Tariffs, Trade Wars... What Does It Mean for Your Portfolio?

  • Summary

  • The news is ablaze with tariffs and trade wars these days, as the Trump administration enacts tariffs, or taxes essentially, on foreign produced goods entering the US. The news being what it is, of course every outlet's take is biased toward whichever end of the political spectrum they support, with plenty of supposition and fearmongering. In today's episode, Matt Murphy cuts through the noise and explains in clear terms the ideas behind tariffs, the economic concept of comparitive advantage, and some of the challenges the US is facing with trade deficits and national debt.

    Most importantly, Matt reminds us that in the real world economics is complex, and no one really knows what the impact of tariffs will be. They do have real impact on companies and their profit margins, but companies operate in different competitive environments with different challenges and not all will feel the impact equally.
