Rick Woldenberg runs two educational-toy businesses near Chicago, Learning Resources and hand2mind. The firms are considered to be among the world leaders in the development of over 2,000 experiential, hands-on learning materials, which are sold in more than 100 countries. But their products have been hit especially hard by President Donald Trump’s fluctuating global tariffs. Woldenberg’s companies sued last April to invalidate the tariffs as exceeding the president’s authority. The suit is now before the Supreme Court in one of the most economically important clashes in the country's history.

As global corporations await the American high court's ruling on the tariffs' legality, Woldenberg details their impact on his family-run firms, and how he's weathering the storm. Rick speaks with Carol Massar, Tim Stenovec and Bloomberg News Supreme Court Reporter on Bloomberg Businessweek Daily.

Morgan Stanley Chief Executive Officer Ted Pick started summing up his outlook after Wall Street’s banner year for trading with four words: “The setup is ideal.”

After Wall Street’s five giant banks reported a record $134 billion of trading revenue from last year and an upswing in dealmaking, Pick and peers agreed it’s poised to continue — albeit with caveats.

“As a student of these businesses for decades, I would bet you that 2021 is not the ceiling,” Goldman Sachs Group Inc. CEO David Solomon said, referring to the last record year for lenders’ trading businesses. “The world is set up at the moment to be incredibly constructive in 2026 for M&A and capital markets activity, and I think the likely scenario is it is a very, very good year.”

President Donald Trump’s turbulent policy changes and trade talks have kept investors on edge — but for bank traders that has kept paying off as clients rush to reposition their portfolios. At the same time, his administration’s deregulatory efforts and the Federal Reserve’s interest-rate cuts are reviving a moribund environment for mergers and acquisitions — quickly filling dealmakers’ pipelines.

As Morgan Stanley and Goldman posted quarterly results Thursday after reports from their largest rivals earlier in the week, the market-centric firms added to predictions for another bumper year for Wall Street operations. That contrasted with other corners of banking, such as credit-card units that have come under threat as Trump demands a cap on interest rates. Industry executives have been fielding questions about how they may respond to that, even as they themselves await information from the White House.

Bank CEOs Say $134 Billion Trading Record Is Just the Start

Carolyn Tisch Blodgett is the CEO and founder of Next 3, where she oversees the investment and management of a portfolio of assets in the sports, media and entertainment space. She invests across teams, leagues and technologies including Gotham FC of the National Women's Soccer League, TGL and Los Angeles Golf Club, LOVB, Transmit.Live, Jackpot.com and more.
