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.

The War Index, Meta’s Military Moves, & XRP’s Future 12:16

منذ 6 أيام12:16

12:16

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. Does long-term regime change trigger more instability? Rashad explores lessons from history, the risks of forced changes, and what global players want for Iran’s future. But it’s not all global tension! The clip also covers how the markets respond to conflict, why “the market is literally rigged to stay up,” and tactical investment tips on stocks like Palantir and Meta, especially as they break new all-time highs. Crypto fans, this one’s for you too—debate heats up over Bitcoin, Jack Dorsey versus Michael Saylor, and the ever-polarizing XRP. Rashad opens up about his fraught relationship with the XRP crowd and pushes Ian and Troy to weigh in: will XRP ever hit $10,000, or will institutional power always win out? Plus, hear exclusive details about Invest Fest, including a raffle for an all-expenses-paid trip to Ghana and special appearances from the likes of Jack Dorsey and past panelists like Cathie Wood. 🔔 Subscribe and hit the bell so you never miss Market Mondays insights! 👇 Drop your thoughts below: Do you agree that data is the new oil in modern conflicts?

منذ 24 يومًا5:28

5:28

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%. The hosts also talk about Robinhood’s ability to stay ahead of the curve, catering to their core audience, and refusing to shy away from who they are, while other legacy companies struggle to keep up. They draw analogies to sports, emphasizing that Robinhood’s consistent improvements year after year make it a stock you wouldn’t want to bet against. Whether you’re a trader, investor, or someone fascinated by corporate turnarounds, this Market Mondays clip offers valuable insights into recognizing growth, innovation, and resilience in today’s financial markets. * #Robinhood #StockMarket #MarketMondays #Investing #SuccessStory #Finance #RetailInvesting #Innovation #Crypto #OptionsTrading #FuturesTrading #BullMarket * Our Sponsors: * Check out PNC Bank: https://www.pnc.com Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/marketmondays/donations Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy…

Africa’s Investment Boom, Farming Gold Rush & Pro-Trump Sentiment? 8:19

منذ 28 يومًا8:19

8:19

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!

MM #261: Are Big Tech Stocks Still Safe? EYL Africa Recap, AI Chips, Gold, & The Hidden Recession Signal 1:54:05

منذ 5 weeks1:54:05

1:54:05

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 clip, Ian Dunlap and Rashad Bilal unpack Bank of America’s recent advisory urging investors to short the S&P 500 amid concerns of a global shift away from US equities and US bond credit ratings. Is the era of American exceptionalism really coming to an end, or is the innovation engine still running strong? Ian and Rashad dig deep into why shorting US equities right now might be a mistake—even with doubts swirling about the country's future growth. They highlight major U.S. innovators such as OpenAI, Palantir, and Anderil, as well as tech giants like Nvidia, Microsoft, and Meta, showing how these companies are not just maintaining but expanding America’s leadership in technology and AI. The conversation also explores: Why America's most disruptive companies haven’t even gone public yet How Starlink and Meta are transforming global connectivity—above and below ground The importance of understanding innovation cycles before making emotional investing decisions Why debt and macro numbers don’t tell the whole story about US market strength How biotech and data infrastructure are changing the investment landscape Whether you’re a seasoned investor or just watching the markets, this clip offers a balanced perspective on future opportunities and risks in U.S. equities.

Ian emphasizes the importance of picking solid investments early—think Microsoft, Visa, and bitcoin—and making those investments a financial priority. He also highlights the necessity of building entrepreneurial skills and considering business opportunities beyond the U.S. Rashad echoes Ian’s advice, underscoring the need to develop 50-year skill sets and to explore tech-driven companies, ETFs like QQQ, and real estate.

The trio offers actionable steps: Invest at least 20% of your income as soon as you can, even before paying off debt, to create long-term wealth. Build a personal brand and showcase your ideas—don’t go into interviews empty-handed! Keep your living expenses low (living at home is okay!) so you can save and invest more. Build networks by staying active in alumni associations and professional groups. Learn practical, future-proof skills, including technology and AI. They also address parents, urging them to be patient as the job market is challenging—even for top tech employees. The conversation wraps up with a reminder to prioritize assets over liabilities and to stay disciplined in money habits.

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. What does this mean for healthcare stocks like Pfizer, Eli Lilly, Novo Nordisk, Johnson & Johnson, CVS, Amgen, and more? The hosts lay out possible outcomes and the bigger economic picture, including references to Mark Cuban’s earlier ideas about drug pricing and fair access. Next up, the crew unpacks the real story behind Amazon’s much-discussed “purchase” of $84 million in AMD shares. Is this a direct investment or the result of AMD’s acquisition of ZT Group International—where Amazon already had stakes? 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. Throughout the clip, Rashad, Ian, and Troy provide honest takes on market strategies, investment insights, and the political chess game playing out in real time. From healthcare innovation to tech self-sufficiency, this conversation is a must-watch for investors, entrepreneurs, and anyone wanting to stay ahead of the curve on Wall Street.

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? The hosts dig deep into the surprising market reaction, discussing the key reason for the stock surge: Elon Musk’s claim that he’ll be stepping back from his distractions (like Dogecoin and Starlink) and refocusing on Tesla. But is that enough to restore investor faith? The trio questions whether Musk’s “I’ll do better” pledge can truly turn things around—especially when Tesla’s facing tough competition, technical stagnation, and missed milestones with vehicles like the Model Y and Cybertruck. Tune in for a candid conversation about CEO privilege, market psychology, and the future of Tesla as both a car company and a tech company.

You’re Being Ripped Off: The Hidden Price of Capitalism EXPOSED 11:53

منذ 10 weeks11:53

11:53

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 China The role of capitalism, markups, and corporate greed How market belief systems set value and price Tariffs, inflation, and stagnant wages Essential vs. luxury items: where do we draw the line? Short-term vs. long-term economic planning in America and abroad The rise of American oligarchs and their effect on democracy Why 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.

Embracing Tech: Bridging Gaps in AI and Representation 7:16

منذ 14 weeks7:16

7:16

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 Our Sponsors: * Check out PNC Bank: https://www.pnc.com Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/marketmondays/donations 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.
