This week has been one of the most intense of my career, with daily political headlines and market records being broken. I invested more than half my cash, expanding positions. While the market experienced extreme volatility, the recent 90-day tariff pause and lower inflation offer some relief. The drop in long-term yields could also provide more stability for the market. Although I'm not convinced we'll reach all-time highs anytime soon, I remain focused on quality dividend/value stocks, as strategic, long-term investing in this environment can offer great opportunities.
