In this week’s episode of More for Your Money, John Berkley is joined by the Uncommon Cents Investing committee—Greg, Todd, and Carson—for a wide-ranging, fast-paced discussion on market trends, inflation, gold, government debt, and the evolving role of tariffs in economic strategy.

Drawing on insights from respected economist Lacy Hunt, the team explores whether deflation might be the next curveball for investors and how today’s policies echo some surprising historical parallels—like the Reagan era’s early pain and long-term gain. Along the way, they unpack the gold market, discuss the hidden cost of inflation on the middle class, and debate whether tariffs can be both a financial and geopolitical tool.

If you’re looking to connect the dots between interest rates, debt, inflation, and long-term investing, this one’s for you.
