Trump Winks ... Then Blinks on Tariffs. Now What?
Investors focused on profits over politics will thrive during Trump’s second term.
If you blinked … you missed it.
Trump’s tariff tornado ripped through the markets.
Then it was over.
Today I’ll discuss where things stand, the mindset required under Trump 2.0 and the launch of Equity Empire paid service.
Let’s begin where things stand.
A 10% baseline tariff is in place across most goods and countries.
Higher “reciprocal” tariffs have been paused for 90 days for countries other than China.
China still faces a 125% tariff with some exceptions.
Even if a good is “exempt” from higher China tariffs, existing Section 301 tariffs (10-25%) apply.
This is no doubt confusing.
Even the Washington Post is having trouble knowing the facts.
This is the new normal.
Like it or not, Trump operates in a way that can make your head spin.
Do you want to know the cold hard truth?
Many investors won’t be able to handle it.
Nvidia went from $88 to $110 last week.
A rise of 25%.
But what were many investors doing?
Complaining on social media about how chaotic Trump’s tariffs have been.
Investors focused on profits over politics will thrive during Trump’s second term.
Investors who stay focused during Trump’s term will transform their finances.
Focusing more on technical charts than news flow is the easiest way to do this.
As I pointed out, Trump’s policies can create chaos and confusion.
That shows up on the technical charts.
From my experience …
It’s far easier to read a price chart than the policy coming out of the White House.
This week dozens of stocks I follow fell into what I call a “buying zone”.
I have a very modest trading account … mainly due to high state taxes.
But last week I made enough to pay my kids tuition next year.
If you lock in over the next few years - this can be you.
The choice is yours.
For Equity Empire subscribers I just sent a list of 7 stocks that are in buying zones.
For long term or short term investors - these are exciting times when stocks pull back.
On the small cap side - the drops have been more dramatic.
With Nvidia stock being down 17% this year.
Small cap suppliers are down even more.
This has reset the valuation of semiconductor stocks that are still poised to break higher.
Our small cap service has identified a semiconductor stock with 100% upside.
By next year its technology will be on all the major chips made by Nvidia, AMD and Broadcom.
A major tech stock is even buying shares.
For a limited time Early Bird subscribers of Equity Empire are getting access to our Blue Chip stock research AND our small cap service.
It’s common in the newsletter business to charge $2,000 or more for small cap research. (We had $15,000/year subscriptions when I worked at MarketWise).
Early Bird subscribers will get access to all our research at a price too low to advertise. If you’re ready to turbocharge your access to research, subscribe to Equity Empire today.
Lastly, just want to thank all of you for your support over the years.
From Seeking Alpha, to YouTube, MarketWise, and now being able to launch Equity Empire with an incredible team … it wouldn’t have happened without your support.
I truly believe the next 18 months will be the biggest opportunity to become financially free.
Free to buy your first home. Or a second.
Free to retire early. Or spend more time with your family.
Whatever your goal is, I hope to bring you closer to it.
