Last year we had the honor of having Mark Cuban as a guest. During his legendary episode, he referenced a company that he invested in on Shark Tank, called Twist It Up. Twist It Up is a hair grooming company that has a unique patent for a comb in the shape of a miniature tennis racket, which is designed to twist hair. He said the reason that he invested in the company was because of the passion of the founder and the upside potential of the product.   On episode 156, we had the opportunity of sitting down with the founder of Twist It Up, Noel Durity and his partner Ace. They walked us through the process of starting their company, getting a patent, the legal world of patents and trademarks, their experience on Shark Tank, business lessons learned from Mark Cuban and Daymond John, and more. #twistitup #sharktank #blackhair

 In this week’s episode of Market Mondays, Troy Millings and Ian Dunlap discuss a selection of companies, weighing in on whether they are stocks to keep or to let go of right now. 
 McCardo Libre ($MELI), known as the Amazon of South America, impresses Ian, especially if it dips below $1425. He acknowledges its strong performance, despite wanting to see how it adjusts to the current market. 
 Carnival Cruise Line ($CCL), despite a year of ups and downs, is seen as a "good trade, bad investment" by Ian. He suggests a cautious approach with a potential trade if it falls back to $12 or around $9. 
 For The Hershey Company ($HSY), despite a tough year and rising cocoa costs, Ian expresses long-term interest, setting his ideal buying price at $132 but considering $165 to $171 acceptable for investment. 
 General Electric ($GE) sparks a change of heart for Ian, praising its leadership and pricing increase. Yet, the boom and bust cycles keep him from a long-term commitment, though he's open to a swing trade around $71 to $75. 
 UPS ($UPS) finds itself in a predicament with Amazon encroaching on its territory. Ian suggests looking out for a price drop to $128 or $110 before taking it for a "date," with a clear stance towards a cautious approach. 
 Finally, the Timken Company ($TKR) is described as an unexpectedly attractive stock by Ian. With its price appreciation, he would take it on a date at the right price point, ideally at $72 or loving it at $50. 
 Throughout the show, the chemistry between Troy and Ian makes for an entertaining yet insightful analysis as they dissect each company’s potential, with Ian providing specific price points that he believes would make for a good trade or investment.

The Brewing Storm: What's Next for the Global Economy?

In this impactful clip of Market Mondays, hosts Rashad Bilal, Troy Millings, and Ian Dunlap share their expertise on financial planning for your child's future. Rashad discusses the power of compounding interest and the long-term benefits of investing in a Roth IRA for your child. With as little as $8,000 invested between the ages of 14 to 17, Rashad illustrates how this can potentially grow to a whopping $325,000 by the time they reach retirement, all tax-free and with a staggering 3968% rate of return. He emphasizes the idea that this is not just money for the sake of money; it's about securing your child's financial future and providing a stable foundation they can rely on as they age. Alongside Rashad's insights, Ian stresses the importance of long-term investment and planning for family succession, while Troy highlights the need to prepare for the future responsibilities that come with retirement, including caring for older generations.
