In this episode of Market Mondays, we unpack the latest moves in tech, finance, and global economics. We kick things off with Trump’s flip-flop on tech tariffs and what that could mean for investors and the broader market. Ray Dalio also raised eyebrows this week with his warning about something “greater than a recession”—we break down what he might be signaling. Then there’s NVIDIA’s massive $500 billion commitment to building American-made AI supercomputers in the U.S. for the first time. Is this a sign that semiconductors are still the smartest long-term play in a fractured global economy? Troy delivers an in-depth stock options presentation, and we debate whether it makes sense to explore put options on luxury brand LVMH in the current market. Special guest Morgan DeBaun joins the show to talk about her journey in tech, growing her companies, navigating mergers and acquisitions, and balancing motherhood while running an empire. We also tackle some key investment questions from the audience: What should someone making $60K a year or less be doing with their money? The price to buy NVIDIA, How should investors navigate the bond market during uncertain times? And if you have $1.2 million to invest while making $100K annually, is the “2 tech, 2 index” strategy the best move—or are there smarter options?
