Warren Buffet said: To make money on the stock market, sell when the market is high, and buy when the market is low. So, if you know that something is going to happen soon that will tank the market, you sell. And when that something happens and the market tanks, you buy. And just keep doing this.

You see how it works? You announce tarrifs and the market goes low. Then the wealthy buy low. Then you announce a three month delay of tarrifs and the market goes high. And the wealthy have made a lot of money.

We humans are all one family. We are conscious and conscious of being conscious. We love. We suffer. We die. We each need love, food, home, and happiness. We are all prone to anger, fear, greed, and ignorance. I vow to show love to my those who have lost their way due to negative emotions.
