Please note: we recorded this week’s episode on Monday, February 10. Last week, we saw Trump impose tariffs on Canada and Mexico. In the last week, those tariffs have been deferred for a month; as of this week, tariffs on Chinese goods are in effect. Linda examines why Trump is imposing these tariffs, and how they might effect our economy and on our stock marketing and our investments. Linda also takes a look at the history of tariffs, and their impact on the national debt, and examines the latest round of Trump’s tariffs on steel and aluminum. Things look rosy now, but the fallout may negatively impact the stock market. Hold on to your profile, and don’t make any big moves. There are so many ways to make the stock market work for you as you gain more experience as an investor. If you have questions about different kinds of investing, please reach out!

Please note: we recorded this week’s episode on Monday, February 3. Today, Linda is explaining how Trump’s trade war with Canada and Mexico is affecting the stock market and the economy. The Dow, the SMP500, and the NASDAQ have all seen swings and drops following the announcement of the tariffs–and the stock market will continue to oscillate due to the instability of the news cycle. Economists are concerned about the possibility of an upcoming recession, due to the potential instability of the GDP, and upcoming contractions in American imports and exports. So, what do we do when things get unstable? We stay put! No sudden moves in your portfolio! There are so many ways to make the stock market work for you as you gain more experience as an investor.
