The Daily Nugget
By the time the headlines turn positive, the new leaders are already long gone.
The headlines are still grim.
Ongoing tariffs… rising recession fears… geopolitical risk.
And yet, the market has been quietly climbing.
It won’t recover in a straight line – there will be painful dips along the way.
And given who’s sitting in the Oval Office right now, you can bet the mainstream media headlines will skew negative even more.
