge to constantly chase the next big thing, highlighting the importance of sticking to quality assets with solid fundamentals. Rashad elaborates on the unique challenges XRP faces due to its substantial market cap and abundance of coins in circulation. Drawing a comparison to Bitcoin's limited supply, he explains why XRP's price dynamics differ dramatically from Bitcoin's. While it's tempting to equate the potential of a $1 XRP to a $90,000 Bitcoin, the reality of supply and demand economics shapes their distinct trajectories. Troy echoes Rashad's insights by delving into the concept of circulating supply. Using precise figures, he contrasts the 21 million maximum supply of Bitcoin with XRP's staggering 100 billion. This fundamental difference offers clarity on why XRP's pricing won't mirror Bitcoin's, despite their shared cryptocurrency classification. In a thought-provoking segment, Ian poses a question to the group: "What are the top four cryptocurrencies in their opinion?" Troy shares his admiration for Solana, influenced by the expertise of Mike Novogratz. Sometimes, listening to experienced voices in the field can provide invaluable guidance, as Troy explains. The hosts also address the sentiments of long-time XRP investors. Troy recounts his early days in 2017 when XRP's price spiked momentarily, leading to hopes and dreams of substantial gains. But the subsequent legal battles and market fluctuations served as stark reminders of the volatile nature of cryptocurrencies. Ian wraps up the discussion by reflecting on XRP's journey, noting how its legal entanglements have significantly impacted its perception in the market. The initial promise of a decentralized crypto world has met with various challenges, and XRP's story encapsulates many of these complexities. Don't miss this engaging episode that not only sheds light on the recent XRP developments but also offers timeless investment wisdom.

In this episode of "EYL," hosts Rashad Bilal, Troy Millings, and Ian Dunlap dive deep into the world of cryptocurrency, focusing on the recent developments surrounding XRP. Could XRP finally be poised for a significant breakout? Rashad kicks off the discussion by highlighting recent positive news about XRP. The Ripple CEO's conversation with former President Donald Trump and some potentially favorable legal decisions have driven XRP’s price up, hitting over $1 for the first time in a long while. This news has reignited excitement around XRP, with some claiming it could reach as high as $10. Ian Dunlap provides his seasoned insights into why XRP’s rise should be viewed with caution. He emphasizes the importance of a long-term investment strategy, advising that holding onto a quality asset for at least five years can yield substantial returns. Ian also sheds light on Ripple’s smart strategy of engaging with influential figures like Trump to gain favor in a pro-crypto administration —a move that can significantly impact XRP’s future prospects. Rashad delves into the unique challenges XRP faces, primarily focusing on its substantial market capitalization and high supply volume. He draws an analogy to the sneaker market, explaining how scarcity, like that of Bitcoin, often leads to higher prices. In contrast, the high availability of XRP coins makes it harder to justify predictions of XRP hitting $10 or beyond. Rashad also dismisses the misconception that XRP could follow in Bitcoin's footsteps to reach astronomical prices due to the sheer difference in supply. Troy emphasizes the importance of understanding the circulating supply of cryptocurrencies when making investment decisions. He points out that while Bitcoin's max supply is capped at 21 million, XRP’s max supply reaches 100 billion, with 57 billion already in circulation. This massive supply difference plays a vital role in price potential and should not be overlooked by investors. The conversation also touches on broader crypto investment strategies, with Troy noting the importance of taking advice from experts in the field. He shares his experience with Solana, ranking it as the third biggest crypto after Bitcoin and Ethereum, based on insights from seasoned investors like Mike Novogratz. While Rashad maintains a neutral stance on XRP, he believes that the cryptocurrency still has a long way to go in fulfilling its potential. He underscores the importance of being well-informed and cautious when investing in any asset, especially in the volatile world of crypto. Troy rounds off the discussion with a nostalgic look back at 2017, recalling the thrilling ride of investing in XRP at its peak. However, the subsequent ‘crypto winter’ provided a hard lesson in the unpredictability of the market. Ian adds that XRP’s legal issues have significantly stunted its growth, marking a pivotal moment where the dream of a completely decentralized cryptocurrency faced its harshest reality check. Join the EYL team as they provide valuable insights and balanced perspectives on XRP and the broader cryptocurrency market. Whether you’re a seasoned investor or just getting started, this episode offers crucial lessons on navigating the complex and often unpredictable world of digital assets.

