At the risk of aging myself, I vividly remember Mad Magazine as a kid, and the goofy, enigmatic, care-free character Alfred E. Neuman.

Alfred was famous for being care-free with the buzz phrase..."What, Me Worry?"

As the Trade War intensifies, I ask, who is "worried" out there?

Well Donald Trump is hoping China is worried. The Donald is hoping that Fed Chair Powell is worried.

But both of these individuals are giving us their BEST "Alfred E. Neuman" imitation.

What? Me, Worry?

Powell can "wait", he is NOT worried.

Xi Jinping can "wait", as he just secured a $400 billion trade surplus windfall, thanks to a pre-tariff BOOM in Exports. There is NO inflation in China. Retail Sales are growing at a near +6% year-year rate. Industrial Production is surging, the Labor market has stabilized, the stock market is NOT plunging like it is in the US, leaving only the deflated Property market (and maybe the Banks) as a potential source of worry.

Bottom line, Xi is NOT "worried".

Trump has tried to bully both Xi and Powell...but neither are worried, and neither has flinched (nor is likely to anytime soon).

The ONLY people who are WORRIED right now...US Consumers, and US Equity market bulls.

This has been bearish for the USD and Stock Indexes...and wildly bullish for Gold and Canadian Gold Mining shares, JUST LIKE I'VE SAID IT WOULD BE since January, and more specifically in the last several episodes of Money, Markets & New Age Investing.

Greg Weldon hosts Money, Markets & New Age Investing, a podcast built on the idea that modern investing requires more than just financial news. It demands a framework that blends disciplined analysis with an understanding of the underlying forces-economic, mathematical, and even scientific-that drive global capital markets. The aim here is to demystify how these complex systems actually work, moving beyond surface-level commentary to explore the mechanics that make markets tick. You’ll hear detailed discussions on specific trading strategies, but always paired with the crucial component of risk management. Weldon emphasizes protecting your downside as much as identifying opportunity, arguing that true capital preservation is the foundation of growth. This isn't about quick tips; it's about developing a structured, informed approach to navigating volatility. Each episode translates vast market data and interconnections into actionable insights, aiming to level the playing field for individual investors. By integrating perspectives from business, investing, mathematics, and science, the podcast provides a unique, multi-disciplinary toolkit for anyone looking to make more deliberate decisions with their capital. Tune in for a rigorous yet accessible deep dive into the principles and tactics that define new age investing.
