The start of tariffs is finally underway (or is it?).

Interestingly the stocks that were up over the last week and yesterday are defensive domestic plays like MO (Altria - cigarettes and other nicotine delivery systems) -- up 2.6% and HSY (Hershey - fake chocolate and salty snacks) -- up 3.4% And FOX -- up 21% since the election. There is a whole lifestyle in those three.

SOTU will likely make no difference amid all the other chaos.
