If we think about it, nothing fundamentally has changed. It is just a pause, and if anything, the Chinese tariffs are even worse than before. Is there some belief that this signals that Trump will back off the tariff/trade wars all-together? To me, it seems just like a panic move …

Anyone else have (accidental) impeccable market timing?
I would never try to time the market. However, I completely by accident limited almost all my YTD 2025 losses. At the end of 2024, I had 100% world stock portfolio. Thinking that my particular industry was having difficulties and I may lose my job, I moved 20% into bonds …
