Fortune and Glory Stocks Plunge Amidst Tariff Tantrums Indiana Jones Investigates!

Nazis I Mean Tariffs Why Did It Have to be Tariffs?!

Snakes. Why did it have to be snakes? Actually scratch that. Tariffs. Why did it have to be tariffs? Seems even the U.S. Secretary of Commerce is stirring up trouble launching an investigation into pharmaceuticals under the Trade Expansion Act. They're worried about national security you see. National security! As if those drug companies aren't already making a killing. Looks like Pfizer Amgen Eli Lilly Merck and Moderna are already feeling the pinch since those 'reciprocal' tariffs were announced back on April 2nd. "It belongs in a museum!" Well maybe not but this could get ugly.

Ford Dodge and Toyota Oh My! Trump's Automotive Antics

President Trump bless his heart wants to 'help some of the car companies.' He's talking about tariffs on auto parts made in Canada Mexico and other places. Sounds like a distraction to me. Ford General Motors Stellantis Honda and Toyota are all over the place and Ford is down 35% from its 52 week high. "We're talking about the future of the world here!" More like the future of the automotive industry but same difference right? Just don't let Short Round drive.

Banks on the Brink! Another Plunge?

Ah banks. Always a gamble aren't they? Bank of America Citigroup and PNC Financial are all taking a beating lately. Looks like CNBC's banking reporter Leslie Picker is going to have her hands full sorting out this mess. Let's hope they don't end up like that greedy fella in 'Raiders' who aged about 100 years in 2 minutes from opening the Ark! "Bad dates!" I have a feeling many bankers are saying the same about the last few months.

Airlines in Turbulence! Buy or Sell?

United Airlines is down nearly 40% in three months. Ouch. "Mad Money" man Jim Cramer is advising investors to steer clear of American Airlines but thinks Delta is a better bet. So should you take the leap of faith into this chasm of financial doom? Or perhaps find another route to your destination? As my father would say "This is intolerable!"

Tech and Payment Stocks: The Holy Grail?

Apple's up 11.6% in the past week payment stocks like ADP Paychex Visa American Express Block Affirm Mastercard Global Payments and PayPal are showing signs of life. It seems some folks at JPMorgan think these companies are well positioned to weather the tariff storm. So maybe there's some treasure to be found after all! "X never ever marks the spot!" Except maybe it does this time? Always a risk...

The Dollar Takes a Dive! Global Economics Unveiled

The U.S. dollar index hit a three year low folks. Janet Yellen says investors are starting to shun dollar based assets. CNBC contributor Tom Lee thinks 'U.S. exceptionalism is over!' Citigroup sees 'cracks in the U.S. exceptionalism story.' So is this the end of the world as we know it? Probably not. But it might be time to brush up on your economics and maybe invest in some good old fashioned gold. "I hate these guys!" Especially when they mess with my fortune.
