Fear & Greed Index👇
Current read is 20 on the fear greed index vs 20 last week.
I feel that we are closer to 50 vs what this says, so in balance.
Market Fearful = Potential Opportunity/Deals.
Market Greedy = Potential Over Valuation.

Current Interest Rates👇
30 year fixed mortgage rate climbs to 6.71% Today vs 6.58% last Sunday.
10 year treasury bond yield climbs to 4.30% Today, vs 4.20% last Sunday.
2 year treasury bond yield climbs to 4.00% Today, vs 3.98% last Sunday.
Interest rates overall went up a little last week for many reasons.
The most important reason is because tariffs are potentially being viewed as inflationary.
Higher inflation = interest rates higher for longer.

The State of The Stock Market Right Now👇
The market has been crazy the last few weeks with the nasdaq now down over 10% for 2025. This officially marks correction territory. This has many people wondering… when will we bottom… I will give you my thoughts below.
Tariffs👇
So Trump is tossing around tariffs like they are hot cakes. Anyone that is “ripping” America off, they get a tariff till Trump gets what he wants. Do I agree with this? Well it depends, but the market for sure does not like it.
Many people see tariffs as inflationary and negative for economic growth, which I do agree with in the short term.
I’m optimistic that over the coming months, we will work out deals with other countries and end this tariff “war”
The markets will love that.
Check out this chart from Trumps first presidency vs his current and how the stock market performed…
Looks kinda similar

Economy👇
Recent economic data has been coming in mixed. Jobs data we got on Friday was actually decent even after factoring in the DOGE job cuts. But that was not good enough for many investors as they still worry that the uptick in unemployment will continue. Many CEOs are taking a wait and see approach because of tariff uncertainty and that’s sending ripples through the economy.
Federal Reserve👇
Jerome Powell at the fed recently said that the fed is also taking essentially a wait and see approach. He stated that the Jobs market is strong, and inflation continues to fall in a bumpy manner, which is expected. If inflation ticks higher, he can keep rates higher for longer. If inflation ticks lower, they can lower rates to help support the economy and avoid recession. Keep in mind, rates are 4.25% to 4.5% currently. If we slip into recession, the fed can very well lower rates to help support the economy. (just like they did during COVID) Go look at the charts during COVID to see how fast we recovered once the fed started the money printer and dropped rates to zero.

US & Ukraine Relations👇
Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky have been going back and forth with a minerals deal that could potentially grant Ukraine protections from Russia. At the end of the day, I would like to see Trump, Putin, & Zelenskyy get in a room together and each this out. Nobody is winning the war, and I am optimistic this will be ended soon. The market will like that, but the whale right now is tariffs.
Market Volatility👇
Lots of people panicking after 2 back to back 20% years for the market. Maybe some profit taking, maybe just some panicking for no reason. It does seem like there is a bunch of chickens with their heads cut off right now out there. Everyone was a genius in the bull market the last 2 years, but now that things are dipping, most of the robin hood meme boys are gone. GOOD!
Be an investor, not a speculator.
Market Valuation👇
S&P 500's forward (P/E) ratio stands at 20.8, significantly above the historical average of approximately 16. This elevated ratio suggests that the market is currently overvalued compared to historical norms.
Check out the forward PE ratio chart below of the Mag 8 stocks (pink) & the SP500 (red).
You can see, PEs are coming down, and this is good!
The 2 main factors for this are: 1. The market is falling, 2. Earnings are increasing.
So this is “double good” for the market because the market is becoming cheaper from both a stock price standpoint and & earnings standpoint.
Lots of AI growth is being priced in, and time will tell if we reap the rewards from that!

My Overall Take👇
Economy is slowing a little.
Trump is stirring the pot.
Inflation is falling.
Rates are trending down slowly (good for stocks)
Bonds & Stocks compete with each other.
As bond yields fall, stocks become more attractive.
Ai demand is strong based on earnings calls and guidance from Nvidia, TSM, Google, Tesla, SMCI, Dell, Marvell, Broadcom, ect… (yes, I read every word on the reports and listen to all the calls)
Tariffs are a threat.
Valuations are a little lofty but coming back into a better balance.
Market dip is healthy & needed.
Time in the market > timing the market.
I have about $1m in margin buying power ready to go if we dip lower.
I stay invested and keep cash pile low.
Build the base of your portfolio.
Use options on high confidence plays to magnify returns.
Yes, there is A LOT of opportunity out there right now.
The question is, are you going to capitalize.
Or are you going to sit on your hands…
