In this week’s episode of **Market Mondays**, we covered a wide range of key topics related to the current financial landscape. Ian shared his insights on stocks that could perform well if Donald Trump wins the next election, expanding on previous discussions about stocks to watch if Kamala Harris were to win. Troy also delivered an informative presentation on stock options, providing valuable strategies for navigating the market.

We dove into the topic of **Bitcoin** and discussed whether it will continue to follow the Quantitative Easing, 4-year cycle. Ian also provided his **trading tip of the week**, emphasizing that "the shorter the time frame, the weaker the signal," offering advice on how to interpret market signals effectively.

Another major topic was the **potential acquisition of Expedia by Uber**. We explored what this purchase could mean for both companies and the broader tech industry. We also had a special guest—U.S. Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona—who joined us to discuss the Biden administration’s **$4.5 billion student debt relief announcement** and the current status of education in America. This was an insightful conversation about the government’s efforts to alleviate financial burdens on students.

Additionally, we addressed whether it’s a good time to consider **precious metals like gold**, which recently hit a record high. We explored how much of your portfolio should be allocated to precious metals. We also tackled the question, "If I only invest in VTI and QQQM for the long term, will I be fine?" offering a deep dive into these two popular index funds.

In a more rebellious approach, we discussed the strategy of holding **2 tech stocks and 3 index funds** (like healthcare and small caps) for broader exposure, challenging the conventional wisdom of sticking to a strict balance of investments. Finally, we highlighted **8 dividend stocks beyond the usual Dividend Kings**, featuring names like Verizon, Pfizer, UPS, Kraft Heinz, T. Rowe Price, Chevron, CVS Health, and Sirius XM, giving investors new options for securing reliable income.
