This week on Market Mondays we’re getting tactical and long-term: your futures trading tip of the week, the biggest mistakes younger investors make chasing fast wins, and the most important investing lessons this year reinforced. We also get personal about the mindset shifts that matter—what we used to disagree with early on, then changed our mind about later, and the questions people should be asking if they actually want to build wealth over decades (not just catch a lucky trade).Then we dive into what’s moving markets right now: Oracle as a business and investment, whether the AI narrative tied to SoftBank/OpenAI has pushed expectations too far, and what really caused Friday’s sell-off—plus whether it quietly changed market structure more than most people realize. We break down the Coinbase vs. MicroStrategy vs. IBIT debate, talk about whether we’re headed toward a real correction or just another emotional shakeout, and if the market is broadening beyond tech or setting up a head fake before leadership narrows again.We also hit the high-volatility conversations: Super Micro’s relevance in AI infrastructure, how elite traders handle ES and NQ moving in sync, and whether leveraged ETFs like NVDL/AMDL are advanced tools—or long-term portfolio destroyers in disguise. Plus: quantum computing (obvious leaders vs. sleeper names), and a real discussion on how to balance fitness, family, investing, travel, and content creation without burning out. And we’re joined by Derrick Hayes to talk about his business journey and what it really takes to scale.#MarketMondays #Investing #Stocks #FuturesTrading #DayTrading #LongTermInvesting #FinancialLiteracy #WealthBuilding #AI #Oracle #Crypto #Bitcoin #Coinbase #MicroStrategy #IBIT #ETFs #LeveragedETFs #NVDL #AMDL #TechStocks #MarketNews #TradingPsychology #RiskManagement #QuantumComputing #Entrepreneurship #DerrickHayes #EarnYourLeisureSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/marketmondays/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

This week on Market Mondays, we kick things off with our Futures Trading Tip of the Week and a breakdown of the biggest investing mistake of the year. We dive into the shocking rebound of Carvana joining the S&P 500 after nearly going bankrupt — debating whether it’s a true comeback story or a sign the market is getting reckless again. We also break down the massive bidding war for Warner Bros Discovery, who needs WBD the most to survive the next decade, and what this means for the future of media. Caleb Silver, Editor-in-Chief of Investopedia, joins us with expert data and insight throughout the discussion.We compare Paramount’s heavy debt load to Netflix’s growth and free cash flow dominance and question whether a Netflix–WBD deal would spark a new era of media consolidation or run into regulatory roadblocks. From there, we shift to AI and corporate strategy, analyzing IBM’s $11B acquisition of Confluent and whether M&A is becoming the quiet force powering the next leg of the AI boom. We also cover holiday spending vs weak investor sentiment, whether investors should rotate into safer stocks, and what Wednesday’s Fed decision could mean for markets heading into 2026.To wrap up, we go rapid-fire: the most attractive stocks currently dipping for LEAPs and swing trades, which companies are less likely to be corrupt or mismanaged, whether failed AI bets could force bailouts in tech, Bitcoin’s next move toward $65K or $70K, Apple’s potential talent crisis after losing multiple key executives, and if an oil collapse into the $30s could make the entire energy sector uninvestable. A packed episode with strategy, clarity, and expert perspective. #MarketMondays #EarnYourLeisure #CalebSilver #Investopedia #Investing #StockMarket #Bitcoin #OptionsTrading #AIStocks #MediaMergers #Carvana #Apple #OilPrices #WealthBuilding #FinancePodcast #EYLSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/marketmondays/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
