Stop being afraid of the recession

Today we talk about the coming recession and how to prepare for it as an investor. There's a tremendous amount of fear surrounding economic downturns, and much of the financial anxiety is justified. However, there are some things you can do as an investor to make sure you're ready. The biggest mistake is to clam up, sell everything and hide. A recession doesn't mean that you withdraw from the economy, it just means that you have to participate in a different way. The companies that do well durin...

Kanye West wants to build his own city called "The Yecosystem"

According to Rolling Stone Magazine, #KanyeWest has a big project in the works: KANYE WEST MIGHT have plans as ambitious as running for president. In the midst of all the chaos from West’s past month, his team filed a slew of trademark applications that would allow West to create his own mini-community — or as West intends to call it, the “Yecosystem.” West’s plan for his own small “universe” has been in the works for years, two Yeezy sources confirm to Rolling Stone. The sources describe it as ...

The stock market rally isn't real - here's what's going on

I have a friend who was part of a famous hip-hop group called "The Geto Boys." Back in the day, Willie D and his partners Scarface and Bushwick Bill had a famous song called "My Minds Playing Tricks on me." I thought about this song when I saw the stock market's unbelievable behavior this morning. Upon the release of a highly anticipated inflation report, the market collapsed, with the Dow dropping over 500 points in an instant. At that moment, I knew that my students and I would be in for a rou...

Kanye's Horror Game: Financial reasons why Kanye can't be canceled

#Kanye is now restricted from posting on Instagram (actually, he's not banned, but his last post has been up for a while because they won't let him post anymore) because the people who allegedly have no power has his account taken down. Will the Nick Cannon apology tour be next? What's also interesting about #Kanye is that he generates about $2 billion in sales for Adidas, which makes him about 12% of their annual revenue. So, Kanye's greatest strength is his ability to generate his own #BlackWe...

Kanye West says black people need Dr Claud Anderson and Powernomics

Hello, I hope you're doing well. I spoke today on my podcast about Kanye West mentioning Dr Claud Anderson today in reference to his belief that black people must rise above political party affiliations to improve the conditions of our community.

It's important that we work as hard as we can to popularize ideas that will benefit our people economically instead of continuously leaving us ...

Kanye West speaks with Tucker Carlson and it was interesting

Today Kanye West had an interview with Tucker Carlson on Fox News. I decided to address the conversation because I also had curiosity about why he chose to wear a "White Lives Matter" shirt this week. I also wanted to hear his perspective on a lot of issues because I am concerned about Kanye's mental health. Long story short, Kanye did an amazing job during this interview. He told powerful stories about his mother Donda West and how she kept him from his father. This appears to be driving the re...

Method Man won't tour with Wutang Clan because he has options

The rapper Method Man is legendary, largely due to the extraordinary work he did with a group called "The Wu Tang Clan." I took a moment to address some deep and interesting remarks that Method Man (aka Clifford Smith) made on social media regarding why he's chosen not to tour with the group any longer. In the brief discussion, Meth simply says, "I have options." This statement got my attention not only as a person who teaches Stock Options on a regular basis, but also because as black people co...
