The market went bonkers, it dropped like a rock, Over sixteen hundred points—oh what a shock! It tumbled and fumbled, a slippery slide, Because tariffs were coming—nowhere to hide!

Trump stood tall with a confident grin, Said, “We’re slicing and dicing the trouble within. The U.S. is sick, but surgery’s grand, We’ll heal it with tariffs, just like I planned!”

Ten percent here and much more for some, Especially China—oh boy, did that stun! The EU got whacked, investors all fled, They stared at their screens full of panic and dread.

“The world’s been unfair,” the president cried, “They’ve taken our cookies, our candy, our pride! Then stocks took a dive and the markets darkly turned, And Trump pulled a Nero and golfed while Rome burned.

Just out of curiosity, if you know the market is gonna tank like crazy, isn't that when you try to short stocks? But I suppose that doesn't work when everybody sees the way the wind is blowing.
I'm just trying to understand how somebody can profit from this madness, because surely someone is, right?
If only by buying stocks for cheap or something... ... right?

Being a passive investor, I just consider everything is on sale and just keep doing my normal monthly purchases of index funds.
