If you want to bring up market performance, then we gotta talk about tariffs, and AI, and I was just with the family at Thanksgiving, alright?

Why? I didn’t vote for Trump, but 4 out of the 5 years he was in office my investments grew pretty substantially in a way that they didn’t under Obama and Biden, I can’t really count 2020 since there was somewhat of an external factor that year. Even still I didn’t lose, just didn’t grow as much.

If AI and tariffs don’t result in substantial market losses for me (and they haven’t yet) why should I care?
