Our timing isn’t usually as good as this, but on Tuesday, May 27th, Dave will be hosting the legendary Wall Street economist, Stephen Roach, on his webcast.
 
Stephen is not just a prominent economist and a former Fed staffer, but also former Chairman of Morgan Stanley Asia, and a Yale faculty member specializing in the US-China relationship. He introduced a course called “The Next China” and recently published a book titled “Accidental Conflict: America, China, and the Clash of False Narratives”.  
 
Dave has known Stephen for decades, before they were economic rivals in New York, and describes him as both a class act and a breath of fresh air. Dave believes there is no other North American, whether from academia, finance, or public policy, who possesses Stephen’s breadth of knowledge on bilateral economic policy related to US-China trade. Steve will share his views on how he thinks this trade war is going to end, whether it gets resolved or not, and in what fashion.
 
Join Dave and Stephen and find out how investors should be positioned for the road ahead over the near term and what outcome or series of outcomes would define a resolution, assuming there is one to be had.
