Trade Wars
With the tariffs going into effect midnight Friday 6th, is it time to move to the G fund on Thursday or Friday?

Re: Trade Wars
Does anyone have an insights into which funds might be more impacted by upcoming tariffs? Obviously the I fund has been terrible for a while, so I guess I'm asking more about the S and C funds.
Re: Trade Wars
Should affect large caps and international stocks much more than small caps so C and I should get hit the hardest but most of our stock fund options stay relatively in lockstep more or less
Re: Trade Wars
Friday, July 6th, was an unexpected market rally for me. I thought with the previous day rally, seasonal chart results and the tariffs going into effect on Friday, the market would have declined.

Re: Trade Wars
One thing I am learning is to not pull my money out when everything is doom and gloom based on external noise leading us to think the market is going to drop. Point in case is that the market has been struggling the last couple months with the possibility of tariffs. Then, when the tariffs are actually implemented the market goes up! That is why people can’t predict the market on a day to day basis. At the end of the day, interest rates, earnings and the value of the dollar are what determine the direction of the market. I’m beginning to see that the best time to pull your money out is when the Stocks have been going up, you’ve made a profit, and everybody is bullish. That is when the market is most vulnerable...just like Jan/Feb of this year. I lost almost 10% jumping into the S fund trying to follow the daily seasonals.

Re: Trade Wars
Thoughts on the tariff effect for the rest of this month? I see that we opened lower in the I with almost one percent lower, but steadily rising. I think I will hang in the I till around the 18/19th. Anyone else in the I currently?

Re: Trade Wars
Any thoughts on what effect it will have on the markets if Trump imposes the 25% tariffs on 200 billion worth of China imports tomorrow? I’ve read that this scenario is not priced into the markets. It is starting to look like a real possibility. I’m sure the C and I funds will be hit the hardest.
Re: Trade Wars
I'm sure the market will go up or down.

Re: Trade Wars
At some point doesn't the I fund become a good buying opportunity? It looks like it is down again today and at the 1 year low.

Looks like to me we got outcome #2 with a potential to go to outcome #1 within 90 days. With the Fed elevating fears, and the trade wars appearing to reconcile are we headed to new highs soon? I don’t think so, but I am going to ride out the S fund for a while.
