In this episode of Market Mondays, we break down one of the most unpredictable markets we’ve seen in years. Inflation has surged to a 2-year high, raising serious questions about whether the Fed is losing control and what it will actually take to bring rates down. At the same time, oil prices have crossed the $100 mark, banks are quietly positioning against private credit, and a new investigation into Lululemon could shake investor confidence.

We also dive into the Nasdaq’s recent winning streak—is this real strength or a setup for a major pullback? Plus, we talk about Sandisk’s historic run, the rise of anti-capitalism sentiment, and whether quantum computing stocks still deserve the hype. To close it out, we share one timeless investing lesson that every investor needs to understand in today’s market.

Special guest 19 Keys joins the conversation to break down the future of AI agents, how automation is reshaping the economy, and what it all means for investors moving forward.
