Summary
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.
