To be absolutely clear, I am not a fan of the chaos that is occurring in Washington. The SAP is literally down 4% today at 11:30 because of Trump’s Tariff order.  But buy low and sell high right?  Will it keep falling?  I don’t know but a 10% drop is a big deal and in the end the stock market will do what it usually does, grow. 

But today’s message is for all of my amazing former physics, physical science, and engineering students.  Well, anybody wanting to roll up their sleeves to work hard, be innovative and take a big risk, time to go for it.  For good or bad, the Trump administration is taking a slug hammer to status quo and there are going to be a lot of real opportunities (especially in manufacturing).  If you have dreams of creating a startup and/or building a factory, now is the time. 

Again, there is always high risk with starting your own business.  (to be clear I don’t assume any responsibility for that risk.)  And you will have to move fast because no one knows how long this moment will last.
