There’s no denying that most investors are feeling the effects of the trade war between China and the US
However, with Trump’s latest round of tariffs – people are starting to wonder if there’s going to be any light at the end of the proverbial tunnel.
While it’s difficult to say now – as it’s impossible to predict which way this war is going to end, or which side will walk away victorious…
It is important to understand that there are still ways to profit until the outcome is set in stone.
There always is….
The question is: will you be bold enough to take the leap?
So, tariffs…
What exactly IS a tariff? Well, according the old internet – it’s a “tax imposed by a government on goods and services imported from other countries that serves to increase the price and make imports less desirable, or at least less competitive, versus domestic goods and services.”
So, it’s a tax…
And politicians use these taxes to pressure other countries into lowering their prices or raising their spending – and Trump is using them to try and even the trade deficit between China and the US to ensure our relationship is fair.
Well, last year, the trade deficit between our two countries was sitting at $496.5 billion – which is just $3 billion and some change away from being a cool half a TRILLION dollars.
That’s a lot of cheddar…
So, it’s hard to blame Trump for trying to fix or at least lower the trade deficit to a level that’s much easier to manage.
To him and his administration – they see the trade war as their only course of action – using tariffs as their artillery…
And it’s wreaking HAVOC on the market.
So, what’s an investor to do?
With so much uncertainty – how can we as investors make any sort of money?
Well, there are a couple of stocks that seem to almost be “tariff-proof” …
And if you’re tired of trying to figure out if the stocks in your portfolio are going to get hammered – you may want to pay attention – as I’m going to give you the name of two stocks that may just survive this trade war unscathed.
The first?
Salesforce.com (CRM).
Salesforce.com is a software company that develops enterprise cloud computing solutions and services to companies around the world.
Cloud computing has become a HUGE part of the tech market – and with companies like saleforce.com, Adobe (ADBE), and Cisco (CSCO) leading the way when it comes to cloud and internet-based solutions…
It only seems like it’s going to get bigger.
And thus far, salesforce.com has found a way to keep its shareholders happy – and hold MOSTLY steady through the war. It had a hiccup earlier this month – but those things happen, and the losses were across the board…
So, a salesforce.com rally could be just around the corner.
Another company that could help to pad your losses while you’re waiting for this war to end is one of the biggest names in technology…
Microsoft (MSFT).
Yes, the company that Bill Gates built is still sitting pretty.
Just like salesforce.com had a little bit of a stumble – Microsoft felt a little pressure too – but not enough to cave in…
And the company has actually rebounded nicely from those same sell-off blues.
However, the good news is – these temporary dips seem to be just that…
Temporary.
There are a couple of factors that could keep tech en vogue – namely a strong dollar and a sharp pullback in the equities market – and either of those could keep stocks like Microsoft and salesforce.com as a couple of Wall Street darlings for a little bit longer…
But truly, only time can tell.
There are a lot of things to keep in mind these days while trying to make money in the market…
Which is why we choose to take a page out of Alfred E. Neuman’s book and say, “What? Me worry?”
We don’t have to worry…
When you invest your money using hard data as your point of reference – it’s a lot easier than it looks.
That’s why I started GorillaTrades – I was sick and tired of seeing people lose their money over emotional decisions.
I say, let the data take that stress off your shoulders – which is how the GorillaTrades system finds winning recommendations…
It crunches numbers and HARD data.
Why?
Because if we follow the data – the profits tend to not be far behind. It’s what has made GorillaTrades so successful…
And I believe it can help you reach an amazing level of success too.
That said…

Regardless of what you decide, you may want to take a second and long look at salesforce.com and/or Microsoft – they could be just what you need to make it through the trade war!
