Ep 17: Retirement Alternatives, China Chip Fee, OBBBA Book vs Tax Gap

This week, Lee and Eric break down a new executive order directing regulators to consider allowing private equity, real estate, and other alternative investments in retirement accounts, and what that could mean for business owners and employees. They also examine a new 15% fee on semiconductor chip sales from AMD and Nvidia to China, discussing its potential implications for trade and U.S. economic strategy.

The episode wraps with an explanation of how recent OBBBA changes are affecting the gap between book and tax income, and what business owners can do to prepare. Learn more at:
