7 Stocks I'm Buying As Tariffs And Deportations Prowl Behind The Rally
Tariff risks are underappreciated by the market; persistently high tariffs could weigh on economic growth, and investor complacency is unwarranted. Slowing population growth and deportations threaten U.S. economic expansion, especially in labor-dependent sectors, as immigration is key to workforce and consumption growth. Utility-scale renewables remain resilient despite policy headwinds, with cost competitiveness and strong demand from major tech firms supporting continued growth.

This Changes Everything: One Of The Most Important Shifts For Dividend Investors
Inflation isn't just back, it's becoming policy. From skewed CPI data to deficit-driven dollar moves, we're entering a new and lasting macro era. The U.S. may now prefer higher inflation to fix its balance sheet and boost growth. That changes everything, including how we invest, where we invest, and why. I'm not overhauling my strategy. But I'm sharpening my focus on pricing power, hard assets, and income that's built for this new reality.

6 Dividend Stocks I'm Buying As The AI Bubble Inflates
Tariffs are directly fueling inflation, impacting both imported and domestic goods, and CFOs are increasingly concerned about the economic burden. Big Tech's momentum is driven by robust earnings growth, not just AI hype, so I don't see an AI bubble yet—valuations are rich but potentially justified. REITs are deeply out of favor despite improving fundamentals and attractive valuations; I see this as a long-term buying opportunity for quality names.

Tariffs On, Tariffs Off
US equity markets rallied this week, capping off the best monthly gains since November 2023, as investors weighed encouraging inflation data against a whipsaw of court rulings on tariffs. Extending the on-again-off-again tariff saga, a trade court ruled that the tariffs were procedurally invalid, but an Appeals court paused the block, likely sending the decision to the Supreme Court. Rebounding from declines of 2.6% last week, the S&P 500 rallied 1.8% this week, closing within 4% of its February record highs.
