Peter Griffin analyzes the S&P 500's wild ride, from Trump's trade deal boost to near pre-election levels, proving timing the market is harder than explaining the plot of 'Lost' to Brian.

Holy Crap! The Market's Back Baby!

Alright folks gather 'round! Peter Griffin here your financial guru – well maybe not 'guru' like that weird guy at the Renaissance fair but I know a thing or two about dough. So apparently after President Trump announced a U.K. trade deal the S&P 500 shot up faster than I can eat a bucket of fried chicken! We're talking its highest level since March almost making up for that time I invested all our savings in 'Petercopter' stock. Giggity!

Faster than Peter Griffin's Attempts to Win Lois Back

Now it ain't all gravy fries see? The market lost a bit of steam kinda like when I try to run a marathon after eating a whole pizza. But get this: the S&P 500 is only about 2% below where it was before the election! It's like that time I almost won the Quahog Hot Dog Eating Contest – I choked at the last minute but hey almost counts! And the future looks bright maybe as bright as the time I wore those reflective pants to the disco.

Timing the Market? Fuhgeddaboudit!

Here's the deal folks: trying to time the market is harder than understanding why Meg keeps trying to be popular. One minute everyone's all 'Trump's gonna make us rich!' Then BAM! The market tanks like I do when I try to do a backflip. It's like trying to predict what Stewie's gonna invent next – one day it's a shrink ray the next it's a device that makes fart noises louder. You just never know! So remember don't go selling everything one day and buying everything the next unless you want to end up like Quagmire after a bad date – alone and confused. Giggity Giggity Goo!

Trump's Tariff Tango: One Step Forward Two Steps Back?

So the Prez started easing up on those tariffs kinda like how I ease up on the gas pedal when Lois is yelling at me. He paused the worst of 'em and even gave electronics a break which is good because I need my phone to watch cat videos. But then he starts hinting at new tariffs like those pharma ones. It's enough to give you whiplash especially if you're as coordinated as Cleveland Brown on roller skates! This whole thing reminds me of that time I tried to learn the tango with Death – let's just say it didn't end well.

Cramer's Corner: Even He's Confused!

Even Jim Cramer the guy who yells about stocks on TV was hedging his bets! He sold some stuff probably to buy more hair gel. But here's the thing: nobody's perfect not even me! (Okay maybe me a little bit.) Trying to time the market is like trying to catch a greased up deaf guy – you might get lucky but most of the time you're just gonna end up covered in grease and disappointment. So take it from Peter Griffin: invest responsibly and maybe buy some beer while you're at it. Giggity!

Remember Kids: Don't Be a Herbert!

So the moral of the story is: don't be a Herbert! Don't go chasing market highs and lows like some pervert chasing after young boys I mean... don't be rash! Stick to a plan do your research and maybe consult a professional… or just ask me! And always remember life is like a box of chocolates… filled with opportunities to make bad decisions! Giggity. Remember to only take advice from reputable sources and not some fat slob on TV.
