February 22, 2025 What to Do When You Are Fired from Your Job and How to Prepare for the Future "You're fired!" That scary predicament made Trump famous in The Apprentice. The iconic phrase turned Donald into a reality TV star, consolidating his larger-than-life persona as a celebrity businessman. As President and Convict in Chief, Trump continues to garner attention by firing federal employees. There will be a record number of Americans losing their jobs this year.  Firing people is the new black. Corporate America will surely follow Trump's lead and fire often and proactively to intimidate the workforce into higher productivity. Firing creates a type of "tournament mentality" that helps employers squeeze productivity from those who are afraid of losing their jobs and have the means to dedicate single heartedly to the mission of serving their bosses.  Losing a job can be a deeply stressful and overwhelming experience. Whether the termination is expected or ...

February 22, 2025 Is Trump taking America back to inflation, unemployment, and stagnation? We love the Donald. He's the essence of the dark side of the American Spirit yet our spirit nonetheless. For the English and most Western Europeans, the Donald is the incarnation of the America First revolutionary and greedy spirit. For liberals, moderates, and true republicans (believers in the republican form of government), the Donald is a despicable king wannabe. For us, he's an useful idiot running a trial and error experiment that will help all of us one way or another. The Donald is a once in a hundred years, 78-year old cellular network of contradictions, risks, and potential rewards. For good or bad, the Donald will die relatively soon, most likely of a massive heart attack.  In the meantime, President Donald Trump's economic policies continue sparking debate regarding their potential to lead the United States toward high inflation, elevated unemployment, increased deficits, ...

February 18, 2025 Is it a good idea to invest in Chinese technology stocks? Yes. The #1 rule of investing is diversification. It's not a bad idea at all to consider investing a little (e.g. 2% - 5%) of your portfolio in the Chinese technology sector. It has done relatively well in the past 20 years and it can be expected to remain relatively strong in the next 20 years. It could prove to be a good hedge in the long run. China is the second largest economy in the world after the United States. China also has the most billionaires in the world after the United States. Most Chinese billionaires come from the technology sector.  Creatix recommends getting exposure to the Chinese technology stocks indirectly via an exchange traded fund. Our recommendation is to consider buying some shares of the iShares MSCI China Multisector Tech ETF (Ticker TCHI).  The TCHI ETF is designed to track the performance of large and mid-cap Chinese companies leading in technological innovation. It offe...

February 17, 2025 Is your portfolio ready for a Trumpression?  Some say that the two main engines of economic growth in the United States are immigration and federal spending. President Trump is cutting both. If we are lucky, other engines such as innovation and lower taxes will carry the day and propel us forward. If we are unlucky, stagnation could set in, leading to a recession (a Trumpcession), or even a depression (Trumression).  President Trump is massively increasing unemployment of federal workers. Under the advice of African entrepreneur Elon Musk, the President has fired hundreds of thousands of federal employees. That is an immediate and direct increase in unemployment, which should be noticeable even if very slightly.  President Trump is also massively deporting illegal aliens. That will not have a direct impact on unemployment figures because the detainees and deportees will not file for unemployment benefits. However, deportations may have a significantly ad...
