On This Episode:
It’s been a busy six weeks to start 2025 but few things have gotten the attention of investors as tariffs. The opinions about the effectiveness of tariffs are wide-ranging so we’re going to take both sides of the argument today on our roundtable discussion. Ron Wyatt, CFP®, CIMA®, CPWA® takes the role of pro-tariff while Nick Lewandowski, CFA®, CFP® argues from the anti-tariff perspective. This dynamic setup allows for a balanced exploration of the implications tariffs have on the economy, consumer prices, and national security.
We’ll explore the implications of tariffs on the economy, consumer prices, and national security. From defining what tariffs are to discussing their potential effects on inflation and market volatility, we’ll try to provide a comprehensive overview of a critical economic issue.
