  • Knowledgeable but got very political

    Loved The Trade Guys and have always found them, for years, to be factual and present rational information.

Pretty telling they’re angry about th... more

  • The Return of Tariff Man

    Great Podcast!

    If the USA is going to match other countries tariffs, should the tactic be to negotiate to cancel their tariffs?

    We have the buying power.

    Matching their tariffs will create more inflation around the world, doesn’t make any sense…

    I am in finance dealing with 25% tariffs since 2018, my USA small company pays these tariffs, we had to increase our product prices to stay in the market.

    A thoughtful, concise and informative podcast. Count me in as a fan. The talks are timely and even a reasonably educated layman can understand the points Bill and Scott are making.

    A big plus: 30 or so minutes per podcast - very easy to digest!
