Companies Say They're Ready to Move Supply Chains From China
A common theme is that they are ready to relocate supply chains if the cost of importing Chinese goods becomes prohibitive. "If there was a broad-based tariff on apparel, I think you could see a bit more of an acceleration of the migration out of China into other regions for apparel sourcing," Mitch Butier, chief executive officer of the California label producer, said during an Oct. 23 earnings call. A number of them have already moved out of China," Jean-Jacques Ruest, CEO of the Canadian railway company said during an Oct. 23 earnings call.

Suze Orman missed the point of retirement, and that’s why she went back to work
Suze Orman did a smackdown of the FIRE (Financial Independence/Retire Early) movement on Paula Pant’s podcast. Coach Carson posted a balanced, informative response, appreciating Suze’s admonition to be sure you have enough for a risk-free retirement. Suze enumerated a string “what can go wrong” scenarios as evidence that early retirement (on less than $10 million) leaves you vulnerable when life hands you lemons — a whole tree of lemons.

Strategies can be employed to reduce the amount of your win that is taxed, although they are best explored with the help of an experienced tax advisor. While it's anyone's guess who will end up winning the Mega Millions and Powerball jackpots, there's at least one guaranteed recipient of a chunk of the loot — the IRS. With the Mega Millions jackpot at $1.6 billion and Powerball's top prize at $620 million, that tax bill will be hefty even if the winner employs strategies to reduce their taxable income.

Tesla stock skyrockets after legendary short seller goes long
Tesla Inc. stock rallied more than 9% Tuesday after famed short seller Citron Research turned long on it, saying that the Model 3 is “a proven hit” and that many of the “warning signs” about the Silicon Valley car maker have proven to be insignificant. Citron’s note comes after the Silicon Valley car maker announced late Monday that it will report third-quarter results on Wednesday, much sooner than anticipated. “Rumors of the Tesla killers have been as constant and unfounded as Bob Lutz’s call for Tesla’s bankruptcy,” Citron said, taking a jab at the former General Motors Co.

Investors on Wall Street continue to contend with a choppy and uncertain trading environment, even among popular sectors like tech stocks. A growing chorus on Wall Street is sounding the alarm, with analysts at Morgan Stanley warning that the large-cap stocks in the S&P 500 are the only holdout from a “rolling bear market’ that has already savaged pretty much every other asset class, including small-cap stocks, high-yield bonds, and emerging market assets. The fact that the S&P 500 is once again below its 200-day moving average supports this thesis, weighed down by bank stocks.

Trump’s Tax Push to Help Middle Class Could Help Top Earners Too
It’s still unclear how Trump will propose to reduce the tax burden on middle-class Americans, but one of the most straightforward ways would be to lower rates by 10 percent for single filers making up to $82,500. U.S. income tax rates are graduated and income dollars get taxed in chunks as they move up through the brackets -- which means wealthy Americans would also get to apply the reduced rate on their first dollars of income. “A millionaire gets the same size tax cut,” said Kyle Pomerleau, an economist at the conservative Tax Foundation.

Lottery jackpot winners face big IRS tab
The jackpots will be subject to federal withholding, which is an immediate 24 percent before the winner ever receives a cent. Some states also impose a withholding tax, Clarence G. Kehoe, CPA and partner at public accounting firm Anchin, Block & Anchin, told FOX Business. The IRS will also tax the winnings at the highest federal income bracket, which now sits at 37 percent for individuals with incomes in excess of $500,000. You would owe any difference left over between that tax rate (37 percent) and the federal withholding rate (24 percent) when you file your tax return at the end of the year, K.
