Hello Investors!
It has been a good couple of weeks for the stock market, but today everyone decided to sell to make some profits off their gains. I know for myself red stocks always mean more money for me. I do believe that everyone should hang back a bit and continue to do their research into which stocks will gain momentum going into the next four years. Right now, for me going into 2025 I am still looking into Nvidia and Amazon. I do believe these are the best choices for consistent growth with the economy we are going into once Trump takes over. I am also certain that tariffs will change not only the US import and export business, but all of the other countries’ trade like China and Mexico. It would mean higher prices for US consumers, but it all works out eventually with the economy and inflation. In Trump’s last term our economy was running pretty well, and we did not have any wars like we have today. Overall, there always will be balance with power. On the side note the Yen is still weak against the US dollar. It is still an enjoyable time to visit Japan or even invest in Yen. I do believe that the US dollar will gain more strength going into 2025 and the Yen will drop even more. You should treat forex trading like investing in the stock market. Do not time the market.
This paycheck I was able to buy two shares of Apple and one share of VOO. I finally was able to purchase that one share of VOO. I am super happy with how VOO is going because the S&P 500 is hitting new highs. I am now eleven shares away from one thousand shares of Apple. With all the dividends I got from Apple it added up to $203.98 and with the dividend reinvestment plan the dividends bought me close to one share of Apple. I am a firm believer that compound interest helps a lot over the course of time. That is why dividend investors always have passive income and if you do not pull your profits out you will make more every year.
Until next time…Have a wonderful weekend and remember it is never too late to start investing!
