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.

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.The recent tech crash created unique buying opportunities, and we broke down where savvy investors should focus their attention. Alphabet’s shares crossing the $200 milestone on a split-adjusted basis for the first time highlighted major growth drivers, while the historic low in the VIX signaled intriguing shifts in market volatility. We also looked at the latest AI rally, which appears to have left Apple behind, raising questions about whether the tech giant can catch up or if a new leader is emerging. Meanwhile, the rivalry between Elon Musk and Sam Altman took center stage as we debated its implications for AI innovation.Finally, we turned our attention to bearish sentiment on Nike despite its stock dropping to $70, discussing whether this presents a hidden opportunity or a long-term concern.

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 #CurrentEventsTune in and subscribe to Market Mondays for more deep dives into the ever-evolving world of geopolitics and economics!Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/marketmondays/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
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.

They do not recommend Rashad’s approach to the average investor due to its extreme volatility and high stakes.4. *Understanding Premiums and Discounts in Investment:*Josh delves into the concept of premium and discount in market trading, using historical examples and explaining how MicroStrategy defies conventional wisdom by trading at a premium rather than a discount.5. *Future of Bitcoin and Crypto ETFs:*The discussion touches on the broader crypto market, referencing Grayscale Bitcoin Trust and the arrival of spot Bitcoin ETFs.

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.Be sure to like, comment, and subscribe to stay updated on the latest financial insights and market trends from Market Mondays!*Hashtags:*#MarketMondays #ChipStocks #Nvidia #AIStocks #StockMarket #Investing #FinancialInsights #MutualFunds #ETFs #TechStocks #JoshBrown #RashadBilal #ASML #AMD #StockMarketAnalysis #InvestmentStrategies #FinancialAdviceSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/marketmondays/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
