Reward 500 Tiger-coinsHistorically, since 1971, April has been the second-strongest month for the three major US stock indexes. Additionally, in post-election years since 1950, April has consistently ranked among the top-performing months, maintaining its position as the second-best month on record.
As we enter April, does March’s sell-off present a buying opportunity?
The market fell into extreme fear on February 25, hitting a new low of 11 on March 4. After a brief rebound starting last Friday, investor sentiment has once again returned to extreme fear, with the current index at 21.
Does extreme fear signal a buying opportunity, or should we wait for new lows?
How will the tariff policy unfold: will volatility intensify?
Citigroup has outlined three different tariff scenarios and their corresponding market impacts:
Announcement of reciprocal tariffs only – minimal market reaction.
Reciprocal tariffs + value-added tax – the U.S. dollar may surge immediately, while global stock markets could decline.
Reciprocal tariffs + value-added tax + sector-specific tariffs – most severe market impact.
Tiger’s analysts believe the market may follow this script:
Tariff concerns → Market declines → Tariff policy is temporarily set → Market rebounds → New tariff concerns emerge → Market falls again, repeating this cycle until investors become desensitized or the tariff situation becomes clear.
If the downtrend continues in April, will you shift to a “antifragile investment” strategy?
The antifragile portfolio consists of equal-weighted assets:
US Treasury bonds (hedging against deflationary shocks) $iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF(TLT)$
$Gold - main 2506(GCmain)$ (protection against inflationary shocks)
Antifragile currencies (Swiss franc for its safe-haven status and Japanese yen for its role in carry trade unwinding)
This strategy aims to build a resilient portfolio during market downturns.
Meanwhile, Buffett’s $Berkshire Hathaway(BRK.B)$ surged 16% in Q1, significantly outperforming both the MAG 7 and broader market indices, which posted negative returns.
Do you believe in the “April Effect” rally, or will Trump’s tariff pressures lead to further declines?
How long could extreme fear persist?
Would you consider antifragile trades?

The tariff situation is a major risk. If the worst-case scenario unfolds, volatility could intensify, dragging markets lower. However, if investors grow desensitized to tariff news, temporary recoveries may follow. The key is whether tariffs remain a persistent concern or fade into the background.
An antifragile approach seems smart in this environment. Gold, Treasuries, and defensive currencies offer hedges against volatility, while Buffett’s strategy of holding strong companies is proving resilient. I’m not fully shifting strategies but see value in balancing growth with defensive plays.
