April 28, 2025 – Markets rallied as the Trump Administration suggested tariffs might be reduced against China and that ongoing negotiations with almost 100 countries are progressing, although no deals have yet to be announced. But even with tariff reductions, the headwind will still likely be the greatest in a century. So far, the impact is hard to measure as few tariffed goods have reached our shores. Early Q1 earnings reports show little impact through March, although managements have been loath to predict their ultimate impact. Stocks are likely to stay within a trading range until there is greater clarity regarding the impact of tariffs.

Finally, we had a good week in the stock market. After a rocky Monday, when investors fretted over possible consequences should Trump attempt to fire Jerome Powell, equities rallied over…

April 24, 2025 – “Headache” is the official Journal of the American Headache Society. Europe and Asia have their own publications and consortia devoted to the study of headaches and pain. The incidence of headaches may have increased for those following the stock market gyrations over the past few months, though resolution of tariff issues would go a long way toward calming markets down. Eventually. Near-term impacts on inflation and the economy may create some pain points and additional volatility if consumers and businesses retrench.

Pain Points Swelling There are several medical journals devoted to the study of headaches and pain. “Headache” is the official Journal of the American Headache Society. The “Journal of Headache…

April 21, 2025 – Tariffs raise barriers that make imports less desirable. They serve to reduce the balance of payments. But by protecting local producers of higher cost goods, they are inflationary. The attendant decline in the value of the dollar chases investment capital away, capital necessary if reshoring of manufacturing is going to be achieved. The goal of the Trump administration should be to find the balance that favors U.S. manufacturers but retains investment capital within our borders. So far, markets suggest that dilemma hasn’t been resolved.

Trying to distill policy to its essence, the Trump economic game plan is to eliminate the trade deficit on goods while bringing manufacturing back to the United States. The two…

April 17, 2025 – The Trump administration’s trade and tariff plans aim to improve trade for American businesses, primarily through the use of tariffs. However, initial market reactions have been contrary to expectations, with a weaker dollar and rising interest rates creating economic uncertainty. Investors should brace for potential recession and stagflation risks with balanced portfolios and a patient approach to future investment opportunities.

April 14, 2025 – The tariff roller coaster ride continues as Trump exempts some tech products made in China from tariffs but warns that secular tariffs on semiconductors are likely soon. While bond yields this morning are slightly lower, the dollar continues to weaken as the world continues to adjust to economic chaos in this country. While the tariff extremes of Liberation Day may be reduced over the next several months, they still appear likely to be the highest in close to a century, a clear tax on the U.S. economy. Wall Street’s mood can change daily depending on the tariff announcement du jour but until markets can determine a rational logic behind the Trump economic game plan, volatility will remain elevated.

Trade deficits occur due to comparative advantage. For whatever reason, one party can produce a product at a lower cost than its trading partner. Maybe wages are lower in the…

April 9, 2025 – In a storm, the best advice is to hunker down and stay as safe as you can. Markets are screaming and all the news at the moment is bad. Despite Trump’s efforts to draw capital to the U.S., it is leaving. No one likes uncertainty. What’s happening today will force changes to a hastily implemented policy. But until we know what the changes are, hunker down, stay liquid and don’t overreact.

“What do we do now?” After yesterday’s wild ride, the question is voiced even louder. Yesterday proved that whatever people thought they knew, they didn’t. Here’s what we know, or…

April 7, 2025 – What a week! Judging from markets overseas, the rough ride will continue when markets open today. While some reaction or rationalization of tariffs announced last week is likely to be forthcoming, investors fear the worst right now and are seeking safety until clarity improves. While it may be tempting to bargain hunt, perhaps in hopes that Trump will moderate the level of tariffs as countries offer appeasement, stock markets don’t rise simply on hope and dreams. Valuations, despite last week’s carnage, still aren’t low historically although there are bargains and more will appear if the decline continues at last week’s pace for much longer.

The VIX is a commonly noted index that measures fear and anxiety. It is based on option premiums, the thought being that higher premiums denote greater expected volatility. In this…

April 3, 2025 – President Trump’s surprise tariff announcement has triggered significant market volatility, escalated trade war fears, and prompted analysts to revise down corporate earnings forecasts. Consumer confidence is also waning, with concerns about economic prospects compounding the uncertainty caused by the new tariffs. Despite this, long-term investors should focus on the potential opportunities arising from market corrections, maintaining a balanced and diversified portfolio to navigate the anticipated volatility.

Tariff announcement spooks investors After the market closed yesterday, President Trump announced sweeping tariffs which triggered a sharp decline in U.S. stock markets. The proposed tariffs, with a baseline of…

March 31, 2025 – Don’t lose sight of the core game plan, to reduce the Federal deficit through a combination of tariffs, a reduction in the Federal bureaucracy, and tax reform. The conflict today, is that the tariff pain happens now while tax benefits come later. The mismatch roils markets. April will see a crescendo of tariff news, economic data that probably projects lower growth this year, and a likely reduction of earnings expectations as companies report first quarter results in a couple of weeks. Keeping cash reserves for now seems to be a prudent posture.

It’s been a tough month for stocks. Assuming no change today, it will be the worst month for equities since 2022. Consumers are in a foul mood as measured by…
