Summary

  • Volatility is back, and while it's normal, fear dominates. Investors are uneasy despite no official correction, as past gains spoiled expectations.
  • Economic uncertainty, rising debt, and inflation risks fuel market anxiety. If Trump acts on lower rates, short-term pain may be inevitable.
  • I'm seizing opportunities, focusing on value and cyclical dividend growth. Buying dips has historically paid off, and I'm betting big on key stocks.
