It will balance off. It always does. Once the tariffs happen, then stock market will trend down.

This is why it is much better to be a long-term buy and hold investor. Focus on defining your allocation percentages and use that as a guideline instead of trying to time the market.

If the markets are taking off and your cash allocation percentage is getting lower than it should be, then add to cash. If the market takes a dive, then add capital to your equities that are out of balance.

Very simple and proven approach that works in all market conditions and all political environments.

Bob has taught us that the market always appears to go up.

Trump's history in business! Six bankruptcies and 16 business failures!

[boondoggle]

So Trump intends to create a bubble with a lot of cheap money which isn’t good for anyone in the long term. Also, the stock market has been hitting all time highs all year so it has nothing to do with Trump.

All these charts are just a headache, try elizzarda instead.

Yeah it will goose the market, increase spending and debt, both personal and national. The real fear is WHEN does it normalize or worse crash.

Didn't the main reason we saw more on our check after the tax cuts went into effect in 2017 was because the taxes were just deferred? Mean at the end of the year we had to catch up on those taxes?

Thanks for the Schwab study! Helps with indecision of when to buy!

[matthewdavis]

I’m actually curious how international funds will do in the next several years. My instinct is it could outperform but who knows?

[marywest]

Great info... Thank you for the video 👍

[joerapp]

Stock market will continue to go up for the rest of 2024 then early 2025 we will see a correction

[BachataDeVerdad]

Stocks were surging even before the election. You make is sound as if the stock market is high just because of the election.

Your thoughts for SUi? Could be the next ETH?

[ChrizardsAdventures]

Small caps did great last time. But these tarriffs and deportation will sink the gdp 10% America is gonna see some turmoil.

[alvadagansta]

Lmfao you’re using 2016 as the basis your analysis? Almost NOTHING is the same as 2016. Inflation is different. PE ratio is different. Interest rate is different. Bond yield curve is different. Literally the only similarity is Trump.

If you’re using that alone as your basis of analysis, then you are basing your entire analysis on politics. You know that, right? Think. Please.

Why do you have a empty ipad case? 😅 Loved the video btw!

[JustFC]

Hell yea, a lot of money coming in after the election! Love your stuff!!!

It has been hitting all time highs for the last couple of years. It will become volatile like it was 2016 to 2022.

[farab]

Why do people always tend to panic about market volatility. That’s exactly what you need for a managed fund to grow. Ride on the up and jump on the down. If you were buying individual stock it might be a problem, but people stopped doing that decades ago, didn’t they???
