RE: Always beware the motivations of someone whose main focus is the Markets.

As of recent data, approximately 58% of U.S. families own stocks either directly or indirectly through pensions, IRAs, 401(k)s, or mutual funds. Direct ownership of stocks is less common, with only about 21% of families holding stocks directly. But still THAT’s MORE THAN HALF of Americans.

Like it or not the markets DO affect main streeters.

Missed my point entirely, didn't you.

Let me spell it out to you in detail:L

Those, whose focus is the market, and who are heavily invested in said markets, are not to be trusted when they write articles either putting down President Trump's Tariff policies or put a negative spin on President Trump's approach without providing all the facts.

Their focus is on their investments, not Main Street.
