This is the canary in the coal mine of how the global supply chain might lock up overnight with this trade war.
Can I just be blunt for a second?
The biggest sign was interest rates reaching all time highs. C'mon guys. You've had literally a year to sell. 5% interest on cash. It was such a massive red flag. Such an indicator to step back. Reevaluate the macro economic environment. After 2 decades of unrelenting quantitative easing. Why personally …
Your plans to navigate this market environment?
[NOT A FINANCIAL ADVICE] I sold off my US stocks right before trump set the tarrifs in place. I have a cash surplus and I do not know if I should spend it all now or buy some and wait later to see if prices drop lower. Some industries in …

This will blow over next week. Do not sell.
All it takes is one slight mention of tariffs being alleviated and you will see the biggest most glorious green candle witnessed in years. You don’t want miss that. The government won’t let things get much worse. Think about it. This is not 100 years ago. Companies are as powerful …
