http://ift.tt/2nhfdwz
LONDON (Reuters) – In December, one of the trades of 2017 for the big financial investors who play on global political and economic risk was the spread of populism in Europe and the threat that might pose to the future of the euro.

Avoiding the IRA Beneficiary Tax Trap

http://ift.tt/eA8V8J
Be careful who inherits your IRA, and be smart about how they are allowed to do it. It could save them a potentially 40% tax hit.

http://ift.tt/2pcNSkA
Reuters: Beijing housing loans fall 20 percent as curbs mount, market cools

Mortgage lending was about 40 percent or more of total lending over the past year. Beijing is not China, but Beijing’s housing policies are expected to be rolled out across the nation. Who will make up for the missing mortgage borrowers?

7 Stocks to Buy on the Next Big Market Dip

http://ift.tt/2qSCeIg

realty.jpg

It has been quiet out there. The CBOE Volatility Index — better known as the VIX — just hit its lowest levels since 2007. Moves of even 100 points on the Dow are rare these days, and even most commodities markets have been pretty tame.

Federal Reserve meetings … bombast from President Donald Trump … European elections that could potentially blow up the European Union … It seems that nothing gets more than a casual shrug from Mr. Market these days.

I’m not complaining, of course. Complaining about a market that’s too calm is like complaining about having too much money. We should enjoy this calm while we can because if stock market history has taught us anything, it is that this won’t last forever.

There will be another stock market correction. I can’t tell you when, of course. For all I know, it might be starting today. But when it comes, it pays to be ready for it by having cash on hand and by knowing what you want to buy ahead of time.

So today, I’m going to make a list of seven stocks I’d love to snap up during the next stock correction. All are fantastic stocks I’d be happy owning for years, if not forever. But most are still looking a little stretched at this point, so be patient and wait for your moment.

The Departing Remarks of Federal Reserve Governor Daniel K. Tarullo

http://ift.tt/eA8V8J
Posted by Daniel K. Tarullo, formerly U.S. Federal Reserve Board of Governors, on Monday, May 1, 2017

Editor’s Note: Daniel K. Tarullo is former Governor of the Federal Reserve System. This post is based on Mr. Tarullo’s recent remarks at the Woodrow Wilson School, available here.

Tomorrow [April 5, 2017] is my last day at the Federal Reserve. So in this, my final official speech, it seems appropriate to offer a broad perspective on how financial regulation changed after the crisis. In a moment, I shall offer a few thoughts along these lines. Then I am going to address in some detail the capital requirements we have put in place, including our stress testing program. Eight years at the Federal Reserve has only reinforced my belief that strong capital requirements are central to a safe and stable financial system. It is important for the public to understand why this is so, especially at a moment when there is so much talk of changes to financial regulation.

Global Climate Change and Sustainability Financial Reporting: An Unstoppable Force with or without Trump

http://ift.tt/eA8V8J
Posted by Linda M. Lowson, Global ESG Regulatory Academy, on Sunday, April 30, 2017

Editor’s Note: Linda M. Lowson is Chief Executive Officer of the Global ESG Regulatory Academy and Editor-in-Chief of an ABA special publication on Climate Change and Sustainability Financial Reporting. This post is based on a recent publication by Ms. Lowson. Additional posts addressing legal and financial implications of the Trump administration are available here.

Climate Change and Sustainability Financial Reporting (CCSFR) is a complex, swiftly evolving, and now crucial area for issuers and capital providers globally. It has arrived front-and-center in global capital markets with the entrance of G20/Financial Stability Board (FSB) oversight. The Trump Administration’s resolute efforts to retract, revoke, or otherwise invalidate the climate protection progress made by the Obama Administration, as well as Trump Executive Orders aimed at scaling back financial regulation, will not diminish or derail the global tidal wave of investor demand for “full and fair” CCSFR, nor will Trump Administration actions alter or impede the seismic shift of global governmental support for this disclosure.

Automating the Federal Reserve would be glorious

http://ift.tt/2oi6QWy

A rules-based central bank would be a major win
When I first heard about the idea of a rules-based Fed I scoffed, like most people. To my thinking, using a simple rule like the Taylor Rule would be stupid because it would miss all the nuances that go into analyzing the economy and setting rates.