In this Market Mondays clip, Rashad Bilal, Troy Millings, and Ian Dunlap dive deep into the latest buzz around Tesla and its extraordinary performance. Since the recent election, Tesla’s stock has surged by a remarkable 30%, an unprecedented growth that can largely be attributed to the influence of its charismatic CEO, Elon Musk. Elon Musk’s Unmatched Influence Rashad kicks off the discussion by highlighting Elon Musk’s unprecedented involvement with political figures, notably former President Trump. From playing golf to strategizing Cabinet positions at Mar-a-Lago, Musk isn’t just a business magnate—he’s also a significant political influencer. Troy notes how Musk's closeness to the Trump administration could lead to beneficial government contracts for Tesla, likening Musk’s role to the most powerful advisors in Game of Thrones. The Future of Tesla Stock: Predictions and Strategies Ian Dunlap weighs in on the future trajectory of Tesla’s stock, predicting it could soar to $520 within the next 16 months, despite potential pullbacks. He advises short sellers to avoid shorting Tesla stock, given the associated high risks and limited upside. As Musk aligns more closely with political figures, particularly through defense initiatives like Starlink, Tesla and his other ventures are poised for substantial growth. Defense AI and Government Contracts Troy shines a spotlight on new trends like "Defense AI," where companies like SpaceX and Palantir lead the charge. This sector's ascension emphasizes the broader scope of Musk's influence, beyond just electric cars. Rashad elaborates on Musk’s government contracts, citing that SpaceX and Tesla were awarded 300 contracts last year alone. As Musk’s relationships within the government strengthen, so does his leverage, making his companies prime beneficiaries of government spending. Political Influence and Economic Policy The hosts stress the intricate link between politics and stock market performance. Ian states that policies directly impact which sectors thrive, pointing out that deregulation would immensely benefit large companies like Tesla. This leads to more mergers and acquisitions, improved IPO activity in 2025, and overall growth in sectors where Musk has vested interests. Challenges and Opportunities for Investors Rashad, Troy, and Ian collectively emphasize the unparalleled opportunities for investors who understand the political landscape. By staying close to powerful political figures and navigating governmental regulations, Musk ensures Tesla remains at the cutting edge. The conversation closes with Ian highlighting the superior quality of Musk’s products like Starlink and SpaceX, setting them apart from competitors such as Comcast and Boeing.

In this insightful clip of Market Mondays, hosts Troy Millings, Ian Dunlap, and Rashad Bilal delve into the fascinating case of Novo Nordisk, the Danish pharmaceutical giant behind the revolutionary drug Ozempic. If you missed the 60 Minutes segment on Novo Nordisk, don't worry; we've got you covered with an in-depth analysis and discussion that explores the far-reaching implications of this game-changing drug. 📈 The Rise of Ozempic Novo Nordisk, known globally for its diabetes care products, hit a goldmine with Ozempic, a drug initially designed for diabetes treatment but later found to be an effective weight-loss solution. This dual utility has resulted in an astonishing stock surge, rocketing from $20 to $110 within a decade. The hosts reveal that it's not just a financial boon for the company but also a surprising savior for Denmark's economy. Novo Nordisk's market cap has now surpassed Denmark's GDP, making it a cornerstone of the small nation's financial stability. 🤔 What's Next for Novo Nordisk? However, can Novo Nordisk maintain its dominance? The hosts discuss parallels with Nokia's past—a Finnish giant that once controlled the mobile phone industry before being dethroned by Apple's iPhone. While Ian Dunlap points out that the healthcare industry doesn't move as quickly as tech, the threat of competition is real. The episode looks into potential rivals such as Eli Lilly and Pfizer and discusses Novo Nordisk’s need for continuous innovation to stay relevant. 🕵️‍♂️ Strategic Insights Ian Dunlap shares his investment insights, stressing the importance of investing in companies that move a country's GDP. He believes Novo Nordisk is in a strong position for the next two to three years but cautions that the landscape could change. Rashad Bilal adds that the company's innovative dual-utility of Ozempic provides a cushion against immediate threats but acknowledges the need for ongoing advancements to stay ahead. 🌐 Implications Beyond Denmark The show also considers broader economic implications, especially in the American context. With America's obesity problem fueling Ozempic's success, Rashad Bilal notes that changes in consumer behavior due to appetite-suppressing drugs could disrupt the fast food and related industries. If people begin to eat less and make healthier choices, companies like McDonald's, Dunkin' Donuts, and Starbucks could see a decline in profits. ⚠️ The Final Word The hosts agree that while Novo Nordisk’s current trajectory looks promising, investors should remain cautious. Troy Millings reminds everyone that being first doesn’t always mean lasting success, highlighting the importance of resources and innovation in maintaining market dominance. As Rashad Bilal notes, significant advancements like those from Neuralink could potentially change the consumer landscape in unexpected ways.

