Year to date, stocks are down. 1 calendar year though, most are still up.
I’d say it’s a few things:
-
Stock market loves de-regulation. (Fewer rules -> more profit.
-
Stock market loves the promise of corporate tax cuts.
-
Even with tarrifs and nonsense, most American stock indices are heavily skewed to the magnificent 7, all of which besides Tesla are fairly immune to global trade.
I love a good jerk chicken:

Honestly, I’ve had a lot of success recently using LLMs for suggestions like this plus whatever I have in my fridge. Came up with a tasty siracha maple and maple mustard pair when I saw a deal on shitty bulk maple syrup.
They’ve really let me take advantage of deals and sales etc.
