• Trump Tariffs may put some heat on the economy.

• More on this below.

Fear & Greed Index For Today👇

• I feel that we are closer to 60 vs what this says, so a tad greedy.

• Always keep your emotions in check on pumps & dumps!

• Short term market movements are usually irrelevant.

Trumps Tariffs👇

Trump Threatens 25% Tariffs on Mexico & Canada Imports effective February 1, 2025, unless both countries take action against fentanyl trafficking and illegal immigration.

Key Takeaways👇

• Trade Impact: The tariffs will target a broad range of goods, including oil and automotive parts.

• Market Reaction: Gold prices hit record highs as investors brace for economic disruption.

• Political Response: Mexico’s government downplays the threat, expecting a diplomatic resolution.

• Economic Implications: U.S. auto and energy sectors could face increased costs, while Trump’s nominee for Commerce Secretary suggests the tariffs could be temporary or avoidable.

• This potential policy shift could have major implications for trade and inflation, making it a key issue to watch!

So What Does This Mean?👇

• If these tariffs actually happen, it’s a big deal for trade, inflation, and the markets.

• A 25% tariff on Mexico and Canada means higher costs for oil, cars, and other imports, which could trickle down to consumers.

• For investors, this could shake up sectors like energy and automotive.

• Some companies will absorb the costs, while others pass them onto consumers.

• Gold just hit a record high, which tells you investors are already nervous.

• On the political side, Mexico isn’t taking the threat seriously, and Trump’s team is saying the tariffs are negotiable—so this could just be a leverage play.

• Either way, it’s something to watch because markets hate uncertainty.

What Happened Last Time?👇

• During Trump’s first term, he imposed tariffs on China, triggering a trade war.

• The stock market was volatile, with major sell-offs in 2018 when tensions escalated.

• Sectors like tech and industrials got hit the hardest.

• However, once trade negotiations improved, the market rebounded hard, with the S&P 500 gaining over 28% in 2019.

• This shows that while tariffs can cause short-term panic, markets adapt—especially if the Fed steps in.

• If these Mexico/Canada tariffs go through, expect initial volatility but also opportunities, depending on how businesses and policymakers react.

Current Thoughts In My Head👇

• Day to day stock price changes don’t matter.

• Be an investor zoom out and be patient.

• Day to day movements don’t matter

• The market feels a bit stretched—probably about 5-10% above intrinsic value.

• Trump seems committed to keeping the economy strong and driving inflation down, which could provide stability if it actually pans out.

• Earnings have been solid so far, which is exactly what’s needed to justify current stock valuations.

• I’m not calling this a bubble, but let’s be real—things are a little frothy.

• As always, be prepared for any scenario.

• I’m an investor, not a speculator.

Words To Live By👇

• Do not make plays to make plays.

• ONLY make high margin of safety plays.

• Do not buy something just cause the share price is going up

• Continue to DCA into quality stocks/ETFs at good prices.

• When you find undervalued companies, use options to magnify gains

• That is over a 10x in 7 years!

• I did this in a very low risk and conservative way.

• I feel the market is a little stretched & volatility is healthy and normal!

• If bond yields continue to climb, I expect pain in the markets to continue.

• I will continue to find great investments / options plays that will pan out to explode the portfolio in the long run.

• Month to month and even year to year volatility is irrelevant.

• I see volatility as opportunity!

• My goal is $5,000,000 in this account by 2030.

• I see this as very achievable and if the market dips further, I will capitalize heavily, just like I did in 2022!

• Stay the course and keep your emotions in check!
