How Trump’s Executive Orders Could Reshape Investing in 2025

  How Trump’s Executive Orders Could Reshape Investing in 2025 Markets thrive on stability, but Trump’s latest executive orders are shaking things up. While most headlines focus on trade wars and social issues, investors should keep an eye on government restructuring and deregulation—these are the policies that could shake up portfolios the most. Depending on how you play it, this could either be a golden opportunity or a major headache. Regulatory Agencies Under Fire Trump’s push for deregulation and government “efficiency” means agencies like the SEC and FTC could see major rollbacks in enforcement. On one hand, this could be a dream for corporations dodging red tape. On the other, it might open the floodgates for market manipulation, insider trading, and an overall Wild West environment on Wall Street.

Political turmoil, economic instability, and fractured international alliances threaten its dominance. The question isn't whether the dollar will weaken—it's when, and how devastating the fallout will be. Are Stocks Naturally Hedged Against Inflation?

One day it was listed as "Armored Tesla," and then, boom, it's "Armored Electric Vehicles." No explanation, just a neat little edit after reports surfaced about Musk's growing influence in the government. Source:  Time Let's break this down: The contract originally had Tesla's name on it, tied to a bizarre NAICS code for "miscellaneous food manufacturing" (seriously?), and then switched to "Armored Car Services". The same contract is now mysteriously up in the air, with officials saying Tesla hasn't won anything...yet. But why was Tesla even there in the first place? Let's not be naive here. We’re talking about a government contract worth nearly half a billion dollars, and the only "interested" company just so happens to be a newly-formed fir...
