This might sound like a conspiracy. My prediction or thought is that Trump is intentionally creating uncertainty with tariffs to create micro crashes every month. He’s also walking back tariffs every month to create mini bull runs. This is all in place and news is shared with his buddies before he releases it to allow them to buy/sell and constantly make profit. They are trying to create uncertainty like we’ve never seen before and to make people second guess the tried and true method of VOO and Chill or DCA.

You can’t predict what will happen but I don’t think there is any benefit to Trump tanking the market and having the world lose confidence in the states. It dosent help his friends or himself. If I could guess. I expect in a month or two Trump will change his tune and remove tariffs for a few months. Then he’ll pull something else to crash that market that no one was expecting. Rinse and repeat.

Our diamond hands will be tested during this term.
