The Other Policy Choices That Matter

This podcast discusses the impact of U.S. policy on the market, focusing on areas beyond tariffs. The speaker highlights three examples: the potential undervaluation of clean energy stocks due to perceived Inflation Reduction Act repeal risk, the manageable impact of Medicaid cuts on managed care companies, and anticipated delays in medical technology approvals due to FDA staffing shortages. The podcast advises investors to consider these sectoral impacts alongside the ongoing uncertainty surrounding tariffs. Specifically, it mentions a letter signed by 18 Republicans urging protection of energy tax credits in the IRA as a key factor influencing clean energy stock valuations. The overall message encourages a broader perspective on U.S. policy's market effects.
