Catalyst Events: Tech Giants Driving Spending

Get ready for an honest, no-nonsense look at the future of the financial markets! In this insightful Market Mondays clip, Rashad Bilal, Ian Dunlap, and Troy Millings break down what’s on the horizon for 2026 and beyond—and how you can put yourself in the best position to benefit. Ian Dunlap sets the tone by predicting a tumultuous year ahead but with a positive ending in 2026, urging viewers to focus on *asset accumulation*. Whether you believe in Bitcoin, Microstrategy, index funds, or even dreaming about SpaceX, now is the time to become an “asset hoarder.” The key message? Deploy your capital into assets with conviction rather than waiting for the perfect moment! Troy Millings adds optimism, emphasizing major “catalyst events” like continued spending from tech giants such as Amazon, Meta, Microsoft, and Google. According to Troy, deregulation in AI and infrastructure spending will be a key theme, helping both technology and financial sectors. He predicts further gains for the S&P 500 and highlights that although volatility and possible downturns may appear towards the end of the year, the outlook remains strong—especially for those who stay focused, prepared, and ready to buy during market pullbacks. The trio also discusses the importance of focusing on decade-long investment horizons versus getting caught up in short-term fluctuations. The lesson is clear: building real, generational wealth requires patience and the discipline to invest, even when the market looks shaky. You’ll also hear sharp insights into the risks of market gatekeeping, venture capital exclusivity, and the power of preparation—plus why every downturn is actually a buying opportunity for the informed investor. *Key takeaways from this Market Mondays clip:*
