In this episode of Market Mondays, we dive into some of the most pressing topics shaping the worlds of investing, technology, and politics. We start by discussing the controversial Trump Meme Coin—should people invest in it, even if they don’t align with his agenda? Next, we tackle the TikTok ban and reversal, as Apple and Google removed the app but later reinstated it. What does this mean for the platform’s future and its impact on investors? We also explore the presence of big tech CEOs at the inauguration, with the notable absence of Elon Musk, and analyze who stands to benefit most from this political alignment.

We also reviewed Barron’s stock picks of the year, diving into companies like Coupang, Affirm Holdings, J.M. Smucker, Philip Morris, and more, offering our insights on which ones might be worth considering.
