Dive deep with the Market Mondays crew as they break down the alarming state of the US labor market in this thought-provoking clip! Rashad Bilal, Ian Dunlap, and Troy Millings address the latest reports showing a drastic slowdown—only 22,000 jobs added in August, unemployment on the rise, and for the first time since 2021, more Americans are out of work than there are jobs available.

The hosts discuss the critical macro issues behind these numbers, including the mismanagement of US debt, the government's new venture capitalist approach, and how artificial intelligence is quickly replacing traditional jobs. What’s even more disturbing? Job numbers are routinely being revised downward by as much as 100,000–125,000 jobs, painting an even worse picture for the future.

Entrepreneurship is no longer optional—it's essential. With the gig economy rising and traditional jobs less available, finding alternative sources of income has become a necessity. The hosts delve into why commission-based work, investing, and side hustles are now crucial to survival, especially as Black Americans and women face even higher unemployment rates.

Plus, they explore the impact of falling interest rates, how tech companies are poised to benefit, and why the economic gap is widening. It's a tale of two economies: if you make $200k+, it’s a boom cycle; under $100k, it’s a recession. This is an essential watch for anyone trying to understand what’s really happening in today’s new economic reality.

Key Topics Covered:

• US labor market stats: job creation vs. unemployment trends
• Government debt and the shift to venture investing
• AI’s impact on employment and the future of work
• The gig economy and alternative streams of income
• Racial and gender unemployment disparities
• Effects of changing interest rates on different industries
• Why planning for the next decade is more crucial than ever

Don’t miss this honest, data-driven conversation—for entrepreneurs, employees, and investors alike. Let’s get real about the future of jobs, the economy, and how you can navigate what’s next.

In this insightful clip from *Market Mondays*, Bitcoin and crypto analyst Ian Dunlap tackles one of the hottest topics in crypto right now: the recent pullback after Bitcoin hit its high. Ian reminds us that in traditional markets, a price drop after a peak is typical—not something to panic about. So, why is the crypto crowd so surprised by this correction?

Ian shares his expert take on where smart investors should be looking to enter, highlighting $104,977 as a prime entry point. He addresses the talk and fear swirling in the market about deeper drops all the way to $82,000, and explains why that fear (or "FUD") might be overblown.

Looking ahead, Ian's outlook is confident: give Bitcoin two months, and we could see it climb right back to the $120K–$125K range and likely surpass previous all-time highs. For anyone wondering if now is the time to get in—or freaking out about volatility—this clip offers grounded, level-headed perspective from an industry pro.

*Key highlights from this clip:*

• Why market pullbacks after all-time highs are normal—even in crypto.
• Ian’s preferred Bitcoin entry price: $104,977.
• Thoughts on the much-discussed $82K drop and why it shouldn’t worry you.
• A clear timeline and price prediction for Bitcoin’s potential rebound.
• Addressing FUD and why patience is key for crypto investors.

Stay tuned for straight-talking commentary and practical insights that cut through the noise. If you’re looking for actionable crypto advice and want to know how a pro navigates Bitcoin corrections, this clip is a must-watch.

Millionaire Wave

Rising Black Millionaires, U.S. Owns 10% of Intel, Truth About AI Investments, & Invest Fest Recap

The U.S. government’s 10% stake in Intel is raising eyebrows—this move blurs the line between public policy and investment. Is this about national security, creating stable markets, or setting a new precedent of government as investor? On the retail side, Target’s outgoing CEO puts leadership strategy into focus: what qualities matter most for a successor navigating a shifting retail landscape?

Meanwhile, the market is buzzing with hot takes—Disney is sitting around $120 just as NFL season kicks off, ESPN is folding in NFL Network and RedZone, and the WWE deal is arriving earlier than expected. Is now the smart time to scale in? And with $15,000 to invest, is it better to hyper-concentrate into one high-conviction play, or diversify across four positions? We also ask why traders remain so locked in on $OPEN despite heavy volatility.

Zooming out, MIT reports that 95% of AI investments remain unprofitable—are we finally starting to separate hype from reality? Do we trust what’s real in AI, or is the bubble still inflating? Jack Dorsey has Sun Day and BitChat in motion—could hardware be next? And with markets pricing in a 90% chance of a Fed rate cut, how confident should investors really be in that outcome?

In this Market Mondays clip, hosts Rashad Bilal, Troy Millings, and Ian Dunlap break down the latest developments surrounding Nvidia, AMD, and the impact of Donald Trump’s strategy to allow U.S. chip sales to China—with a unique twist: a potential 15% revenue cut to the U.S. government. The trio explores what this means for American companies dominating the semiconductor space, how business-first policy maneuvers could shape the future, and the ripple effects on tech giants like Dell, Oracle, and Micron.

Ian and Troy discuss whether Trump’s negotiation style and dealmaking could benefit or hinder companies like Nvidia and AMD, while Rashad dives into the strategic moves NVIDIA and the government are making to ensure industry dominance without losing out to international competitors.

Key points explored in this clip:

• Trump’s “deal-making” approach to global tech and resource access
• How U.S. chipmakers like Nvidia and AMD stand to gain or lose from a 15% sales fee to the government
• The role of American tech companies like Dell, Oracle, and Micron in the race for semiconductor leadership
• The impact on net margins for AMD vs. Nvidia and implications for future growth and stability
• The pressures and strategies required for American firms to maintain market dominance amid trade restrictions

Whether you’re an investor, a tech enthusiast, or just curious about the future of American business and policy, this discussion delivers deep insights straight from the Market Mondays team.
