Hi Wealth Builders!
This week, the indexes ended lower. The inflation report caused a quick selloff, but we ended with a nice rally on Friday! Hopefully the rally continues into next week! Continue to stay patient, consistent and disciplined my friends 😊. Financial freedom will be worth it! 💸

QQQ : -0.97%, closed at $394.7
Sorry Boss 🤷♂️
Portugal makes it illegal for bosses to call their employees outside of work hours. This is very interesting...Work burnout is very real and it can negatively affect employees and businesses. Although productivity may decline, this can contribute to the positive mental well-being of employees which can produce a higher quality of work. If you're feeling burnt out, practice some self-care! Sometimes taking one step back will help you take ten steps forward 🙂.
Musk's Madness 🤯
Elon Musk sold millions of shares of TSLA this week. He comically had a poll on twitter, asking his followers if he should sell his shares in which he was already planning to sell eventually. Honestly pretty funny, but our investments aren't a joke. The actions of CEOs are important. Although entertaining, Musk's actions effect TSLA stock. TSLA is an exciting company to follow, but it has high volatility. We take everything into consideration before deciding to invest in a company. Consider revisiting our investing criteria and stay disciplined!
Global Trade 🤝
The Biden administration is attempting to ease tariffs on Japanese steel and aluminum. A tariff is a tax placed on foreign-made goods. Lowering tariffs can improve relationships between countries and help lower prices for consumers. Tariffs on imported goods make products more expensive, passing the price on to the consumers.