Welcome back to another insightful clip of Market Mondays! In this clip, our hosts Rashad Bilal and Ian Dunlap dive deep into the fascinating world of semiconductor technology and its critical importance in the AI industry. We kick things off with a thorough discussion about Nvidia, one of the most innovative and high-performing companies in the tech world. Over recent years, Nvidia has made significant strides in the development of GPUs (Graphics Processing Units) and AI technologies. With their groundbreaking advancements, they have established themselves as one of the leading companies shaping the future of technology. Rashad provides a comprehensive explanation of the intricate relationship between Nvidia, TSM (Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company), and ASML. TSM is the manufacturer behind Nvidia's cutting-edge chips, but they rely on ASML for the production of crucial lithography machines — specifically the EUV (Extreme Ultraviolet Lithography) machines. These machines are essential for creating wafers with 3 and 5 nanometer counts, which are vital for the efficiency and speed of GPUs. Ian further elaborates on the technical intricacies, highlighting the importance of these nanometer measurements and why companies like Nvidia opt for them to ensure superior performance. Together, Rashad and Ian explain how this tight-knit supply chain functions, emphasizing the necessity for all parties involved to be operating smoothly for the continued success of tech giants like Nvidia and AMD. Rashad also raises a critical point about the geopolitical aspects of semiconductor manufacturing. He highlights that while TSM has a significant presence in Taiwan, the establishment of a new foundry in Arizona, USA, is an encouraging step towards reducing dependency on imports. This development, tied to the larger CHIP Act, shows how political actions are directly influencing the tech landscape. Towards the latter part of the discussion, Ian shares some investment tips. He advises viewers to set entry points for high growth tech stocks at 25% from the top, as well as the importance of patience in the investment process. Rashad concurs, offering a slightly different metric range of 15-20% and pointing out the potential mistakes new investors might need to avoid, particularly chasing stocks that have already peaked. In an exciting twist, Ian demonstrates the utility of using AI tools like ChatGPT for investment research. By querying ChatGPT about ASML's monopoly on EUV machines, viewers can clearly see the critical role ASML plays in the semiconductor industry and why it's a dominant force that’s hard to compete with. If you're an investor, tech enthusiast, or someone interested in the future of AI and semiconductor technologies, this episode is packed with invaluable insights and practical tips.

In this clip, hosts Troy Millings and Ian Dunlap engage in a compelling discussion with guest Byron Donalds, U.S. Representative for Florida's 19th Congressional District. Together, they dive deep into critical economic issues that affect everyday Americans and businesses alike. *Main Topics Discussed:* *1. Tariff Policy and Its Implications:* Troy kickstarts the conversation by addressing the buzz around replacing personal income tax with tariffs and raising tariffs on China. Although Byron clarifies he's never heard President Trump propose replacing income tax with tariffs, he explains the necessity of enforcing tariff policies, particularly against trade violators like China. Byron elaborates that America has historically been lenient due to its powerful economy, but the dynamics have changed as China's economic influence has grown, necessitating stricter enforcement through tariffs to level the playing field for American consumers and workers. He also notes that President Biden has retained many of Trump's tariff policies, underscoring their importance. *2.

