Markets panicked after Donald Trump threatened Europe with tariffs and hinted at force over Greenland, hitting European and US stocks.
Safe‑havens like gold and defence shares jumped.
When Trump later ruled out military action and withdrew the tariff threat, markets rebounded sharply. DIY investors mostly bought gold, silver, and defence‑linked funds, while trimming high‑growth US tech.
The core lesson: political noise creates volatility, but if you are diversified, as @Scott Picken teaches us, the patient investors will tend to come out ahead.
Have a great Sunday. 👍
