Perhaps, the only news more shocking than the market staging such large rally was the Lakers getting knocked out of the NBA playoffs by the Timberwolves. The series wasn’t even close, as the Timberwolves dominated the Lakers 4-1 in the best of 5 series. There is another possible upset brewing in the West as the Warriors lead the Rockets 3-2. Maybe, that means the market will tumble next week. These days, it seems anything is possible.

For example, after one of the most vicious downturns on record, the S&P 500 staged a huge rally this week. It recorded its ninth consecutive positive day and has completely recovered its losses since “Liberation Day”. While tariff uncertainty hangs over the market, investors are clearly “buying the dip”.

Don’t get complacent, though. The economy is yet to feel the impact of dramatically reduced imports caused by tariff uncertainty. Lots of folks are predicting a recession. Day to day, week to week, it’s hard to predict where the market will go. No matter what happens, we can help you find the right stocks.
