In this insightful Market Mondays clip, Rashad Bilal, Ian Dunlap, and Troy Millings break down Netflix’s strategy and the latest shake-ups in the streaming and media industries. The hosts debate whether Netflix can reclaim $100+ per share and if it’s still a top buy for long-term investors—even as seismic changes hit Paramount and major players like Larry Ellison double down on media investments. The conversation kicks off with Rashad Bilal sharing why Netflix’s push into live events, like big fight nights and sports, is building a new moat around its business—transforming them into this generation’s version of cable. Ian Dunlap reinforces the bullish outlook, reminding investors that while big year-over-year gains might slow, Netflix is still one of the best-run companies in media. The hosts urge viewers to get comfortable with longer holding periods, noting that industry giants are playing 20- to 30-year games while everyday investors sometimes focus way too much on 3- to 6-month swings. Troy Millings explores Netflix’s shift towards integrating into our daily routines—not just through binge-worthy series, but partnerships like the iHeartRadio deal, live sports, and an expanding podcast presence. He highlights the Diddy documentary’s viral numbers and what that means for Netflix’s future pipeline. The clip also dives into headline-grabbing moves by Larry Ellison, including the rumored $40 billion personal guarantee attached to mega-mergers with Paramount and Warner Brothers, plus the deepening relationship between Oracle and TikTok. Ian Dunlap explains the power and intent behind these deals—not just for building influence, but controlling media narratives and ensuring stability across their empire. Amid all the deal-making and power plays, this Market Mondays highlight ends on a crucial message: stay committed to your portfolio, play the long game, and don’t get spooked by short-term volatility. As the media industry consolidates and the fight for viewer engagement escalates, the best assets—including Netflix—are set for years of growth. *Topics covered:* Will Netflix surpass $100 again?

In this insightful Market Mondays clip, Rashad Bilal, Ian Dunlap, and Troy Millings break down what’s on the horizon for 2026 and beyond—and how you can put yourself in the best position to benefit. Ian Dunlap sets the tone by predicting a tumultuous year ahead but with a positive ending in 2026, urging viewers to focus on *asset accumulation*. Whether you believe in Bitcoin, Microstrategy, index funds, or even dreaming about SpaceX, now is the time to become an “asset hoarder.” The key message? Deploy your capital into assets with conviction rather than waiting for the perfect moment! Troy Millings adds optimism, emphasizing major “catalyst events” like continued spending from tech giants such as Amazon, Meta, Microsoft, and Google. According to Troy, deregulation in AI and infrastructure spending will be a key theme, helping both technology and financial sectors. He predicts further gains for the S&P 500 and highlights that although volatility and possible downturns may appear towards the end of the year, the outlook remains strong—especially for those who stay focused, prepared, and ready to buy during market pullbacks. The trio also discusses the importance of focusing on decade-long investment horizons versus getting caught up in short-term fluctuations. The lesson is clear: building real, generational wealth requires patience and the discipline to invest, even when the market looks shaky. You’ll also hear sharp insights into the risks of market gatekeeping, venture capital exclusivity, and the power of preparation—plus why every downturn is actually a buying opportunity for the informed investor. *Key takeaways from this Market Mondays clip:* 2026 will likely bring volatility and possibly a market free fall, but long-term winners will use it as an accumulation year. Focus on building your portfolio with quality assets—don’t waste time waiting for perfect conditions. Expect increased spending in tech and infrastructure, deregulation benefits (especially in AI), and more tailwinds for growth. Don’t get distracted by crash predictions—stay focused on a 10-year investment plan. Downturns are opportunities for those who are prepared with cash and a strategy.
