Stock Market Bloodbath! Is Your Retirement Doomed?!

Tariffs? More Like Landmines!

They say the U.S. markets are taking a beating because of these new tariff policies. Tariffs schmarrifs! Sounds like another excuse to mess with the little guy. I've seen landmines in Vietnam that were less destructive. But hey what do I know? I just patch myself up and keep fighting. This professor Statman he says making decisions now is dangerous unless you can see the future. Son if I could see the future I wouldn't be dodging bullets I'd be counting my millions. "To survive a war you gotta become war." And to survive this market you gotta become the market... or maybe just hold steady.

Recession? I've Seen Worse in the Jungle!

J.P. Morgan is raising the chances of a recession. Recession? I've faced down entire armies! A little economic downturn ain't gonna scare me. This Klontz guy talks about 'herd instinct' and running towards safety. In the jungle running gets you killed. You gotta stand your ground assess the situation and maybe... just maybe... find a better hiding spot. He says never trust your instincts when investing? Tell that to the enemy when I'm sneaking through the brush!

Fight or Flight? More Like Freeze!

Another expert Labotka is talking about 'fight or flight.' Says investors are in panic mode. Well no duh! But acting fast? That's how you end up with a knife in your back. Slow down think things through. Just like stalking prey you gotta be patient methodical. "Living isn't dying."

Have We Learned Nothing?!

They say we've been through market drops before. Covid the 2008 crisis the dot com bust... each time it feels different. Yeah because each time there's a new way to screw us over! But here's the thing: why are you investing in the first place? Has that changed? If not then maybe... just maybe... you should stick to your guns.

Values and Goals My Only Allies

Labotka says your values and goals haven't changed. That's right! I fight for what I believe in. I invest in... well I don't invest but if I did I'd invest in freedom. I always had faith in myself in my friends. Nothing is over! You just don't turn it off!

Perfection is the Enemy!

This Statman guy says things are never perfect. Preach! If I waited for the perfect moment I'd still be stuck in that prison camp. You gotta learn to live with the good and the bad. Because out here in this jungle... nothing is easy. But that doesn't mean you give up. "They drew first blood not me."
