<prompt> Human: I dont quite understand what is going on with this trade War thing, so please forgive me for my lack of knowledge. I have been planning on opening up a Roth IRA to begin saving for retirement, and planned on doing it when my next paycheck comes in tomorrow. However, Ive seen that this trade War thing with China is a very relevant news topic, and Im not sure how this affects investments. I was planning on doing the 2055 retirement plan with Vanguard.Would this global event affect the market, and should I hold off on opening the account? Again, sorry if the answer is obvious and Im not looking at it the right way, I just dont want to open up my account at the wrong time.  <response>: Yes it will affect the market. No nobody knows how it will affect it. You have 37 years so the market will correct itself after even the biggest recession by then. Invest now
