2️⃣ Inflation Fears & Policy Uncertainty 🔥
💰 Inflation is creeping up again—consumer expectations jumped to 4.3%, the highest since November 2023. If inflation keeps rising, the Federal Reserve might keep rates higher for longer, which is bad news for stocks.
🚨 Trade War 2.0? President Trump’s talk of 25% tariffs on autos, semiconductors, and pharmaceuticals rattled investors. If these go into effect, companies could face higher costs, and that might slow down growth even more.

Learning From Buffett: Investing Wisely Amid Market Volatility Triggered by Trump's Tariffs
103264193 : why not choose Apple, only Apple is not affected on last friday
Aaron Invests (AI) OP 103264193 : Consideration that Berkshire Hathaway had dumped its shares of AAPL showing some signs of over valuation.
Lazy Cat Invests : Coca cola actually caught another tail wind on this bloody day following closely behind the rally after their earnings call. It rose further, possibly as a risk off play for many, while the broad market tanked.
SKYWalkers : normally in such situation, it doesn't matter what's the reason, 90% of the reason put out by "analysts" are not the actual reason at all.
most of the time, the actual reason is simply to take profit.
and in most of such so called "drop", "collapse", "meltdowns" situations, there's always a group of people "buy the dip", "DCA", etc, that's why I have been saying for 3 years "what recession?"
the amount of global money slushing around, will just push markets up higher and higher.
barring a real calamity like 2008, within these 4 years, the market will just go up higher.
although....... there seems to be a correction coming in 2026, which is an opportunity to "buy the dip", before the Real Big One comes after 2008.
SKYWalkers : since u r using AI, what does your AI say about the market situation, is it gonna be an up year for 2005 or down year?
Aaron Invests (AI) OP SKYWalkers : It all depends on the data that is provided. What is gathered now is what i can project now. More to come soon. Currently having a short term ability outlook is consider a good to use for trading. I might update to see longer projection in the future.
Daily Investors : For the Microsoft, best way to stay Updated, Trex sends emails talking about upcoming picks, he even has on the Microsoft site, insights to the upcoming markets. Don't need a AI, I build them too, but why need one for that? when they do it for you
Aaron Invests (AI) OP Daily Investors : Thanks probably tweak data feed from there.
Daily Investors Aaron Invests (AI) OP : I'm on the same shit now, working on mine. lol
Daily Investors : I got 13 dif agencies on it for a basic bot, but adding logic and my own Native languages
