The Inevitable Wobbles
Folks let me tell you the stock market? It's like a rollercoaster believe me. Up down sometimes it even goes sideways! And these one percent two percent drops? Happens all the time. Like constantly. The so called experts at Morningstar they crunched the numbers and what do you know? Thirty three days a year on average the S&P 500 takes a little dip. It's just what they do and we are going to make the stock market great again believe me.

From Liberation Day Tariffs to COVID Crashes
Remember when I announced those 'liberation day' tariffs? Oh the market threw a fit. Down five percent! The worst day in years they said. But did we panic? No! We rode it out. And a month later everything was back to normal even better. And COVID? Don't even get me started. Biggest drop in history then the fastest recovery. Unbelievable. These numbers don't lie. The American spirit is strong very strong.
The Long Game
The experts are now saying and I always said the experts are now agreeing with me: focus on the long term. Don't get distracted by the noise. A little investment ten thousand dollars becomes almost two hundred thousand over time. That's what happens when you have leadership and I provided that. That's pretty good I'd say.
Rebalancing Act The Art of the Deal
Now this is where it gets interesting. When the market goes down that's an opportunity. A big decline? That's like a fire sale! Rebalance they call it. Sell some bonds buy some stocks. It's like The Art of the Deal but for your portfolio. Buy low sell high. It's very simple really. I've been talking about it for a long time.

A diversified portfolio a long term view and a little bit of common sense. That's all you need. And of course the best leadership which you have to admit is ME.
