You have power over your mind - not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.”
Hello, my friends!
🌍 I'm sure many of you caught those impulsive weekend headlines that sent ripples and gaps through global markets.
🤷♂️ Whether you're cheering or concerned about the escalating trade rhetoric - these macro events are largely beyond our individual control.
So why are you getting so emotional with these headlines?
Updated Impulses:
Supreme court doesn't rule on Trump's tariffs Tuesday
France's Foreign Minister: France supports the EU parliament's wish to suspend the EU-US trade deal.
US Commerce Secretary Lutnick: If Europe retaliates with tariffs, then we will be back to a tit for tat.
That's precisely why my focus stays sharp on empowering you with positive solutions that drive real progress in your own trading and life.
Markets thrive on testing emotions and manufacturing uncertainty, but they also reward those who stay disciplined, reframe challenges, and seize high-probability setups amid the chaos.
In future letters, I'll break down these headlines into simplified insights and share perspectives to help you turn potential headwinds into opportunity - because delays in global deals don't have to delay your goals.
Stay ahead of the curve, control what you can, and keep building momentum.

Last Time the Market Was This Expensive, Investors Waited 14 Years to Break Even
In 1999, the S&P 500 peaked. Then it took 14 years to gradually recover by 2013.
Today? Goldman Sachs sounds crazy forecasting 3% returns for 2024 to 2034.
But we’re currently seeing the highest price for the S&P 500 compared to earnings since the dot-com boom.
So, maybe that’s why they’re not alone; Vanguard projects about 5%.
In fact, now just about everything seems priced near all time highs. Equities, gold, crypto, etc.
But billionaires have long diversified a slice of their portfolios with one asset class that is poised to rebound.
It’s post war and contemporary art.
Sounds crazy, but over 70,000 investors have followed suit since 2019—with Masterworks.
You can invest in shares of artworks featuring Banksy, Basquiat, Picasso, and more.
24 exits later, results speak for themselves: net annualized returns like 14.6%, 17.6%, and 17.8%.*
