April 2025 Newsletter

Welcome to the APRIL edition of my DivGro 2.0 newsletter!

April has been a tumultuous month, kicked off by the Trump Administration's "liberation day" tariff announcements. The ensuing market reaction was furious, with stock indices falling by more than ten percent and wiping out over $6 trillion in market capitalization in just two days.

I'll write more about the impact of April's market chaos on my portfolio in next month's newsletter. In this edition, I'll focus on the actions I took in March to prepare for converting our IRAs to Roth IRAs later this year.
