Two weeks after Trump was declared the victor in last November’s presential election, the dollar surged to a one-year high. It’s held its strength against its major peers ever since. Today, Trump takes office and a flurry of announcements are expected to follow on from the inauguration. Despite rumblings of tariffs and tax cuts inviting [...]
We’re all looking for a “sure thing.” An investment we know is going to make us money—no matter what. I personally have never invested much of my net worth in stocks. They’re volatile. You need to pay too much attention to them. You need to know exactly when to buy and when to sell—or you [...]
