My portfolio took a major hit on April 3 and 4, with losses surpassing previous records. Yet, despite the pain, I remain optimistic. Market corrections are essential for long-term wealth building. Though short-term declines are difficult, I view them as opportunities to improve my risk/reward and income potential. I'm eyeing undervalued opportunities, especially cyclical stocks. The current market weakness, amplified by tariffs, offers great buying potential for stocks like Union Pacific and Prologis, and many others.

I warned about inflation and higher rates - now tariffs add new risks. The markets are shaky, but I see opportunities in undervalued dividend stocks. My picks include a resilient railroad with pricing power, a building materials leader with strong growth, and a top warehouse REIT. All three trade at steep discounts, offer solid dividends, and have long-term upside despite short-term headwinds. Time to buy quality on sale.
