What are Trump's new tariffs and when do they take effect?
And Jeopardy, the 50-year-old TV show, does it still have the heat?
It's Friday, February 28th. Let's ride.
Good morning. It's Friday. You made it. And I encourage you all to start getting those neck muscles loose this morning because tonight you should be looking skyward. A rare celestial event is on display as all seven planets in our solar system, apart from Earth, will be visible. So Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune, all visible tonight in what is called a planetary parade. Toby, if someone wanted to see all the members of our solar system strutting their stuff, how should they go about doing that?
All right, here is the game plan, Skywatchers. Look for Mercury in Saturn soon after the sun goes down right near where the sun went down. Binoculars are encouraged. Then once night starts to fall, look to the western sky for a very bright dot. That is... Venus. High overhead is Jupiter, which will also look like a bright star. Rotate back towards the east, but keep looking up and you'll get a view of the reddish Mars. Uranus and Neptune are up there as well, I promise, but will be so faint you do need a telescope. However, for those hoping to see a reunion with Pluto, don't get your hopes up. The dwarf planet that was demoted to that status all the way back in 2006 will be below the horizon during the parade.
Poor Pluto, never getting to participate. But get out there tonight, everyone, and take it all in. This really is a once-in-a-generation event. Now a word from our sponsor, LinkedIn Ads. And LinkedIn is known for its precise B2B targeting, helping you reach decision makers based on industry, role, and company. It's like Apple's Find My Friends if you're friends or B2B customers.
I was just going to say, B2B advertising is kind of like trying to find your friend in a crowd of a music festival. Sure, you can just yell their name into the void, hoping they hear you, or you could text them and actually track them down.
And meanwhile, some random guy named Todd who has nothing to do with you or your friend is hearing you yell. He's confused. You're confused. Everyone's confused.
And without LinkedIn ads, your B2B campaign is confused, too. You're basically shouting into the abyss, hoping the right person stumbles across your ad.
But with LinkedIn, your message actually reaches the right people. So you're not wasting budget on Todd.
But if your name is Todd, or if you're interested in better B2B targeting, consider testing out LinkedIn ad. LinkedIn will give you $100 credit on your next campaign. Just go to LinkedIn.com slash MBD. That's LinkedIn.com slash MBD. Terms and conditions apply only on LinkedIn ads.
How will the new tariffs impact the economy and consumer confidence?
Well, kind of like me at high school prom, it took a while, but we finally have a date for when Trump's tariffs against Canada and Mexico will take effect. Circle March 4th on your calendars, everyone. That is when the broad-based 25% duties will hit, with Trump citing drug trafficking into the U.S. as part of the motivation behind the import fee. Trump also announced he was slapping another 10% tariff on goods coming from China, which will be in addition to the previous 10% one imposed on February 4th. Of course, these tariffs, especially those against some of the U.S. 's biggest trading partners, are expected to add to the economic strain that has emerged early in the Trump presidency. The market has been shaky over the last week, with three of the four past trading days ending in the red. And the Consumer Confidence Reading from Wednesday showed sentiment fell the most since summer 2021. The threat of tariffs are also rattling business execs.
