Hello Investors!
I hope everyone had a good weekend! Tomorrow is another day and I look forward to seeing what the stock market has to offer since Trump paused the China tariffs for 90 days. I believe that all the investors were very happy to see the pause. This also could mean that the US and China are negotiating new tariff rates. No matter what the rate is, the stock market always has misbeliefs about whether or not the rates will keep on changing throughout the year. I do know that by the end of this year most items will increase in price or get harder to find. If you are afraid of finding things for Christmas I suggest you start buying gifts and presents slowly and on sale. Just start to save money just in case the cost of living decides to go up due to tariffs. No matter what the US and China will end up tariffing goods coming in and out. This will never change, this is part of the economy.
This paycheck I was able to purchase four shares of NVDA and one share of VOO. The really good thing about this week is that Apple did a dividend payout which let me purchase one more share in my Traditional IRA account. I was also able to change my Apple stock to reinvest the dividend payouts. This means that now all my stocks and ETFS are under the Dividend Reinvestment Program (DRIP). This is highly recommended due to it helping you in the long run.
Until next time…Have a wonderful week and remember it is never too late to start investing!
