If you haven’t guessed by now, this week’s theme in Market Insights was Inauguration Day.
Of course, that’s not to say other things weren’t happening in the market. Investors received two important inflation reports this week as well…
December’s Consumer Price Index (CPI) showed a 0.4% monthly increase – coming in slightly above the 0.3% forecast. And the Producer Price Index (PPI) increased by 0.2% – slightly below analysts’ expectations of a 0.3% rise. Both reports pointed to slowing inflation. As a result, investors are remaining cautiously optimistic for now.
But now, all eyes will be on Inauguration Day. And for good reason…
Who knows exactly what Donald Trump will do on his first day in office. But based on my research, I think we could see an unprecedented wealth-creating opportunity – starting right on day one.
In short, I believe $11.2 trillion is on the line. And I’m not the only one… Several billionaires are already preparing for what’s to come.
I don’t want you to get left behind. That’s why my “Elon in Charge” emergency briefing is still available – but it won’t be for long.
And in the meantime, here’s everything we talked about in Market Insights this week…
Monday: Donald Trump is about to return to the White House. Whether you like it or not, this is the situation. I think it’s fair to say that there’s a high probability we’ll see some major changes in a few sectors during his second term as commander in chief. That’s why it’s important that we’re prepared for what’s ahead now. Click here to read Trump 2.0: The Investment Impact of His Regulation Agenda.
Tuesday: With Inauguration Day just around the corner, it’s time to start thinking about what the next four years might look like. So this week, I’m doing exactly that – and discussing what they might bring to the economy and stock market. Today, we’ll focus on a trend that has been underway since former president Donald Trump’s first term: reshoring. Click here to read Made in America: The Reshoring Boom Under Trump.
Wednesday: We’ve talked about the trends and various sectors that could get a boost once former President Donald Trump is back in the White House next week. Today, we’re continuing that focus by diving into one often-overlooked area of the market – mergers and acquisitions, or M&A. And I think the next M&A surge is coming.

Thursday: Donald Trump’s tariff proposals have sparked intense debate over the last few months. But these tariffs could actually play a role in strengthening the economy, which in turn would boost the stock market. These incoming changes could present opportunities for growth in the coming years… which is why we need to get in position now. Click here to read Why Trump’s Tariffs Could Boost the Economy.
Friday: A long list of factors can move stocks throughout a year. Earnings growth is one of those factors. It has been one of the biggest drivers of higher stock prices during the current bull market. And it looks like that’s set to continue – especially with the incoming president floating a pro-business platform. Click here to read Earnings Are Soaring – and Stocks Are Set to Follow.
Here’s to the future,
