In this insightful clip of Market Mondays, hosts Rashad Bilal and Ian Dunlap delve into the myths surrounding black people investing at a high level and the fear of a market crash. Rashad Bilal highlights a common sentiment he has encountered: some people believe that when black people invest heavily, it’s part of a plot to crash the stock market and leave them financially ruined. Ian Dunlap responds to this by acknowledging the distrust that many have towards financial markets and banks, but he dispels the notion that an intentional market crash would be orchestrated to exclude new black investors.

Ian emphasizes that while distrust might be warranted, the financial markets would not sabotage themselves as they need diverse participation for liquidity. Furthermore, he advises on strategic investing, suggesting that market corrections should be viewed as opportunities to buy rather than moments of panic. This episode not only breaks down misconceptions but also provides practical investment advice, aiming to empower all investors regardless of background.
