U.S. stocks turned lower Thursday on news reports that President Biden is considering nearly doubling capital gains taxes on the wealthy.

Major indexes had been wavering between small gains and losses for much of the session before the swift shift in sentiment. The S&P 500 and the Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 1.2%, while the technology-heavy Nasdaq Composite fell 1.3%.

Bloomberg News reported Thursday afternoon that Mr. Biden is planning a capital gains tax increase to as high as 39.6%, an increase from the current 20%.

 Why is this a surprise to Wall Street? Biden 's platform clearly states the tax increase agenda.

When the tax increase will become effective?  Will it need to go thru the Congress?

Democrats have majorities in House & Senate. But may be Senate needs 60 votes to pass tax increase? I am not sure.

Same 'ol news they are just looking to sell. Why put capital to work at these prices? The market will come down to Wall Street's buy price, which means, when tech is cheap enough to run again, they'll be in. I ignore  that value vs. growth BS, its all about chasing performance, and tech is what accomplishes that. (JMHO)

Basically what you are saying is play the game as Wall Street wants you to play the game. Tesla stock is worth 10 times GM stock, while GM sales outnumber Tesla sales by  more than 10:1. Yeah Value is not where it's at.

fake news to me.......capital gains are taxed 26% in italy (and germany as well) and we are under a sh@it of statalism and communism designed to feed the unproductive rome and the south where the only things that work are their mafias and nepotism.........don' t know if I ever said it before, but I would give them for free to Morocco. 

In any case it doesn' t make any sense that the FED goes on printing like hell to substain the stock markets and then someone that counts more than the FED makes something to lead the stock markets down.........fake news

It might be a case of fake news......but you know if it's true instead, I' m starting to worry......Europeans with regards to how to tax are used to copy from everyone in the world.....here in italy, I' m waiting for the illiberal italian state to tax the air people breath

Since today's sudden drop was caused by the media re-reporting old news on Biden's plan on tax hike, it will be very interesting tomorrow ...............................
