After having suffered the worst May since 1940 (Dow), equities have continued their sell-off into early June, amidst concerns about spreading European debt crisis, Chinese tightening and fading US recovery. The rally off the March 2009 lows was driven by liquidity, stimulus and improving economic and earnings data, particularly in the US. Now that government [...]]]></description>

After months of optimism and growing complacency last week brought a sudden reversal of market sentiment. Optimism was replaced by worry and fear. Confidence was erased, despite a 110 billion euro EU/IMF bailout package for Greece and good US economic data; fear of a sovereign debt meltdown in Europe contributed to Tuesday&#8217;s and Wednesday’s sell-off, [...]]]></description>

I think most Americans would agree taxes are heading higher. Yet, curiously, most may not care. (A Gallup survey shows 45% of Americans are happy with their tax rates and 3% believe them to be too low.) In fact, I suspect a significant portion of the population may welcome the tax increases with hardly concealed [...]]]></description>

UK still in recession
The UK today confirmed its position as the only G20 country still mired in recession. While revised upward from an earlier estimate of 0.3%, the economy contracted by 0.2% in the third quarter of 2009. 
In recent weeks analysts predicted that today&#8217;s figure would show the country has already exited the recession. [...]]]></description>

Bonus super-tax and new higher earner taxes
A new temporary super-tax on bank bonuses comes into effect immediately. Banks (incl. UK subsidiaries of foreign banks) will pay 50% tax on bonuses over £25,000 (to include shares, options and temporary salary increases). The [...]]]></description>
