Summary
As U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran dominate headlines, Brian Wiley and Jeremiah Bates break down what a Middle East escalation could mean for oil prices, inflation, and the stock market. They analyze the risk surrounding the Strait of Hormuz, discuss how markets have historically responded to geopolitical shocks, and explain why panic-driven decisions often do more damage than the events themselves. Most importantly, they outline how proper liquidity planning and structured allocation can protect investors from being forced into bad moves during volatile periods. The episode also features CPA Stephanie Helms, who unpacks the real details behind the new federal tax changes. From the fine print on "no tax on tips" and overtime pay to the new senior deduction for Social Security recipients and the complex auto loan interest deduction tied to VIN rules, the conversation exposes what actually qualifies and what doesn't. They also discuss state tax conformity issues, refund delays, and why some taxpayers may need to amend returns.
