Recently, U.S. President Trump announced a new tariff policy, imposing a 10% tariff on all trade partners and increasing it to 32% for countries with trade deficits. This policy has affected global stock markets, causing a significant drop in U.S. stocks and raising concerns among investors. Investment guru Warren Buffett reminded investors to remain calm during periods of extreme volatility in the stock market and to reference Rudyard Kipling's poetry, emphasizing the importance of sticking to a long-term investment plan in the face of market changes. According to data from Beiya Company, the S&P 500 index has fallen 21 times since 1980, and Buffett recommends continuing to invest during stock market fluctuations.

Trump announces new tariff policy. Yesterday, U.S. President Trump introduced new tariff measures imposing a 32% tariff on Taiwan. This action not only affected the U.S. stock market but also led to severe fluctuations in global markets. In the face of such market conditions, "stock god" Buffett once stated that one should remain calm during drastic declines in the stock market.

According to Trump's announcement, all trading partners will be subject to a 10% tariff, while countries that have a trade deficit with the U.S. will face higher tax rates. This policy severely impacted U.S. stocks, causing the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the S&P 500 Index to decline, leaving investors feeling uneasy.

According to reports, Buffett mentioned in his 2017 letter to shareholders that it is impossible to predict short-term declines in stock prices. He cited wisdom from Kipling's poem "If," written in 1895, encouraging investors to remain calm when those around them lose their minds, to patiently wait, and not to feel weary from waiting; to continue trusting oneself when everyone else doubts.

Looking back, Buffett's mention of "stock market declines" may refer to the bear market from 2007 to 2009 when the S&P 500 Index dropped over 50%. According to data from Baird, since 1980, the S&P 500 Index has experienced 21 declines of 10% or more, with an average annual decline of 14%. Buffett suggested that in the face of market volatility, investors should adhere to a long-term investment plan and continue to invest funds.
