    Q1: From the archive: Yes, the stock market is crashing–here’s what to do about it

    Linda Garcia, Texas House Representative, author of Wealth Warrior: 8 Steps for Communities of Color to Conquer the Stock Market, and public speaker, is dedicated to empowering lower-income families and those without access to investing resources through financial literacy. Her podcast, Investies, tackles real-money topics, demystifies investing, and explores crucial areas like the stock market, money management, and the impact of interest rates on personal finances. Linda’s work advocates for financial independence and champions equity and representation for all. As a financial feminist, she encourages listeners to take control of their financial futures. Through her podcast and advocacy, Linda tackles the intersection of financial education, the economy, and geopolitics, helping lower-income communities build wealth and secure their place in today’s financial landscape. Linda examines the most recent jobs report–and while we added 228,000 jobs to the market, the unemployment rate increased from 4.1% to 4.2%. Normally, positive jobs numbers would be reflected positively in the stock market, but the market isn’t celebrating at all. Trump’s tariffs and resulting reciprocal tariffs from trading partners like China are causing stock market chaos. Speaking of stock market chaos… We’ve been waiting and wondering if and when the market was going to crash. It is now. This is not the time to sell off your entire portfolio. This is the time to hold on–that will only cause the stock market to crash further. This is the time to invest in those blue chip stocks that you normally can’t afford. This is the time to hold fast and have patience, and manage your emotions as an investor. Remember: we’ve seen market crashes before. We’re currently headed towards a bear market, which means that yes, the stock market is crashing, or has crashed (depending on when you listen to this). And yes, the catalyst is Trump’s tariffs, and the possibility of a full-blown global trade war.

    Q1: From the archive: How to build your investment portfolio during downmarket eras, plus: the stock market’s latest small rebound & why the GDP matters when it comes to recessions

Through her podcast and advocacy, Linda tackles the intersection of financial education, the economy, and geopolitics, helping lower-income communities build wealth and secure their place in today’s financial landscape.This week, Linda looks into the latest stock market trends. You’ve probably noticed that the market has been on a downward trajectory, but the Dow Jones, the S&P 500, and the NASDAQ are all seeing modest rebounds. We’re not in rally territory at all–but at least the stock market isn’t still plummeting. It’s likely that what we’re seeing is the stock market girding itself for more economic turmoil to come–between Tariffs and Trump’s divisive policies. Linda also analyzes the last six months of the stock market–from unprecedented and unstable growth since the 2024 re-election of Trump, to the market’s recent nosedive. She also provides advice for investors on how to meet the stock market in its current state. Linda also unpacks what the GDP is, and what it means when it comes to recessions. The next GDP numbers will be released on April 30, 2025; we will know then whether or not we are technically in a recession.There are so many ways to make the stock market work for you as you gain more experience as an investor.

The Dow, the SMP500, and the NASDAQ have all seen swings and drops following the announcement of the tariffs–and the stock market will continue to oscillate due to the instability of the news cycle. Economists are concerned about the possibility of an upcoming recession, due to the potential instability of the GDP, and upcoming contractions in American imports and exports.
