  • Summary

  • Tariffs are now on PAUSE! And just like that, the stock market is flying back up again. Is this a signal for us all to breathe a sigh of relief, or is more market volatility coming our way? It’s been a wild week so far, and it’s only Thursday! Just yesterday, President Trump paused new reciprocal tariffs on dozens of countries, with markets slingshotting back up as a response. So, are we doing anything different with our investments now that things are slightly more stable? We’ve got Amberly, Mindy, and Scott (with a mustache!) on the show to discuss how these new tariff pauses have affected their investments, portfolio, and FIRE investing plans. Amberly, our Canadian of the group, brings a valuable view as someone who is directly seeing how US tariffs impacted her country. Will America remain the economic superpower we’ve long been, or will tariffed countries quickly form new alliances? Is that good for YOUR future investments? What about interest rates? With more theories that President Trump is making these moves to lower rates, could your next mortgage get more affordable? Or, will lower rates plus tariffs trigger serious inflation—or potentially even deflation? This news brings a lot of “what ifs,” and if you’re confused, fret not; we’ll explain it in this bonus episode. In This Episode We Cover The new tariff pause and why markets sprung up (massively!) on Wednesday How we’re investing (right now) during all this stock market hysteria The long-term trade risks that affect all Americans after these recent tariff proposals Will interest rates fall with this much volatility; could a new Fed chair force lower rates? One major flaw with the “manufacturing boost” theory that comes with new tariffs Incoming inflation AND deflation risks as prices rise but American budgets shrink And So Much More!
