President Donald Trump's recent trade-war actions have significantly impacted Wall Street, leading to a decline in the traditional 'buy-the-dip' strategy that has dominated the market for decades. The uncertainty caused by Trump's trade-war chaos has led investors to reconsider their approach, with many now opting to lock in profits and adopt a more cautious stance. The sentiment shift is evident as sporadic tariff announcements have rattled equities, causing investors who previously stepped into market pullbacks to experience losses. This change reflects a broader uncertainty about the economic outlook and who will be the new era's stock-market winners under Trump's policies, which have started silencing the buy-the-dip stock traders. Despite the market's reaction, individual investors who benefited from the bull run to record highs have not entirely lost faith, indicating a mixed response to the current market conditions.
