However, users should at least delete their device from the car’s system upon exiting if it’s a rental or Uber vehicle. A privacy spokeswoman for Uber told MarketWatch the company no longer has partnerships with those companies and discourages riders from syncing devices with driver’s vehicles. |

9/6/2018 4:09:07 PM Milton Friedman Astutely Critiqued the Inheritance Tax By Mark Skousen Editor, Forecasts & Strategies 09/06/2018 The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 not only reduced the federal corporate income tax rate to 21%, but it also doubled the federal estate and gift tax exemption to about $11.2 million for individuals, or about $22.4 million for married couples. That means that you and your spouse can either give away during your lifetime, or die owning, assets worth a combined $22.4 million and owe zero federal estate or gift tax. For the vast majority of Americans, this means your estate won’t have to pay any federal estate tax (known as the “death” tax). You may owe state inheritance taxes, however. Over the decades, economists have cautioned that estate and inheritance taxes distort investment decisions and estate plans. On the other hand, many political commentators -- ranging from John Stuart Mill to Karl Marx -- have favored steep estate and inheritance taxes, even up to rates of 100%. Mill and many other pundits argue that a large inheritance is not good for heirs and amounts to a free gift that can discourage hard work, thrift and other virtues. Warren Buffett and Bill Gates have urged their billionaire friends to take the “Giving Pledge,” in which one donates up to 50% of one's wealth to charitable causes. Dozens of billionaires have done so already. One major impetus to giving large amounts is that federal taxes upon one's death are avoided -- the rate can amount to 40%, plus applicable state taxes. Recently, Lanny Ebenstein, a professor of economics and philosophy at the University of California, Santa Barbara, sent me some of his correspondence with the late Milton Friedman. “I was especially taken with a letter from Milton Friedman arguing against an estate/inheritance tax at any level. He wrote: "We have altogether too many foundations, too many nonprofit institutions, too many groups that are spending somebody else's money trying to promote their own ideas, which includes our foundation. One of the main reasons for the proliferation of foundations has been the existence of the inheritance tax. It would be much better for the country if the accumulated assets of wealthy people, instead of being converted into museums, foundations and the like, were converted into factories, buildings, things that had real value. It would eliminate harm; it would produce good." (Letter of June 21, 2005) |

9/6/2018 11:49:36 PM https://banyanhill.com/consumer-staples-sector/ The consumer staples exchange-traded fund’s (ETF’s) dividend yield hit 3% in recent days. https://banyanhill.com/wp-content/uploads/wid1-final-5.jpg Why’s that a big deal? Remember, dividend yields and stock prices go in opposite directions. In this case, the lower the ETF’s stock price, the bigger its dividend is to investors who buy at that price. Here’s the important part… The ETF’s dividend yield has only been this high — 2.75% or higher — four other times in the past decade. In each of those times, the price of the ETF rose an average of 17% over the next four to five months. Check out the chart below, with the ETF’s dividend yield (the red line) transposed over its stock price (the black line): Consumer Staples Sector (Source: CapitalIQ) If I put those circled yields in a table, this is how a stock purchase works out in the following months… Consumer Staples Sector It’s also worth noting that in each of the four cases above, the broader stock market indexes — such as the S&P 500 — moved higher too. That’s not surprising, given that companies like Campbell Soup, Procter & Gamble and other biggies in this sector also make a big chunk of the index as well. But there’s also one outlier worth keeping in mind. Back in the early 2000s, overall dividend yields were lower, so the “2.75% or higher” level doesn’t apply here. But in the late 1990s, as the dot-com boom hit its final highs, the consumer staples ETF once more fell deeply out of favor with Wall Street. Between November 1999 and March 2000 — the same month the dot-com boom turned to bust — the consumer staples ETF fell 26% while its yield rose to a then-extreme high of 1.07%. |

9/8/2018 1:49:24 AM Orders up in 2018 https://ftrintel.com/news/ 09.06.18 ... surpassing last month’s total by 300 orders. Class 8 orders were again exceptionally strong in the U.S. market, with most OEM’s racking up great order months. Orders were even m/m and up 153% y/y. Orders continue their hot streak in 2018. Six of the top twelve order months ever, have occurred in the first eight months of this year. North American Class 8 orders for the past twelve months have now totaled 477,000 units. Carriers continue to scramble to get enough trucks on the road to handle the robust freight growth. The surging economy and vibrant manufacturing sector are stretching the logistics system to the limit. In some markets, goods are moving slower due to supply chain gridlocks, necessitating even more trucks to deliver goods. |
