This thing is up 300 then down 500 then back up... this roller coaster ride is making a ninja nervous. Any insight from the MT experts? I’m still shoveling cash in but starting to rethink it.

We finally are starting to have normalization of volatility.

Go by percentage not points. Historically normal volatility is an average intra-day move of 1.5%.

Buy when it is about to go up and sell when it is about to go down.

I'm not so sure the tariffs would be a driver of a broad market sell off. I'm guessing it's mostly driven by the Fed unwinding their balance sheet. Any thoughts on this?

It’s def geopolitical risk driving it.

We went into this year with every economist telling us they were cautiously optimistic expecting double digit returns in the market this year, yet 2 things could disrupt it and cause a recession.

1) inflation spiking more than expected and the Fed freaking out (still haven’t seen data pointing towards an abnormal increase)
2) Trump causing a trade war

Not saying we are going into a trade war but the uncertainty of what’s going to happen next is causing the current fear.

It was the tariffs and threat of trade wars/retaliation. It was a pretty much unexpected announcement, that surprised many Republicans and the market. Many are unhappy with this plan, and I wonder if Trump actually follows through on it... But overall, no big deal for this market.

How about some discussion over how investors can benefit from these tariffs?

Too soon to weigh in on individual stocks without specifics on the proposed tariffs?
