Did President Trump just nuke the stock market with his tariffs. President Trump may have a hidden agenda?  Joe Cantu, describes 6 factors to offset tariffs. #1 currency adjustments,  #2. And talking about company supply chains, diversification. #3. As nations, we can negotiate with each other. Actually, lower tariffs. The amazing things that actually lowers inflation.  When both parties remove their tariffs, it leads directly to lower prices and lower inflation.  #4 subsidies to local industries could be provided. The United States could give tax breaks and money to local industries to alleviate the burden of tariffs #5. Alternate country shifts we may look to other countries to strengthen new trade relations, which could offset losses from tariffs. #6. Lowering Interest rates provide numerous benefits and may be one of President Trump's hidden weapons. After all, he was a real estate tycoon, and he absolutely loves low interest rates. 6th factor to offset tariffs, which is the most powerful.  So, in conclusion, remember in President Trump's first term we had low gasoline prices. Were energy Independent. We had lower taxes; we had low inflation and low interest rates. Now, I believe these tariffs may be a method to his madness. Again, because there are several avenues to explore currency adjustments. Supply chain diversification negotiations with the US could lower tariffs and that leads directly to lower inflation. He could provide subsidies to lower the price of goods. For our products and services as a vendor, we can shift to other countries for our products. And finally, lowering interest rates has numerous advantages for businesses and inflation. So, you see, it is possible that its madness may lead to lower prices and inflation these tariffs. Are just one chapter, and President Trump's book. It's just being written. Let's see how it ends. And let's not panic.

How to make money in the stock market? It's obviously buy low and sell high. Is when the market is down, people are afraid. Uncertainty causes fear. And fear creates selling and volatility in the market. And I have another video that talks about uncertainty and how to predict the long-term direction of the market. However, I made this video for our clients so y'all can see the long term one year price target of these stocks in other. What are some of the stocks we own and where are they going? This is also a good video for advanced retirement investors because it teaches you. A main concept on how to make money in the stock market by analyzing price targets. So what? Going to do in this video is we're actually going to look into the future. Of some of the very best stocks in America, of which you, our clients out there own several of these positions. So, one of the hidden truths out there, and I call it a hidden truth. Is because you have to uncover. So, to speak. Uncover the price target. It's not readily available. It's not published in the newspapers. You typically have to get it through a research company. But it provides a valuable, valuable item of information. On the prediction of the future of a stock price. And I call it uncovering because you do have to have some research capabilities, programs to find these numbers. What is the one year price target of a stock? We have analyst on Wall Street who predict. The 12 month price target of a stock. It's actually predicting the future of where stock is going. They write a research report. And they publish it. For example, if you're the beverage analyst and you follow Coca-Cola and Pepsi, then you will write a research report on that saying what you think that stock price will be in a year. We will be looking at the one year price target of some of the positions that we own here at Cantu Tactical Wealth Management. Many of you clients will be familiar with some of these stocks because they're in your retirement accounts. But I will show you where the stock is going in our opinion. I have reviewed 20 to 40 different analyst price targets to come up with these numbers. Since I also have people listening on a podcast, maybe driving to work, I will be naming the names and the prices. So there's Apple, Amazon, Broadcom, Costco, Meta platforms, also known as Facebook, NVIDIA, Netflix, Palantir, Royal Caribbean, and Walmart. Now let me go through some of the prices and price targets. So Apple, for example, trading as a February 27th, 2025. Is $237 the all time high for the stock? Is $260, yet the one year price target is $278. Amazon trading at $210.00. All time high price was $242 when your price target 264 dollars. Broadcom $200 all time high price 251 dollars one year price target $250 Costco 1030 dollars all time high price 1078 dollars. One year price target 1096 dollars meta platforms trading at 663 dollars. All time
