🌎 NEW EPISODE:

Understanding Tariffs and Trade Wars

How did we get here, and what does it mean for your financial future?

In this eye-opening conversation with Consumer Goods Analyst Michael Dawahare, we discuss the complex relationship between international trade, national security, and economic growth.

Did you know that many countries still maintain tariffs of 700% on American goods while enjoying nearly free access to our markets?

Or that critical industries like pharmaceuticals and semiconductor manufacturing have been offshored to potential adversaries?

Michael explains: "It's been a 40 to 80 year trade war already. And so now we're fighting back and people are saying, we've started a trade war."

This episode provides context you won't hear in standard news coverage - insights that could help you better understand market volatility and make smarter investment decisions.
