3 ETF Sectors Facing Tax Uncertainty

Fri, 21 Dec 2012 09:00:25 -0500

For investors, the last few months have been dominated by two words: fiscal cliff. The combination of automatic expiring tax breaks and across-the-board government spending cuts scheduled to become effective on January 1, 2013, has sent a shiver down the spine of market participants. The pending line in the sand was drawn during the last debt ceiling debate, as members of Congress couldn’t decide on how to cut spending/raise taxes enough. The resulting Budget Control Act plus the expiration of the Bush-era tax cuts was designed as motivation to get the Federal government to move and create a realistic solution to fixing the United States’s budget woes. The $600 billion in proposed cuts across defense, federal agencies and cabinet departments is certainly good motivation to get the job done.

Weathering Economic Headwinds: ETFs To Prepare Like Bill Gross

Wed, 12 Dec 2012 09:00:38 -0500

This month, legendary bond king Bill Gross published his investment outlook, aptly titled “Strawberry Fields – Forever?”, in which he warned investors to be prepared to face some “structural economic headwinds” in the next few years. In addition to the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis we still feel today, diminished productivity gains and the looming fiscal cliff, Gross points out other blaring red flags that investors need to pay attention to, as these critical factors will likely hamper economic growth in not only the United States, but also in other developed nations around the globe [see 101 ETF Lessons Every Financial Advisor Should Learn]. In recent years, the United States has experienced lackluster growth and painfully high levels of unemployment, and, at this point in time, our road to recovery still seems quite far away.
