You think it is too harsh. Gross Margin is down but Net ncome is up.

RECAP 1). Open a custodian account & set up small monthly saving and invest in VUG (Vanguard Growth) ETF. Tip: I didn’t have the extra money, so I funded their accounts by using gifted money they have received since little. 2). Hire them to work for you before 18 of age. Per IRS, you don’t have to pay payroll taxes, their payroll can be write off as business expenses. The kids get to fund their Roth IRA until 18. Tip: Their Summer earnings to fund their Roth. As long as it is EARNED money, you can fund the Roth account.. 3). Fund their Roth 401k (if the employer offers that) as soon as they start working until they have a family of their own. As we know, our kids will make more $ as they mature in their profession & WILL PAY HIGHER taxes. Here is the link to the source https://youtube.com/shorts/WzHW7mznIpk?si=eLZ5XmS6j7eHpYJ8

I took note from an investor(youtuber Felix) how to prepare for a crash. Things we can do right now: 1. Assess your risk. Ie. Diversify your asset class. 2. Take some profit on Winners or set stop loss 3. Rebalance to defensive positions 4. Create your crash shopping list 5. Tight risk management (avoid leverage) 6. Control your emotion. I think we can have a 15 to 20% big correction day (or week) but not a prolong market crash in 2026 that most people fears. Can you share one good defensive stock that you know can be a good play in 2026? For me I picked Pfizer, Verizon and Vici.