Byron acknowledges the complexity and emphasizes the need for price stability.

Welcome back to another insightful clip of Market Mondays, where we dive deep into the crucial topic of balancing business and investing. In this clip from, hosts Troy Millings and Rashad Bilal tackle one of the most pressing questions for entrepreneurs today: Should you prioritize growing your business or expanding your investment portfolio? To set the stage, Rashad brings up an intriguing comparison discussed on the "High Level Conversations" show between the importance of principles and habits. Inspired by this topic, Troy and Rashad argue that in the world of business and investing, principles and habits go hand in hand. Rashad emphasizes that the primary goal of any business should be to generate income that can then be invested wisely. He stresses the importance of financial habits and business discipline coexisting to ensure long-term success. The discussion turns into a valuable lesson on the dual nature of money management for business owners. Building a business requires passion and innovation, but without a strategic plan for investment, all the hard work can easily go to waste. On the flip side, focusing solely on investments without caring about the business could lead to a lack of passion and eventually, failure. The duo makes a compelling case: It's all about creating a balance. Troy agrees wholeheartedly and reflects on his personal journey, offering the blueprint for other entrepreneurs. He describes how he managed to juggle his career in education and building a business while always keeping investment strategies in mind. It wasn't about sudden wealth but a disciplined, well-thought-out approach to wealth-building through consistent investments. The hosts also caution against common pitfalls like overspending on luxury items such as cars, clothes, and jewelry. Rashad especially emphasizes that such purchases shouldn't take priority over investing in stocks, real estate, or other valuable assets that can be liquidated when needed. Troy adds that understanding the value of insured possessions can protect you against unforeseen losses. Moreover, the clip includes a strong message about the importance of investing in the right business. Troy shares his thoughts on how many entrepreneurs fall into the trap of becoming overly attached to their business idea, despite its lack of profitability. He advises investing in more profitable ventures or even in successful businesses run by others. Wrapping up, the hosts underline the importance of long-term financial security and sustainability. Rashad’s final advice is priceless: "Only buy things that can be sold." As he rightly points out, very few people can liquidate luxury items in times of need, making it crucial to focus on substantial, profitable investments. So whether you’re a seasoned entrepreneur or just starting out, this clip provides essential guidance on balancing your business aspirations with smart investing strategies.

Welcome to another insightful clip of Market Mondays! Today, we're diving deep into ASML, a pivotal player in the semiconductor industry that has remained somewhat under the radar despite its enormous influence. Join hosts Rashad Bilal, Ian Dunlap, and Troy Millings as they dissect the role of ASML in the chipmaking ecosystem and what the future holds for this tech giant. ASML is known for its near-monopoly on EUV (Extreme Ultraviolet) lithography technology, which is critical in creating the most advanced semiconductors. Although we frequently discuss industry giants like Nvidia and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC), it's crucial to understand the importance of the equipment that makes their success possible. And that's where ASML comes in. #### Key Points Discussed: - **ASML's Market Position**: Rashad introduces ASML as a gateway company vital to the technology ecosystem, highlighting its near-monopoly on EUV technology. - **Market Trends**: Ian and Troy discuss the current state of the semiconductor market, including a "chip recession," and how ASML is faring amidst these challenges. - **Price Predictions and Investment Strategy**: Ian provides an analysis of ASML's price fluctuations and offers insights on potential entry points for investors, emphasizing the value of being strategic, especially amidst market volatility. - **Technological Importance**: Troy elaborates on ASML's critical role in the semiconductor supply chain, particularly in creating nanometer chips that companies like Nvidia and TSMC rely on. - **Long-term Outlook**: The hosts discuss the future prospects of ASML, including the potential for geopolitical tensions affecting its market, but they also affirm its integral role in the continuing advancements in AI and chipmaking. #### Why ASML Matters: - **Monopoly on Cutting-edge Tech**: ASML's technology is indispensable for manufacturing the next generation of semiconductors, positioning it as a linchpin in the tech supply chain. - **Investment Potential**: Despite a 30% drop from its pandemic high, the hosts see significant long-term value in ASML, making it a compelling consideration for any tech-focused portfolio. - **Geopolitical Factors**: As a Dutch company, ASML operates within a complex landscape of international trade, which could either present opportunities or pose challenges, depending on the geopolitical climate. ASML is not a straightforward investment. Ian likens its volatility to that of Tesla, where the highs can be incredibly rewarding, but the lows can also be gut-wrenching. That's why knowing when to enter and exit positions is crucial. Moreover, the discussion highlights the broader implications of ASML's technology for the AI market and future chip innovations. For those interested in the mechanics of the tech supply chain and long-term investment strategies, this episode is a must-watch.

