An antidote to market meltdown mania

We're LIVE and FREE on YouTube soon.

A financial expert or broker looks worried as he checks out a graph showing market volatility.

Look, I'm going to keep this short.

Which… is uncommon for me, and might be a relief for you. 

Two things:

First, the ASX is down 1.5% right now, after the US markets fell almost 5% overnight. No, I didn't predict it, but I did write something yesterday in the wake of the tariff announcement and the fall in the US Futures yesterday afternoon.

In the iconic words of the late Charlie Munger, 'I have nothing to add'. So, if you're worried about your portfolio, please have a read.

And second, in some fortuitous timing (an accident, not the return of Nostradamus), we'd already planned a 100% live and free YouTube Live session for 12.30pm AEDT, today (Friday).

Who said dumb luck isn't a thing?

The original title was 'Market Update'.

Then it was 'Tariffs and Market Update'.

Now, it's 'Tariffs, Market Slump and Market Update'.

With an hour before we kick off, I hope that'll be the final time we change the title!

Plus, we'll do a live Q&A, where I'll answer as many questions as I can in the time allotted to us. (Or, I'll sing and dance to fill the time, if there are no questions! Choose carefully.)

So… in short: stay the course.

And if you want some moral support, my thoughts on what the hell is going on, or have other questions… please jump online in an hour's time (12.30pm AEDT) and be part of our YouTube community.

I hope you'll join me.

Just click on the image above, or this link (and if you're early, you can set a YouTube reminder!)

See you there!
