President Donald Trump's tariff terrors were revealed Wednesday afternoon, and markets were not enthused. At all. The worse than expected tariff rates are the highest ever. Trade policy is still uncertain, however, as the tariffs are seen as a negotiating tactic, and subject to revision. But this makes it difficult for companies to re-calculate forward looking estimates of earnings. And as the ripple effects of higher expenses are felt in the economy, the risk of recession rises.  Lance takes a break to extol his wife's virtues as a basketball savant; Lance and Michael discuss the likely Fed response to higher tariffs and slower economic growth, review a chart of the VIX (more volatility on the way),  and emphasize the importance of context and perspective before reacting to the tariffs' effects. Markets are not not red or blue; disallow political influences when making investment decisions. Lance and Michael reveal the silver lining behind the tariffs' effects; narratives will drive markets for the next few weeks until fresher economic data is seen. With the imposition of these tariffs, will Trump be emboldened to talk tax cuts?   SEG-1: Trump Tariffs: Worse Than Expected SEG-2: The Risk of Recession Rises SEG-3a: Mrs. Roberts Basketball Savant SEG-3b: What Will Fed's Response to Tariffs Be?

The U.S. Tariff Rate just increased dramatically; this is the worst-case scenario. The new tariffs are stacked on top of previously-existing tariffs. These will have to be dealt with by both manufacturers and consumers: The question is whether or not the cost of the tariffs can be passed on to the consumer. This WILL drastically change companies' forward earnings estimates, which have been very elevated and needed to come down; this will do that. Markets price on what future expectations will be...and this does not leave much upside for markets this year. There will be lots of volatility, lots of trading ranges, but not a lot of upside. In fact, we may well have already seen the upside for the year. The silver lining here may be that these tariffs ARE the worst-case scenario, and there is time before they go into effect (in which time, they could be adjusted as countries respond.) We would be cautious about selling during this sell-off.

Liberation Day arrives: Clarity about tariffs should help markets. What will be the impact on economic growth: Will consumers pay higher prices or choose alternatives? There are too many variables to calculate the true economic impact. Market performance this year is all about diversification of assets within portfolios...and what's working this year may not work next year. Avoid complacency! Before the bell, downside risk still remains. RIP, Val Kilmer. Today is "Liberation Day" (from what?) Have markets already priced-in the effects? This is a difficult market to hedge: Do you bet on the Mag-7 or the other 493? The best thing to do today is...nothing. The truth about tariffs: Foreign nations have been charging the US tariffs all along (40% of US Corporate profits come from exports); Trump just wants to equalize the playing field. The unknown variable is Consumer Choice: No one knows what folks will choose to purchase. Lance looks at interest rates, what drives them, and where they're likely going. Tariffs do lead to slower economic growth, but current economic data does not support bear porn. Increased costs = reduced demand. Inflation expectations are parsed by political proclivities.   SEG-1: Liberation Day: Downside Risks Remain SEG-2: Liberation from What?

Markets have had two days in a row of starting off weaker and ending positive. Markets have formed support at the recent bottom (too soon to tell if a double-bottom is forming), and the buy signal remains intact, and relative strength has turned up. Despite the markets' struggling, money flows have returned into the markets. One caveat: Much of the recent buying was due to end of quarter re-balancing. There remains downside risk from this point, and much depends upon how markets react to today's tariff announcement by the White House.

Investors must remember that we're coming off two years of exceptional market returns, and that market corrections must be viewed in their proper context...and expected. Lance discusses the positive and negative impact of Mag-7 stocks on markets due to their weighting; meanwhile, the First Quarter has ended with institutional buyers acting in the final minutes of Monday's trading day, boosting stocks to a less than 1% gain at the close. Markets give signals, but context is needed. Corrections are generally buying opportunities. Lance shares a tale of his wife's candy stash and an example of her "largesse" in sharing same; plus a spoiler alert fo the 1923 TV series. How should investors act after a correction? So far, there are no signals indicating a shift from bullish to bearish trends. Lance and Jonathan discuss what "reducing exposure" in a portfolio really means, and lessons learned from 2008. Commentary on BlackRock's Larry Fink (a.k.a Darth Vader) plans to open private investing to Main Street investors, and why it's a horrible idea. Why is Hooters filing for bankruptcy?

