Trump's Tariffs Tanking Stocks?! Is It Time To Buy Like Mike Would?

Is This the End Game?!

Alright alright settle down everyone. I see you all panicking about these tariffs Trump's throwing around like I used to throw down dunks. The S&P 500 is taking a beating and folks are whispering 'bear market.' Nineteen percent down from its high? That's rough even for a rookie. But let me tell you something pressure makes diamonds and downturns make millionaires. Don't tell me you're scared of a little turbulence? I've faced tougher defenders than the Dow Jones!

The Retaliation Game

So China's firing back with their own tariffs huh? Sounds like a little one on one action. But a trade war? That's a team game gone wrong. If the global economy slows down everyone feels the pain even yours truly. Inflation creeping up? That's like fouling out in the first quarter – you're handicapping yourself. This Smoot Hawley Tariff Act they're comparing it to? Sounds like a scrub I'd posterize back in the day! But hey even MJ had to deal with tough opponents. It's all about how you respond.

Perspective is Key

Look at the big picture people! This chart shows all the market's tantrums since 1928. The Great Depression? Just a little dip on the radar. The market always bounces back like me after a tough loss. Remember when the Bulls lost to the Pistons three years in a row? We came back stronger. This is a marathon not a sprint and the last time I checked I'm built for that kind of game.

Buying Opportunity? I'm All In!

Scott Helfstein says when things are down 20% that’s when you buy at a discount. Sounds like a steal to me. It's like getting a limited edition pair of Jordans on clearance! Everybody wants a good entry point and this is it. Don’t be afraid to invest when others are running scared. That's how you create your own dynasty. As I always say 'Talent wins games but teamwork and intelligence wins championships.' Time to assemble your financial championship team.

Bounce Back Like MJ

Yeah it doesn't feel good throwing money into a pit but markets bounce back baby! Faster than you can say 'Space Jam'! Historically corrections are common and bear markets don't last forever. This article says new peaks appear in an average of 23 months! I've been back on top faster than that! So long term investors this is your time to shine. Load up the portfolio and get ready for the comeback!

Long Term Game People!

Retirement might be decades away for you young bucks. A few bad years? That's nothing! Keep buying through the dips and you'll be sitting pretty when you’re sipping piña coladas on a yacht (or maybe owning the yacht!). The worst markets will look like a tiny blip on your success story. So don't panic. Stay focused. And remember 'You have to expect things of yourself before you can do them.' Now go out there and make some money!