Welcome back to another clip of Market Mondays! In this clip, hosts Rashad Bilal, Troy Millings, and Ian Dunlap delve into one of the most intriguing competitions in the tech world today: Huawei versus Apple. Huawei, often dubbed the Chinese version of Apple, is the world's second-largest cell phone manufacturer. Despite their relatively low presence in the American market, Huawei continues to gain ground globally, especially in China. Are they positioning themselves to be a real threat to Apple? Join us as we explore this topic in detail. Rashad kicks off the discussion by highlighting Huawei's market strategy and its massive presence in the Chinese market. With Apple being the leader in consumer electronics, it’s fascinating to see how Huawei is challenging the giant, despite having little to no market presence in the USA. Ian underscores the importance of being vigilant about competitors, remarking how other companies like Intel have regretted not taking early threats seriously. Troy brings in another interesting angle: the timing of product announcements. Huawei has strategically chosen to announce their new phone model right around the time Apple usually does, essentially stepping on Apple's release moment. This competitive tactic is an aggressive nudge that says Huawei is ready for the showdown. We also discuss the impact of geopolitical tensions on these tech giants. Sanctions and trade restrictions have played crucial roles in shaping the current tech battlefield. Ian emphasizes the significance of this by pointing out how Tim Cook, Apple’s CEO, should be proactive in navigating these diplomatic waters to ensure Apple’s stronghold in vital markets like China and India. From the broader perspective of technological advancements, Troy questions whether there has been anything innovative in the smartphone market recently that makes consumers genuinely excited. With the latest models offering AI capabilities, there's a lot at stake for Apple to maintain its innovation lead. Moreover, Huawei's recent ventures into the electric vehicle market add another interesting dimension to this competition. This move signifies Huawei's ambition to diversify and branch out into new industries, something Apple has been cautious about. Our hosts also consider the brand loyalty factor. While Apple enjoys massive loyalty, especially domestically, the scenario overseas is dynamic and ever-changing. They emphasize the need for both companies to innovate continually and adapt to changing market conditions to stay relevant. Stay tuned until the end of the episode where we tackle various angles of this heated competition and offer our insights into who might emerge as the ultimate winner.

Welcome back to another episode of Market Mondays! In this episode, hosts Rashad Bilal, Troy Millings, and Ian Dunlap delve into the powerful topic of mindset and its impact on financial decisions and life in general. This eye-opening discussion stems from a profound quote shared by one of their mentors: "Black people operate from a scarcity mindset, no matter how much they have. White people operate from an abundance mindset, no matter how little they have." Throughout the episode, the hosts break down this statement and explore its implications on various aspects of life, particularly in business and investing. Rashad shares a personal anecdote about a meeting with their mentor that led to this enlightening perspective. He explains how a scarcity mindset can trap individuals, causing them to panic and make poor financial decisions, such as pulling out of investments prematurely. On the other hand, an abundance mindset encourages perseverance and long-term planning, even during financial setbacks. Troy and Rashad tie this concept back to the stock market, illustrating how these mindsets can influence investment strategies. They discuss how a scarcity mindset might push someone to withdraw their investments at the first sign of loss, while an abundance mindset encourages buying more during market dips with the confidence that the market will eventually rebound. Ian Dunlap contributes to the conversation by stressing the importance of emotional intelligence and planning for the future. He shares his mantra: "Deserve to be happy. Deserve to be rich. Deserve to be wealthy." He emphasizes the necessity of preparing financially before disaster strikes and highlights the cost of not being rich, especially in a rapidly changing economic landscape. The hosts also touch on the broader impact of these mindsets beyond finances. Rashad notes how the scarcity mindset affects black communities in various areas, such as the music industry, where competition often leads to conflicts rather than collaboration. This mindset can hinder collective progress and prevent the community from achieving greater success together. This episode of Market Mondays sheds light on the deep-seated psychological barriers that can affect decision-making and success. By understanding and addressing these mindsets, individuals can make more informed choices, foster better financial habits, and work towards a more prosperous future. Tune in to gain valuable insights and practical advice on changing your mindset from one of scarcity to one of abundance.

