Connection thesis
Geopolitical tensions related to trade with China (Greer's push for escalating trade war) could create uncertainty, causing a slight drag on the broader market (SPY) while investors rotate into perceived safe havens like MSFT. This rotation is a sign of risk aversion, not necessarily a complete market correction, but a potential for underperformance of growth-oriented tech relative to value.

Lesson
The prediction that escalating trade war tensions would negatively impact SPY in the immediate short term was incorrect; market movements can be more complex than simply reacting to political news, and even substantial events can be overshadowed by other market forces or delayed in their impact.
