What the hell took the stock market so long to realize that Biden tax plan ?  I thought the markets were discounting mechanisms

STATIC analysis says that if you make a million dollars selling a million apples for $1 each, then you will make a million million by raising the price $1,000,000 per apple.

 

But Corporations don't really pay taxes  (customers do in pass-through higher prices)

 

Thus this may be a bit misleading:

 

S&P 500: tax hit (estimated S&P 500 earnings impact based on Biden’s proposals )

  •  Technology                     down 9.2%
  • Health care                     down 8.4%
  • Communication services  down 8.2%
  • Consumer discretionary   down 7.5%
  • Financials                         down 6.5%

 

 

 

The old adage is BS:Taxes are passed to customers as higher prices, but then, as with the last tax cut, corporations use the cut for buy backs and exec bonuses...they keep it.    I haven't heard of any corporations passing the cut back to the customer.  Instead, the customer inherits the resulting increase in fiscal deficet created by the cut.

As the ST support continuously to hold it looks to me that this is likely just a consolidation at highs.  After it is done we should expect higher highs .....................
