In uncertain economic times, first protect your capital and then position strategically. Prioritize defensive, inflation-resistant assets like gold and high-quality dividend-paying stocks.

Given the unprecedented market disruption from Trump's tariff announcements, my immediate advice is to prioritize capital preservation while positioning yourself to capitalize on emerging opportunities. Here's your actionable playbook:

While a recession appears highly probable, its severity and length will hinge on how quickly policymakers recognize and rectify tariff-related disruptions. So prepare for turbulence lasting into mid-to-late 2026, with strategic caution and flexibility paramount during this period.

2. How Long Will the Recession Last?
Short Answer:
Expect this recession to last between 12 and 18 months, leaning toward the longer end of that spectrum, with recovery beginning once policies stabilize and tariffs are significantly rolled back or mitigated.

Detailed Reasoning:
