Send it my way. I’ll get you into some Chinese pink sheets and 1.15% CDs at the local credit union.

But seriously, if your moving to ET, I put my mom with a group that’s great. She’s super happy with their attentiveness and structure. I will likely do the same when I retire.

Honestly I think this is it @SpaceCoastVol find a manager that listens to you, calls you back, and actually folds your wishes into their back of house investment models.

Nobody you are talking to face to face actually invests your money or researches what bonds or ETFs to use. But they do guide inputs on what happens on the back side where your money is invested.

Also “wealth management” is more full service than a financial advisor. My manager made sure we had all of our legal documents up to date and has copies in their vault. If anything happens to me one of the first calls my wife makes is to our manager.

It'll be a cold take by then.

90 more days of market uncertainty. That's cool.

Markets, by their very nature, are uncertain.

If they weren't, everyone would have sold before the dip a few weeks ago, and bought in the dip to make tons of money. Heck, we'd all have bought Apple, Amazon, or Google on the cheap and everyone would be millionaires.

What would we do without this wisdom? Thank you for chiming in so I can tell you that regardless, more uncertainty than what's naturally present is of course bad.

The elevated "uncertainty" of the last few weeks hasn't hurt me a bit; in fact, it has helped me in the long run. I could buy low.

Another tip: The more uncertainty there is in the market, the more opportunity there is for wise investors. As an example, people who bought the dip are making a killing right now. So much so that now there are those complaining that Trump caused the uncertainty to further enrich himself and his "cronies." Had they realized what was really happening, and taken advantage of it, they'd be eating well tonight.

But you would rather cut and paste screenshots of AI generated google searches and twitter posts bashing the administration than turn circumstances to your advantage.

Carry on, Huff, carry on.

We are blessed we have the Trump recovery of April 9 after we had the Biden dip of April 2… apparently caused by the Trump tariffs of April 2… which have been rescinded for now after achieving… <checks notes>… nothing but unnecessary market volatility.🤷‍♂️

trade talks by nature mean some uncertainty. we may end up in a better place and the uncertainty will have been worth it. we may end up in the same or worse place and it will have been a mistake.

That smells of an end justifies the means take. If you’re specifically referencing US China ok I have no problem going after them. However I’ve yet to see any valid reason to go after the entire world and I still can’t find anything stating what the penguins on Heard and Marshall Islands did to draw Trump’s ire.
