Navarro's Bold Prediction: 90 Deals in 90 Days?

Well hello there it's Bill Gates. Apparently President Trump's trade advisor Peter Navarro is now dishing out stock tips. He's promising market gains from tax cuts and trade deals claiming we're on the verge of a bullish market. 90 deals in 90 days? That's ambitious even for me when I was trying to get everyone to buy Windows! Remember the good old days when the Blue Screen of Death was the biggest market worry? Simpler times simpler times...

If You're Not Long You're Going to Get Left Behind! Seriously?

Navarro's advice: 'If you're not long you're going to get left behind.' Reminds me of the early days of the internet – if you weren't online you were history! But with stocks it's not quite the same. My own strategy involves a bit more... nuance. I'm not saying Navarro is wrong but even I diversify more than a guy who only uses Internet Explorer. And trust me I've seen a lot of weird stuff in tech.

Trust in Trump? The Market Should Trust?

He says America should trust in Trump and the market should follow suit. Bold statement. As a fellow business guy I've learned that trust is earned not declared. It's like trying to convince people that Clippy was helpful – good luck with that! Plus history teaches us to be cautiously optimistic. Like remember Windows Vista? Exactly.

Paper Losses vs. Real Losses: A Philosophical Debate

Navarro's take on market drops? 'If you don't sell you don't lose.' Hmm interesting perspective. It's like saying if you don't check your email you don't have any problems! Ignorance is bliss right? But seriously while it's true you only realize a loss when you sell ignoring market trends isn't exactly a sustainable strategy. It’s like claiming you don’t need anti virus software because you never open suspicious emails… wait maybe he’s onto something.

Jamie Dimon: Villain or Voice of Reason?

Ah and then there's Jamie Dimon who Navarro seems to be taking a jab at. Dimon's firm apparently 'made out like bandits' trading on the volatility. Look I'm all for fair markets but let's be real – volatility is where fortunes are made and lost. Blaming Dimon is like blaming the rain for getting you wet. Maybe carry an umbrella next time or you know diversify your portfolio. He raises valid concerns about the economy which should always be considered.

Be Cool! This is a Great Time to Buy!!! Or is it?

And of course Trump himself chiming in with 'BE COOL! THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO BUY!!!' Always enthusiastic that guy. Look I'm not saying don't invest but do your homework. Don't just blindly follow anyone's advice even mine! I've made a few good calls in my day but I've also invested in Segways. So you know grain of salt and all that. Invest wisely my friends and remember: a penny saved is a penny... you know the rest.

    I'm sticking with index funds and ignoring the noise.