Institutions waiting until the very last minute to balance portfolios, pulling markets up to barely eke out a gain for the day. The action kept markets intact, although still over sold. And in all the market turmoil, a negative divergence is developing in both relative strength and momentum: Market uncertainty over tariffs, and whatever Liberation Day" means will certainly temper traders today. Lance describes Fibonacci retracement on pull backs and extensions. There is a level of support markets will try to bounce off of. The question for today: Can Markets hold support at that level? If not, a break of support will likely next test the 5400 level. If tariffs are revealed to be more brutal than expected tomorrow, the decline in the market could be more severe. If less so, markets could have a really big rally. If you want to short the market, you could be terribly wrong...or terribly right. Don't be overly aggressive today; just wait.

There are no discernable signs of economic stress...yet, bu tconsumers are concerned about wages and job security. The question begging to be asked: When is the Fed going to step in (Fed purview: Employment and price stability...AND by extension, consumer confidence). How will markets react to Liberation Day (4/2)? Corporate buy backs will resume 3rd week of April. Markets pulled back on Friday (mimicking four similar pull backs last year.) Make no changes just yet; wait for the next market bounce. Can corporations pass along the expense of increased tariffs? When will the Fed act? Goldman is cutting its earnings expectations for 2025, and valuations are beginning to fall. Lance explains the relevance of Consumer Confidence to PCE, which contributes 70% of GDP. A decline in Consumer Confidence results in a decline in PCE...and earnings. Turmoil in the markets: Don't panic; this, too, shall pass. Tariffs are a tax corporations pay; consumer choice is a big factor: choose to not buy, or purchase for less elsewhere. Market declines have nothing to do with tariffs; tariffs are not a black swan event. Lance shares about the Roberts' blended family, and how he's making his kids independent in the face of a report showing 50% of parents are supporting their adult children in some fashion.    SEG-1: How Might Markets React to Liberation Day?

Markets sold off on Friday with results outside of "normal" pullback parameters. [NOTE: We had FOUR such pullbacks last year.] Declines of 1 - 1.5% were normal, and occurred prior to major events like the Yen Carry Trade blow up and the sell-off going into the election...which were followed by a short term bounce. This morning, futures are pointing down, and we'll be looking to retest the lows set back in the initial decline. If markets are able to hold the present level of support, we expect to see a bit of a bounce, so selling here tends to be a mistake. There is a good news/bad news scenario: The good news is markets are over sold; the bad news is markets failed at the 200-DMA, and suggests markets could even trade a bit lower over the next few weeks. Sentiment is pretty negative, so be careful in your positioning.

Tariff talk is giving markets a fit, unable to price equities or make reasonable earnings estimates amidst the on-again, off-again tariff threats. The Atlanta Fed’s GDPNow economic forecasting tool predicts an imminent recession, which is fueling investor angst. However, the New York and St. Louis Feds’ Nowcast economic forecasts predict continued economic growth in the first quarter. Confused? Lance Roberts & Michael Lebowitz explore the GDPNow and Nowcast models to understand the recent forecast divergences. How do these affect economic forecasts for 2025? How do they align with recession predictions vs growth outlook and the Federal Reserve interest rate outlook? What should investors do when presented with conflicting economic indicators, and how should you factor-in market uncertainty analysis?

Markets sold off Wednesday ahead of 25% tariff impositions on foreign-made automobiles, and the uncertainty of other on-again, off-again tariff talk.  Markets failed at the 200-DMA and the media alarms sounded! Take caution about reacting to headlines and any market action driven by the news; give it a day or so to confirm whether that break was valid or not. There is rising trend channel coming up off the bottom. The short, saleable rally we saw may be all that we get, so be cautious! We are still in the end of the quarter period, which concludes on Monday; there may still be some buying to be done. We are still on a buy signal, and relative strength is improving. Wednesday was not a good day, technically, for the S&P; but for the Russell 2000, things were worse. And while earnings expectations for the S&P 500 are optimistic, for Mid- and Small-cap companies, they are absolutely flat, with no expectations for growth.

Is the risk of recession rising? Consumer sentiment is flagging following last week's market correction. Investors cannot dismiss sentiment and money flows. Everything that drives the market gets down to earnings. The next round of earnings reports will commence in a couple of weeks. It appears the Dollar has bottomed, and markets are setting up for a rally short term. Lance and Danny address misinformation about recession vs stagflation; there does not yet appear to be evidence of recession, but markets are pretty good predictors.
