In this episode of Market Mondays, we reflect on our experience in West Africa and discuss the powerful investment and business opportunities emerging across the continent. From infrastructure to entrepreneurship, the future of Africa is being built—and we’re seeing it firsthand. We also break down how the latest U.S. job report numbers have negatively impacted the markets, and what investors should prepare for next.
We give our analysis on three major companies—CoreWeave, Figma, and Terawulf—following their IPOs, and we each reveal the most disappointing and most surprising stocks of the year so far. Ms. Business joins us to drop gems on marketing, branding, taxes, and what she’s bringing to the Invest Fest 2025 stage. Plus, we cover the latest changes to 529 education savings plans and offer practical advice for beginner traders just starting their financial journey.
Jay Jacobs, U.S. Head of Equity ETFs at BlackRock, also joins the show to give us a preview of what iShares by BlackRock is bringing to Invest Fest 2025. From two hands-on ETF education workshops to in-depth discussions on investing for retirement, AI, bitcoin, and shifting global markets—this is a must-watch for anyone looking to level up their investment game.

I didn't know anything about stocks but always been focused long-term. I got insight on these guys from a friend and these dudes always educate me and their guest are ALWAYS on point. Didn't have much to start in the market but never heard of DCA until these guys. Thank you so much 🙏🏾

I've only made roughly 8% total, or 2% annually, from investing 50% of my $150k salary over the past four years. i want to build a good investment portfolio and have been looking at videos and doing research to be more educated. Where should i invest this for stable cashflow?

@gotmyownstep9
It’s a relief hearing the guy talk about AI being used as a tool when all you hear nowadays is AI is going to take your job, but like Ian said, 2 things can be true at once
@jalenglasper5055
Don’t understand why anyone would hate on this show, but nothing can stop what’s destined to be 💯
@isiahnelsoniv
These guys had the head of ETFs from BlackRock on market Mondays yesterday and a lot of what he said was what the guys have been echoing for years. A lot of you seem to be looking for a reason to dislike them instead of looking at the people who vouch for them.
@wilhammonger7802
Ian’s analogy is funny but spot on, lol

@InsideInformationz
Anyone else stuck with a non-self-directed 401k? Tempted to pay the penalty and move it to MSTR and MSTY. Earning 10% a year in basic ETFs for the next 30+ years until I can access it? No thanks!
@harleysanchez3594

@emmaalga6511
Living the dream I once prayed for, I'm 38 and retired, $65K biweekly and a lovely family who supported me. Your words really motivated me!.
@emmaalga6511
As an investment enthusiast, I often wonder how top-level investors are able to become millionaires through investing. I have a significant amount of capital to start with, but I'm unsure about the strategies and direction I should take to help me generate substantial profits like some people are this season!
@emmaalga6511
Confused on how anyone can hate these guys helping the community. Thank you, gentlemen ! I appreciate ya'l!
@ki196
Ian's example on France, colonialism and holding for the long term was diabolical. Am holding that in my brain long term! Kudos my brother.
@ctturner6017
Countless 💎 💎 💎 in this episode! I really like the insight the guy from Black rock gave on the landscape of AI. Appreciate the episode!
@DivineQueenMajorieArc1111
Thank you 👑 Bilal. I was trying to find the person who supported me in Fanbase, I couldn't remember the name, my son said it's Bilal. I want to thank you and appreciate you. I always support those who support me. Much Love!!❤❤

It’s important to know a country’s history before engaging with its leaders. President Talon has suppressed opposition, changed the constitution to tighten his grip on power, and is often seen as serving France’s interests over his own people—actions that set a worrying precedent for democracy in Africa. Still, thanks for the financial information.🇨🇮🇨🇮🇨🇮
