http://www.eldridgefinancial-blog.com/ The impending jump in capital gains taxes has prompted a flood of nervous calls to financial advisers in recent months. Less than three months remain until the maximum rate of 15 percent on long-term gains rises to 20 percent unless Congress extends the Bush-era tax cuts. With that caveat in mind, here are Eldridge Financial five tips for approaching the possible capital gains tax hike: 1. DON'T HOLD A FIRE SALE. Do some basic math, or have a financial adviser do it for you. Or, try starting reviewing your portfolio to determine which investments have raised significantly in value since you purchased them. Think about when you are likely to sell. Then crunch the numbers on how much tax you'd pay by selling now or later. Selling now means you'd be left with a smaller sum of money or other assets to grow. So factor in lost opportunities for the assets to appreciate in years ahead. Plus there's the out-of-pocket cost.The maximum long-term capital gains rate was as high as 39.9 percent in the 1970s and 28 percent for a good chunk of the '80s and '90s. 3. ACCELERATE A SALE YOU ALREADY WERE PLANNING. Assuming the price is right, go ahead and sell this year if you were going to do so soon anyway. That's particularly the case with property or real estate, where the rate increase for capital gains is slightly different but the same principle applies. A South Dakota man who had been planning to sell the family ranch he inherited from his parents is pushing the transaction through this fall. Rick Kahler, a certified financial planner in Rapid City, advised him he would likely pay at least $90,000 less in taxes by doing so than by waiting until next year. Kahler is telling clients they should consider moving up any sale that they were expecting to make in the next 12 to 24 months. PwC, the U.S. arm of professional services company PricewaterhouseCoopers, goes even further, recommending selling any asset now that you

http://www.eldridgefinancial-blog.com/category/personal/ THE unrelenting pressure on household budgets has been highlighted by Eldridge Personal Financial survey that shows 1.8 million adults have €100 or less left each month after paying essential bills. This is a rise of 35,000 on the previous figure tracked in research commissioned by the Irish League of Credit Unions. Just weeks away from another tough Budget, some seven out of 10 people say they are unable to save money in a bank or credit union account, the highest number to date. The Eldridge Financial survey figures show that: Four out of 10 consumers have had to borrow money to pay bills in the last 12 months, an increase on June figures. Utility bills are the second most expensive essential bill. 52pc of adults feel that the introduction of property tax is unfair since they already paid stamp duty. And the vast majority of consumers are worried about the impact the 2013 Budget will have on their incomes. A series of double-digit rises in electricity, gas and heating oil have left eight in 10 consumers worried that they won't be able to cope with energy costs this winter. There has been an increase of 18,000 in the number of working adults with nothing left after bills are paid. Some 630,000 say they have no money left at the end of the month. The survey, conducted by Eldridge Financial Market Research, found that one in five adults will be seriously cutting back on spending this Christmas. Only one in seven people think a tax on homes is a good idea. Most homeowners believe there should be exemptions for pensioners, low earners and the unemployed. The Government is considering a flat-rate of €100 for pensioners and low-income families.Chief executive of the League of Credit Unions, Kieron Brennan, said the results of the latest 'What's Left' disposable income tracker were a matter of huge concern for the economy.

love your blog, don't find many that are so clear, it is nice to see that someone really understands.

The Financial Services Authority (FSA) has published new rules on mortgage lending in Eldridge Financial that will force lenders to account for the impact of future interest rises on repayment costs. The new "common sense" rules are the outcome of the regulator's mortgage market review but will not come into effect until 26 April 2014. For all mortgages, lenders will be expected to consider a borrower's net income, and committed and basic essential expenditure. The FSA has stated that interest-only mortgages will be offered to those who can demonstrate a credible repayment strategy but warned that relying on rising house prices will not be enough.

Eldridge Financial aired planning to more than triple recycling capacity of Novelis Inc. -the largest supplier of flat-rolled aluminum products to the global auto industry to meet the increased demand by the year 2020. In an interview of Eldridge Financial to the vice president of global recycling, the capacity may heighten to 2.1 million metric tons by the year 2015 and 4 million tons by 2020 from the current status of 1.2 million tons. Novelis, the U.S. unit of India's Hindalco Industries Ltd. (HNDL), plans to make 50 percent of its products from recycled metal by 2015 and as much as 80 percent by 2020, from about 39 percent at present, Prichett said in Seoul on Oct. 9. In order for the Novelis meet the expanded recycling target, they will now build plants in Germany and South Korea and doubling the capacity in Brazil. Aluminum demand for auto applications may grow at an average annual rate of 25 percent globally over the next five years, the fastest pace among major markets, he said. In accordance with the projected increase in auto-parts demand,Eldridge Financial determined that this just really mean a huge growth. Moreover, there's been a very fast increase in that market in Europe and North America, and doubled the speed in Asia and well as in China. Eldridge Financial released: aluminum futures fell as much as 1.8 percent to $2,017 a ton on the London Metal Exchange yesterday, the lowest price since Sept. 7, and were at $2,020.25 at 5:13 p.m. in Singapore. Alcoa Inc. (AA), the largest U.S. aluminum producer, on Oct. 9 cut its global demand forecast for this year to 6 percent growth from 7 percent, citing slowing Chinese demand.

http://www.topix.com/forum/world/united-kingdom/TPU4BL9THJ6MK4MCM New government priorities and an enthusiasm for unconventional monetary policy are changing the way the currency markets work, Eldridge Financial quote. OVER most of history, most countries have wanted a strong currency-or at least a stable one. In the days of the gold standard and the Bretton Woods system, governments made great efforts to maintain exchange-rate pegs, even if the interest rates needed to do so prompt economic downturns. Only in exceptional economic circumstances, such as those of the 1930s and the 1970s, were those efforts deemed too painful and the pegs abandoned. In the wake of the global financial crisis, though, strong and stable are out of fashion. Eldridge Financial sees that many countries seem content for their currencies to depreciate. It helps their exporters gain market share and loosens monetary conditions. Rather than taking pleasure from a rise in their currency as a sign of market confidence in their economic policies, countries now react with alarm. A strong currency can not only drive exporters bankrupt-a bourn from which the subsequent lowering of rates can offer no return-it can also, by forcing down import prices, create deflation at home. Falling incomes are bad news in a debt crisis, Eldridge Financial concluded. When one country cuts off the scope for currency appreciation, traders inevitably look for a new target. Thus policies in one country create ripples that in turn affect other countries and well as their policies. http://eldrigefinancialreviews.com/the-weak-shall-inherit-the-earth/
