You’ve probably noticed that the market has been on a downward trajectory, but the Dow Jones, the S&P 500, and the NASDAQ are all seeing modest rebounds. We’re not in rally territory at all–but at least the stock market isn’t still plummeting. It’s likely that what we’re seeing is the stock market girding itself for more economic turmoil to come–between Tariffs and Trump’s divisive policies. Linda also analyzes the last six months of the stock market–from unprecedented and unstable growth since the 2024 re-election of Trump, to the market’s recent nosedive. She also provides advice for investors on how to meet the stock market in its current state. Linda also unpacks what the GDP is, and what it means when it comes to recessions. The next GDP numbers will be released on April 30, 2025; we will know then whether or not we are technically in a recession.There are so many ways to make the stock market work for you as you gain more experience as an investor.
