I have several accounts but by and large I hold these 5 funds.

Do your own research though. If you ask many people they will say covered call ETFs are trash and lousy. Limit your upside growth potential etc. High risk. Capped capital appreciation because of the covered calls. Returns are inferior to buying index funds. I would say is all true.

If you want the easiest best returns is to just buy index funds.

Thank you for sharing your investment strategy. Interesting and very ambitious -- hope you do well!

I have stuck mostly to buying index funds. In the spirit of GPGT, below is my portfolio of ~80% world or US-dominated index funds, over the last month.

Given Trump and the volatility, i am just DCA-ing monthly, while keeping more spare cash in case major corrections happen again.

From his post it sounds like China tariff US 55%, US tariff China 10%.
am I getting this wrong?

Yes you are getting it wrong.

US tariffing Chinese goods 55% up fron 30%. China 10% tariffs on US goods which is the same as agree to a month ago.

21% more than the original tariffs on China.

Peasants’ lives not important. It’s all about ‘managing’ debts.

If feds lower a point this year, the stock market will rocket to the moon. This is especially true for tech stocks.

A weaker dollar that comes with fed rate cuts will also help the US economy and stock market.

Now can still buy which stock?

whatever the aurat is selling will be a good start.

So no more 10% base line? Have to give it to Trump to be able to impose tariffs with no impact.

10% is the base line. The lowest trump will go down to on tariffs. There no more free trade.

Tariffs does have an impact on price dropping. Tariffs doesn't increase prices. Tariffs are deflationary.

Stick with index funds like SPY

The major correction happened in March. There might be some minor dip but nowhere near the 10+% we saw on March.

Damn it entered circle

Do you mean early April? there was a -15% drop for me at one time during that period..

But i get your point. Now we see how the US-China talks pan out.

The stock market dropped from February to early April. The big correction is over. It will come back but not this year.

April 2025 finished with only -0.68% down.

in b4 consumers bear the costs of tariffs

Anyways, don't blindly believe Trump on his economic policies. U think Xi will agree to lowering tariff on US goods to just 10% while allowing Trump to impose 55% on China imports? Moreover, allowing the shipment of rare earth to the US, in exchange for china students studying in the US ? Very lopsided trade.

This orange man is just trying to manipulate the stock market.

oh well. Misssd the boat.

Lololol china already lower it to 10% last month agreement. The deal was 30% to 10%. Now it's 55% to 10%.

The original tariffs was 34%. Now up to 55%. If China kept it mouth shut it save them 21% of increased tariffs and probably lower it down to 20%.

There is no trade deal.

Imo, this is all a setup, for Trump to escalate his feud with China. Trump admin knows that Xi would reject his terms. WH is preempting Xi, by pretending to be reasonable when their terms are anything but.

This is all theatrics.

Lololol coping so much.

Lololol coping so much.

Trump wants to decouple from china. So he is creating an excuse to do so.

If you are a Trump supporter, shouldn't you be heypi ?
