• Market Predictions: Could the S&P 500 Triple by 2030?

    In this clip of Market Mondays, Rashad Bilal and Ian Dunlap dive deep into the latest economic predictions and analyses. They begin by discussing the possibility of a rate cut in September, with Ian sharing his optimistic forecast despite the current economic landscape. Will Jerome Powell and the Federal Reserve take action? Stay tuned to find out.


    The duo also sheds light on the recent comments from Fed Chair Jerome Powell about inflation trends and the likelihood of a rate cut. With data from the Chicago Mercantile Exchange suggesting a 95% chance, the conversation gets intriguing. Could we really witness a rate cut this September? And if not, what could be the next steps in November or even December?


    Next, they tackle analyst Tom Lee's bold prediction that the S&P 500 will triple by 2030. Is it realistic for the market to see such an exponential rise within just six years? Ian weighs in on the feasibility of such growth, considering potential reshuffling in the S&P 500 and the impact of inflation.


    Rashad introduces a fascinating angle on hyperinflation and its influence on market returns. If inflation rates increase, the traditional 7% returns may no longer suffice. They walk you through the Rule of 72, which underscores the importance of higher returns to combat the devaluation of money.

    - Insights on the potential rate cut in September 2023.

    - Analysis of Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s recent statements and their implications.

    - An in-depth look at Tom Lee's prediction for the S&P 500 reaching 15,000 by 2030.

  • Is Honeywell a Better Investment Than Tesla?

    Welcome back to another insightful clip of Market Mondays! In this clip, our hosts Rashad Bilal, Ian Dunlap, and Troy Millings dive deep into the world of stocks and investments, shedding light on some of the most pressing questions from our viewers. 🚀📊


    *In This Clip:*


    🎯 *Honeywell vs. Tesla:*

    - Rashad kicks off the episode by questioning whether Honeywell is a good stock to invest in at the moment. Ian Dunlap makes a compelling argument that Honeywell could potentially be a better investment than Tesla, at least in certain areas like robotics. The hosts discuss Honeywell’s diverse portfolio, including aerospace, energy solutions, and industrial divisions. While Ian gives Honeywell a solid B rating and notes its potential to provide a consistent 15-18% annual return, he clarifies that it doesn’t make his top 25 list.


    💄 *Beauty Industry Insights - E.L.F.:*

    - The hosts take a moment to discuss E.L.F., a prominent yet sometimes overlooked player in the beauty industry. They share how some of their viewers have seen significant returns from investing in this "sleeper" stock. Ian provides some actionable insights into potential entry points for investors, recommending a patient entry at $162.40 or a quicker one at $189.49.


    💔 *Macy's Downfall:*

    - A viewer’s question about Macy’s shares plunging leads to a discussion about the retailer's struggles. Ian and Troy highlight why they believe Macy's is an uninvestable company, pointing to its outdated business model and poor profit margins. They discuss how Macy's failed to adapt to the e-commerce trend and why stores like TJ Maxx have managed to outperform them.


    🤖 *GPT's Take on Stocks Better Than Tesla:*

    - In a lighter moment, Rashad reads off a list generated by ChatGPT, naming companies purportedly better investments than Tesla. The hosts react to this AI-generated list, critiquing some of the choices and emphasizing the importance of human insight in investment decisions.


    Whether you're a seasoned investor or just starting out, you'll find value in the comprehensive analysis and lively debate that Rashad, Ian, and Troy bring to the table. Make sure to tune in to get the latest insights and strategies to help guide your investment decisions.

  • Navigating Recessions and Building Confidence in Trading

    In this clip of Market Mondays, hosts Rashad Bilal, Ian Dunlap, and Troy Millings dive deep into current market trends, investment strategies, and practical tips for both novice and experienced investors. Covering a range of topics from the impact of declining lumber futures to the evolving definitions of a recession, our hosts offer valuable insights to help you navigate these challenging economic times.


    The clip begins by addressing the significant decline in lumber futures, the decrease in yields, and the slowing down of the M2 money supply. Ian Dunlap emphasizes the market's inherent bias and how it is strategically manipulated to avoid long-term recessions, suggesting that a traditional recession is unlikely in the next four to five years. He advises investors to diversify their portfolios by investing in assets like Bitcoin, Apple, and Microsoft while cautioning against heavily trading lumber futures and recommending alternatives like crude oil and gold.


