Hello Investors!
I hope everyone is having a relaxing weekend because stocks will not be doing so well in the next couple of weeks. Trump is now going after Europe because they have not negotiated with the US about tariffs. This in turn is forcing Trump to take action to push Europe to start negotiating terms with the US about tariffs. This will shake the markets in the coming weeks because now this puts fear in investors eyes. I do not blame investors for wanting to pull out of the stock market because of this uncertainty, but this is also a good time to look at picking up more shares of your favorite stock once again. If you are a big fan of Apple or NVDA this is the time to start picking up shares while it is still a good price. This tariff trade war is just like what happened during the start of COVID. If you want to capitalize on what is going on in the world then pull some of that savings that you can afford to lose and put it in a good stock or ETF that will gain you more over the course of time. If you are still hesitant about the stock market then I suggest you put your money into a high yield savings account. A high yield savings account will give you more than leaving your money in the bank or under your mattress. Diversification is the key term that all investors need to learn and follow during their investment journey. These are the top stocks I would start investing in if you have extra money laying around.
NVDA
Apple
Amazon
Google
Microsoft
Meta
I am hoping that this week NVDA does drop closer to $100, so that I can continue to buy five NVDA per paycheck instead of four. I do love NVDA stock, but Amazon is so cheap right now I really cannot pass up this opportunity before it heads up higher. I do also believe that Microsoft and Meta will end up splitting either the end of this year or sometime next year. They are really getting up there in the stock price and most blue chip stocks want to let the middle class purchase their stocks. If you are new to investing, hang in there and do not give up. The stock market will find its bull days once again.
Until next time…Have a wonderful weekend and remember it is never too late to start investing!
