The S&P 500 descends into correction territory following President Trump‘s tariff declarations. What Happened: Stock prices plummeted in response to President Trump’s sweeping 10% tariffs on all U.S. trading partners announced the day before.

Consequently, the S&P 500 has now dipped over 11% from its February peak, indicating its entry into correction territory.

Charlie Munger, the longtime business partner of Warren Buffett, once voiced his disapproval of introducing young people to active stock trading, likening it to initiating them into heroin use. What Happened: Munger expressed his contempt for active investment management during the yearly Daily Journal shareholder meeting in 2019. He proposed that it might be detrimental to novice investors. Munger compared the contemporary world’s efforts to promote active stock trading among the youth to persuading them to start using heroin.

Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Have you ever been to your favorite restaurant, ordered the dish you’ve always loved and noticed it just doesn’t taste the same anymore? Maybe they started sourcing cheaper ingredients to cut costs, sacrificing quality for short-term gains.
