AVFTCN 040 – Returning From A Hiatus, and Plans for 2026
I'm back. After a self-imposed hiatus for most of 2025, I'm returning to something I've been deeply missing... writing and speaking.

Trump’s pledge to raise the global baseline tariff rate from 10% to 15% is reverberating across markets, with investors now weighing whether a recent rally in overseas equities can hold.
