EP 235: Twitchy Markets & Tariff Shock: The Biggest Market Swing in History

Markets just experienced one of the most dramatic intraday reversals in history — and at the center of it all? Tariffs. In this episode, we dive into how sudden trade policy shifts, particularly around President Trump’s tariff announcements, are sending shockwaves through investor sentiment and market pricing.

We’ll break down what tariffs actually are, who really pays for them, and why reacting to market drops after the fact can be more harmful than helpful. If you’ve been feeling whiplashed by the headlines, this one’s for you.

Topics Discussed:   

  • The impact of Trump's tariffs on stock volatility and investor mood.
  • How tariffs raise consumer prices, risk recessions, and disrupt supply chains.
  • Lessons from past financial crises.
  • The importance of a long-term investment view during market swings.
  • The benefits of global diversification.
  • Strategies to endure market swings.
