Pretty damn good.
Just hoping Trumps back and forth tariff “plan” doesn’t hurt me. The economy and market will ultimately determine how well his presidency is doing. All about the money.

I'm up 32% from Jan 1 to today on my stock portfolio. I am about 50/50 on fixed and variable assets. My fixed rate is running about 5.5%. I'm fairly active on trading since most of that is in 401k's and Roths'. Nobody needs taxable consequences immediately so I trade with Qualified money mostly!
I've got some longer term bonds at 7.5% and a few fixed at 8.5%, but most is in a fixed money market account waiting for the next opportunity to buy in at. I saw some annuities at AAA the other day at 9% but laughed at the terms offered.
