Second-Best Month Fails? What's Your April Trade Plan?

History shows that, since 1971, April has been the second-best month of the year for the three major U.S. stock indexes, according to the Stock Trader’s Almanac. In postelection years since 1950, April has remained a top-performing month — historically ranking as the second-best month for the Dow and the S&P 500, and the third-best month for the Nasdaq (see chart below). However, Trump's tougher-than-expected tariffs drag the market down. ---------------- Is the April effect still possible or not? What's your trade strategy for April?

I'm still a new-ish-bie investor. my strategies: In the US market: - Focus on defensive growth sectors like information technology and healthcare. - Avoid cyclical sectors that may be directly impacted by the tariffs. - Consider short-term hedging tools like gold and US Treasury bonds.

🎉The three major US stock indexes did not waver under Trump’s tariff policy. They are presently on the rise. That shows the “April Effect” rally in full play. Load more on the antifragile portfolio with bonds, gold, Swiss franc and Japanese Yen. Do invest with care and due diligence. Good luck. 🍀

To be honest, I hope the market will be rebound by April, but it seems like not that positive ( small rebound ?). I think it will be a bearish market for quite sometime....let's see...

double bottomed so I bought. everything's priced in. trump says he will be nice so market will rally at least for short term until trump's mood swing returns. in summary April will be positive!