    Rashad Bilal poses a critical question for investors: How can they build confidence in trading or making stock purchases post-recession, even after thorough research and preparation? Ian Dunlap responds with straightforward advice: engage with reliable sources of investment information, including the Red Panda community and Market Mondays. He underscores the importance of learning from past episodes and applying that knowledge to current investment strategies.


    Troy Millings joins the conversation, emphasizing the need for execution over hesitation. He encourages investors to start small, even if it's just purchasing one share or one contract, and then gradually build confidence through experience.

  • Top Stock Picks: Adobe, ADP, Abbott Laboratories, and More

    Welcome back to another exciting clip of Market Mondays! In today's session, Ian Dunlap, Rashad Bilal, and Troy Millings dive deep into the latest stock updates to help you make informed investment decisions. Whether you’re a seasoned investor or just starting, this episode is packed with valuable insights.


    In This Episode


    *Adobe's AI Advancements:*

    We start the episode by discussing Adobe and their recent earnings call, which saw the stock price soar by 15%. Adobe unveiled some major advancements in the world of artificial intelligence, but is it too little too late? Ian shares his candid thoughts on Adobe’s position in the AI landscape and whether it’s worth adding to your portfolio.


    *Automatic Data Processing (ADP):*

    Next, Troy brings up ADP, a global technology company specializing in HR, payroll, talent, time, and tax services. While the company has performed well traditionally, is it the best option in its category? Ian provides a nuanced take, putting ADP into the "maybe one day" folder and discussing its pros and cons.


    *Abbott Laboratories:*

    We then shift our focus to Abbott Laboratories, a global healthcare company that's down 6% year-to-date. Should you consider dating or dumping this stock? Ian talks about the competition in the healthcare space and under what conditions Abbott Laboratories could be a good pick for long-term investors.


    *CrowdStrike:*

    One of the highlights of this episode is the discussion around CrowdStrike, a leader in endpoint security. Up 55% year-to-date, CrowdStrike has managed to establish itself as a front-runner in the cybersecurity field. Ian enthusiastically endorses CrowdStrike, even coining a new phrase – "love bombing" – to describe his investment strategy for this stock.


    *Newmont Corporation:*

    On a different note, we explore Newmont Corporation, a major player in the gold, copper, zinc, and lead production sectors. Unfortunately, the outlook isn’t too rosy, with Ian giving it a definitive "hell no" due to its high volatility and poor past performance.


    *Capital One:*

    Finally, we evaluate Capital One. Despite having a decent run post-pandemic, Ian advises against investing in this financial services company, favoring other options in the banking sector like Chase or BlackRock.


    Key Takeaways


    - *Stock Picks:* Understand which stocks are worth dating and which ones you should dump.

    - *AI & Cybersecurity:* Learn about the leading companies in these rapidly evolving sectors.

    Troy analyzes Tesla's stock performance over various timeframes and shares his skepticism regarding the stock's ability to rebound to past highs. Both hosts agree that, while the brand remains strong, the current lack of innovation and solid planning poses challenges.


    🤖 *Elon's Vision vs. Market Realities*

    Ian draws parallels between Tesla’s current situation and historical moments in Apple’s journey, proposing that stronger executive management could be pivotal for Tesla's future success. He emphasizes the need for a clear roadmap, which seems to be missing at the moment.


    📊 *Investor Sentiment and Market Movement*

    The hosts discuss the drop in interest and volume in Tesla options trading, a telltale sign that the stock isn't capturing the same excitement it once did. Troy and Ian express their belief in the potential of Tesla but remain cautious about its short-term prospects.


    🚗 *Future Outlook*

    Despite acknowledging the high risks, Ian and Troy hold onto their belief in Tesla's long-term potential. Troy is optimistic about Tesla's upcoming quarterly performance, while Ian humorously urges Elon to use a clear plan for the next few years, perhaps scribed on the back of the Cybertruck with the help of GPT technology.
