Ep. 170 - OBBB

In Episode 170 of The Investor Professor Podcast, we break down the newly signed “One Big Beautiful Bill,” a sweeping piece of tax legislation that could significantly impact individuals, families, and business owners alike. From permanent 2017 tax cuts to expanded deductions for seniors, tip workers, charitable giving, and U.S.-assembled vehicle purchases, this episode walks you through the most important financial highlights—plus what they could mean for your personal tax planning going forward. We also explore the new “Trump Accounts” for newborns, the expiration of clean energy credits, and why having a smart tax strategy is just as important as picking the right investments.

The episode also recaps a busy week in earnings, with strong showings from Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, and Netflix—though even solid results didn’t prevent some post-earnings stock dips. We dive into the seasonality of market performance, the rise in M&A and IPO activity, and why the upcoming Fed meeting could add a layer of volatility. Whether you're an investor, business owner, or parent, this is the episode to help you make smarter moves in a fast-evolving economic landscape.
