Market Mondays

This week on Market Mondays, we’re breaking down the biggest moves in investing, crypto, and global markets. We cover the futures trading tip of the week, this year’s most important investing lesson, and why Bitcoin’s drop to $85,000 has traders in “extreme fear.” We debate whether the bottom is close, if a fall to $70K or even $65K is realistic, and why MicroStrategy trading below the value of its own Bitcoin may signal either a loss of institutional confidence or the best buying opportunity of the cycle. We also unpack whether Ethereum could fall under $2,000 and how December’s market behavior might preview what 2026 looks like.We explore one of the most important conversations for any entrepreneur or investor: If you lost everything tomorrow, what are your first five moves? Ian and Rashad lay out the fastest, most realistic path to rebuilding from zero. We also break down whether to prioritize dividends or growth in today’s economy, how much company stock someone at Microsoft should realistically hold, and whether $70K Bitcoin is still a real near-term target. On the macro side, Japan’s 10-year yield hits 1.84% (highest since 2008), potentially signaling the end of the global carry trade — with major implications for U.S. stocks, tech, and crypto.We close with silver hitting $59 for the first time ever, posting a 100%+ yearly gain — is now the time to invest? Plus, we review new data revealing the minimum income needed to live comfortably in 2025, with rising housing, food, and healthcare costs reshaping what financial stability really means. And we’re joined by Jason Gyama, Founder of the Quarter Zip Movement, bringing strategy, energy, and culture to the conversation.Market Mondays Cyber Monday Deal (48 Hours Only): https://marketmondaysdeal.com#MarketMondays #Investing #Bitcoin #Crypto #Ethereum #StockMarket #Silver #WealthBuilding #Finance #EYL #QuarterZipMovementOur Sponsors:* Check out Square: https://square.com/go/eylSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/marketmondays/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

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.Ian Dunlap offers trading tactics for both beginners and advanced traders, explaining the importance of targeting trades differently on Mondays and Fridays versus the rest of the week to maximize gains and protect capital.This clip is jam-packed with actionable game for investors and traders seeking to decode the tech boom—spotlighting not just the well-known names, but also the hidden gems set to benefit most from ongoing AI development.If you’re ready to learn, execute, and take advantage of momentous opportunities in the evolving tech landscape, this is the clip you can’t afford to miss.*Hashtags:* #MarketMondays #AIStocks #TechInvesting #SanDisk #Nvidia #Broadcom #Fabrinet #SSD #FlashMemory #StockMarket #SP500 #TradingTips #WealthBuilding #FinancialEducation #EYUniversityOur Sponsors:* Check out Square: https://square.com/go/eylSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/marketmondays/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

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.

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 #MiddleEastTechOur Sponsors:* Check out Square: https://square.com/go/eylSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/marketmondays/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
