      I completely agree with you! My first 100k took a long time and wasn't that special to be honest with you. Once I hit 300K that is the game changer in my opinion. At this point my money is basically making me a pretty good yearly salary. When I go to sleep at night I know my money is making decent money with the help of my FA..

      Nice. People often underestimate financial advisors' importance. Over 50 years of data reveal that those who work with advisors typically earn more than those who go it alone. I've been fortunate to work with one for 13 years, resulting in a $1 million portfolio, largely from early investments in AI and other growth stocks.

Anyone who has been paying attention knows China's economy is in a world of hurt. Many factories in China have been closed permanently because of Xi's disastrous zero-covid policy. The ones that are still operating are barely surviving. Trade shows are empty. Manufacturing has been gradually shifting to India. U.S. is doing just fine. China... not so much.

    Ultimately China has no answer to the US tariffs. The trade imbalance means that no matter what countermeasures the Chinese apply it has to be very targeted. The Chinese simply don't spend enough on US goods to counter-tariff. In any case the US will use the money from the tariffs to subsidize American production. So essentially China can subsidize its producers all it wants, but Chinese tax dollars are just going to be subsidizing American production and American consumption. Prices in America will rise in the short term but start going down as the subsidies kick in.

    If you live near the beach, you probably noticed how incoming tides are eroding the beachfront, undercutting the cliff, so severe that houses were lost to crumbling foundation. Despite the best of efforts to install barriers of all designs and manners, they only serve to slow down the inevitable.
    Now this is what is happening in the US manufacturing sector. The tariffs are like the barriers to stop the incoming tides, but how long and how much time can you buy before the manufacturing sector is done for?
    We can justifiably blame US politics and politicians. There is another factor at play there...US dollars. A strong U$ gives Americans a good living standard, much better than the rest of the world. But it is a double-edge sword...it cuts both sides. A high U$ made the US uncompetitive. O Americans were living a good life while the rest of the world can only look at and admired, but that changed when the rest of the world is catching up and produces goods to sell to the US at very competitive prices, that is what we are seeing now.
    Now US politicians are like the rats in rising water...panicking and throwing tariffs and sanctions around just like the scenario of building barriers to stop the rising tides. How long can this last until the US economy crumbles?
