Barclays: Trump Presidency May Unleash Reagan-Era Stock Boom

Donald Trump’s presidency may unleash the same kind of investor enthusiasm that drove stocks to record levels during the boom times of President Ronald Reagan, according to strategists at Barclays Capital.

Damn!!!!


The tax-free dividend allowance for shareholders will also be cut from £5,000 to £2,000. Some two million people - most of them on low or middle incomes - will be affected as the Exchequer pockets up to £900million extra a year.

Shares in Barclays and StanChart continued gaining altitude alongside other financials following the release of better than expected private sector payrolls figures in the States.
Private sector payrolls in the US jumped by 298,000 in February, according to consultancy ADP, easily outpacing estimates for a gain of 190,000.
Coming two days before the release of the official non-farm payrolls reports in the US, the figures led some analysts to revise their forecasts for that number upwards and may have helped to cement expectations of another rate hike at the Fed's 15 March meeting.
In a related note, on 7 March analysts at Goldman Sachs reiterated their 'Buy' recommendation on StanChart.
"It is most exposed to the US rate hike cycle (as c.50% of its rate-sensitive balance sheet is linked to USD and the absence of meaningful GBP exposure), and (2) see its strong capital position (4Q16 13.6% CET1 ratio) as a strong underpin for the recommencement of dividends during 2017."

Also see this......Families are penalised.

Any family which has a third or subsequent child born after April will not qualify for Child Tax Credit, which can be more than £2,000 per child. This will also apply to families claiming Universal Credit for the first time after April

The family element of child tax credits, worth £545 per year, will be abolished. So families in which the eldest child is born on or after 6 April will not receive this payment.

smurfy2001,
Director shareholders will see a tax break reduced on the dividends they receive.

The tax-free dividend allowance - which was only introduced last year - will be reduced from £5,000 to £2,000 from April 2018.

That will also affect people with large portfolios of shares.

Experts say that with an Isa allowance of £20,000 available to use from April, many investors will not need to worry.

[smurfy2001] 08/3/2017 16:11

Proposed changes: From 6 April 2016, the notional 10% tax credit on dividends is abolished. A £5,000 tax free dividend allowance is introduced. Dividends above this level are taxed at 7.5% (basic rate), 32.5% (higher rate), and 38.1% (additional rate)

[bernie37] 08/3/2017 16:07

Does the tax on dividends over £5000 apply to the private investors?

I've always liked MH. Stands for what he believes in and did a lot of good work with inner cities, particularly Liverpool which as a Tory took some backbone. Being sacked for holding an opposing view is pathetic.
