It has been a wild ride in the markets since “Liberation Day.” With global reactions to Trump’s aggressive tariff plan, intraday swings ranging from 2% to 10%, and a surprise 90-day suspension of tariffs, the volatility is far from over.
In this episode, we discuss Trump’s escalating trade war with China, the massive moves in the bond markets, what we're hearing from companies ahead of earnings season, and how the Henssler Ten Year Rule helped keep investors in the market during the tariff turmoil.
However, if you're experiencing market fatigue after tracking every move all week, we also have a lighter episode we’re publishing this week where we discuss the fact that Hermès Birkin bags have averaged an annual increase in value of 14.2%, outperforming the S&P 500—but are they truly investments?
We explore the world of alternative investments in collectibles, including designer handbags, sneakers, cars, fine art, baseball cards, and more. Should these luxury items be part of your portfolio? Investors often view illiquid assets positively because they’re tangible, whereas stock investments can be up one minute and down the next.
Join hosts Nick Antonucci, CVA, CEPA, Director of Research, and Managing Associates K.C. Smith, CFP®, CEPA, and D.J. Barker, CWS®, and Kelly-Lynne Scalice on Henssler Money Talks as they explore key financial strategies to help investors navigate market uncertainty.