However, with recent adjustments in interest rates, this strategy has become riskier. *Key Points Discussed:* - *Yen Carry Trade Overview:* Ian Dunlap explains the basics of the yen carry trade, highlighting how investors would borrow cheap money from Japanese banks and invest it elsewhere for better returns. - *Interest Rate Adjustments:* The shift in interest rates means that those who borrowed under this strategy are now facing higher repayment costs, potentially leading to financial trouble if their investments haven’t paid off. - *Market Implications:* The hosts discuss how this shift affects the overall market, emphasizing that while the yen carry trade itself might not cause a market crash, other economic disasters could trigger significant downturns. - *Historical Context:* Ian touches upon historical instances, such as the market peak in 1999, drawing parallels and lessons to be learned from those periods. - *Japan’s Interest Rates:* A detailed discussion on the impact of Japan's prolonged low and negative interest rate policy, and how any significant rise in these rates could shake the markets. - *Current Market Status:* Ian reassures that despite recent turmoil, VIX has recovered, indicating a stabilization in the market. The trio also dive deep into the broader implications of these financial mechanisms, linking the yen carry trade strategy to past economic bubbles and cautioning viewers about the dangers of over-leveraging and the importance of knowing when to exit trades. Whether you’re an experienced investor or just getting started, this episode of Market Mondays offers valuable insights into the complexities of international financial strategies and their impact on global markets.

Welcome back to another exciting clip of Market Mondays! In today's session, Ian Dunlap, Rashad Bilal, and Troy Millings dive deep into the latest stock updates to help you make informed investment decisions. Whether you’re a seasoned investor or just starting, this episode is packed with valuable insights. In This Episode *Adobe's AI Advancements:* We start the episode by discussing Adobe and their recent earnings call, which saw the stock price soar by 15%. Adobe unveiled some major advancements in the world of artificial intelligence, but is it too little too late? Ian shares his candid thoughts on Adobe’s position in the AI landscape and whether it’s worth adding to your portfolio. *Automatic Data Processing (ADP):* Next, Troy brings up ADP, a global technology company specializing in HR, payroll, talent, time, and tax services. While the company has performed well traditionally, is it the best option in its category? Ian provides a nuanced take, putting ADP into the "maybe one day" folder and discussing its pros and cons. *Abbott Laboratories:* We then shift our focus to Abbott Laboratories, a global healthcare company that's down 6% year-to-date. Should you consider dating or dumping this stock? Ian talks about the competition in the healthcare space and under what conditions Abbott Laboratories could be a good pick for long-term investors. *CrowdStrike:* One of the highlights of this episode is the discussion around CrowdStrike, a leader in endpoint security. Up 55% year-to-date, CrowdStrike has managed to establish itself as a front-runner in the cybersecurity field. Ian enthusiastically endorses CrowdStrike, even coining a new phrase – "love bombing" – to describe his investment strategy for this stock. *Newmont Corporation:* On a different note, we explore Newmont Corporation, a major player in the gold, copper, zinc, and lead production sectors. Unfortunately, the outlook isn’t too rosy, with Ian giving it a definitive "hell no" due to its high volatility and poor past performance. *Capital One:* Finally, we evaluate Capital One.
