Make no mistake about it: tariffs are real and impactful, and they will cause volatility in the financial markets. A case in point is Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) stock, which got slammed Monday, continuing last week’s deep decline.
So, if I suggest that investors should “forget” about tariffs, I don’t mean it literally. It’s generally a good idea to be aware of current events.
At the same time, obsessing over the fast-moving changes in the ongoing trade war won’t benefit your financial or mental health. Indeed, if the market is truly efficient in the 2020s, then tariff-induced volatility in Apple stock should be viewed as a rare buying opportunity, not a reason to run for the hills.
