Italy has doubled the flat tax on foreign income for wealthy new residents who have been flocking here to take advantage of it.

The €100,000 a year payment — which exempts people moving to the country from taxes on overseas earnings, gifts, and inheritance for 15yrs — will rise to €200,000. The previous €100,000 tax incentive was popular w/wealthy individuals but controversial among Italians, particularly in Milan, the business capital. The recent influx of the super-rich has been blamed for significantly increasing real estate prices and living costs. The increaed flat tax for the billionaires is still set at a level that would remain interesting to wealthy foreigners, FinMin Giorgetti said. Source: Bloomberg, HolgerZ

Interesting to see insiders with the most bearish flows in a decade.

Maybe just profit taking, or maybe they realize that current pricing is extreme relative to conditions. Source: Bob Elliott

30 years ago, careers were a straight line: Get an education ➡️ Secure a job ➡️ Climb the ladder ➡️ Retire

Today? It’s a loop: Learning ➡️ Working ➡️ Learning ➡️ Working ➡️ Repeat To thrive in this cycle, you should embrace lifelong learning and stay flexible. Source: Corporate Rebels

The signal for Market Bottom?

A Follow Through Day (FTD) is a concept developed by William J. O’Neil to identify an important change in general market direction, from a definite downtrend to a new uptrend. Follow Through Days occurs during a market correction when a major index closes significantly higher than the previous day, and on greater volume. It happens Day 4 or later of an attempted rally. Leading up to a FTD, an attempted rally takes place during a downtrend when a major index closes with a gain. The rally attempt continues intact as long as the index doesn’t make a new low. Follow Through Day Characteristics: Characteristics of a follow-through day include an index closing at least 1.7 – 2% higher on increased volume, positive behavior of leading stocks, and improved market action regarding support vs. resistance levels. The most powerful follow-through days often happen Day 4 through Day 7 of an attempted rally. Day 1 of an attempted rally is the first up day after a new low.
