AirBNB's IPO is an overpriced monstrocity that I wouldn't buy if you paid me 10.12.2020

AirBNB had an ipo in which its stock price shot through the roof, rising over 100% in the first day.  Most of the rise in the value of AirBNB stock is driven by uninformed investors who buy stock as if they are buying designer luxury clothes.   Overpaying for AirBNB stock only makes sense if you truly believe there is another sucker who will buy the stock at a higher price.  &n...

Should I buy into the Air BNB IPO or not? 09.12.2020

I want to lay out some thoughts about the AirBNB IPO, set to occur this week.  My personal belief is that AirBNB has a very solid business model that is well positioned for long-term economic growth.   But the greater question about the AirBNB IPO is whether the stock is overpriced.  That's something yet to be determined.   To see the other stocks I'm selecting in my...

Dating consultant tells a woman that she's "average at best" and will "die alone" 07.12.2020

Dating consultant Kevin Samuels has been the center of attention this week for telling a woman on the air that she is "average at best" and would "die alone."   In a recent survey that I took on my twitter account, 51% of respondents felt that the advice was harsh, but honest.  Others felt that it was mean.  Our All Black Intellectual Chocolate Panel is here to discuss the issu...

Youtube suspended my channel for supporting Louis Farrakhan 01.12.2020

One of my youtube channels, Your Black World TV, was just suspended because I showed support to the address of Min Louis Farrakhan. I use this as an opportunity to address the racism of social media platforms that seek to destroy authentic black leadership, labeling solution-oriented, honest dialogue as "hate speech."  This treatment and systemic dismissal of beloved black men like Louis Farr...

Tesla has created a $100 billion dollar problem for the stock market 30.11.2020

The Jake Paul Vs Nate Robinson fight created a Great White Hope 29.11.2020

I watched that fight between Jake Paul and Nate Robinson and honestly found myself stunned.  Let's be honest though - many people see the Nate Robinson vs Jake Paul fight as a statement on race or Aryan Supremacy.    Jake Paul might be the Great White Hope, but obviously, this is just an exhibition fight between two amateurs.  Nothing to be taken seriously.  jake paul...

Why I love Amazon Stock for the holidays 28.11.2020

I speak today on The Black Financial Channel regarding why Amazon is one of my favorite stocks for the holiday season.  The company's investments in infrastructure and the bold way they handled the crisis should play well for them.  Amazon also has a huge advantage in an environment where a large amount of #BlackFriday shopping is going to occur online.  If you'd like to learn more...

Jeezy, Gucci Mane, Verzuz Battles and Stacey Abrams - Black people vs the Trap 21.11.2020

In the latest #Verzuz battle, #Jeezy and #Gucci got together to compare their popular hit songs.   That's all cool, and they are both talented, but I wanted to talk about "The Trap" and why trap music is so relatable to so many of our people.   Also, the fact that Stacey Abrams popped in speaks volumes about the extent to which politicians enjoy keeping black men in the trap. &...
