Today’s Unemployment Benefits Americans Out of Work; Earned Income Tax Credit Tax Refunds for those that Qualify 2010 Taxes

dow2664
Negocioenlinea

Tax time is here and Americans are beginning to think about how they can be efficient and cost effective with this process. Unemployment is currently at a relative high level and was even higher during the 2010 tax year. Many Americans went in and out of gainful employment during this time and their earned income for the year was less than anticipated. As many Americans experienced a similar situation this past year, more Americans may be able to qualify for earned income tax credit tax breaks when completing their 2010 taxes this year. The earned income tax credit, or ETIC, is an income tax break for American workers that have not made beyond a certain threshold of income for the 2010 tax year. Unemployment benefits do not count towards this tax credit. This credit is refundable, so if it turns out that you are clear of owing any taxes, you will get a refund issued. Also, if you have dependent children, the amount of the tax credit could be greater. According to the legal code, if you have three or more dependent children and earned less than $43,352, one would qualify for the earned income tax credit. If you have two dependent children and earned less than $40,363, one would qualify for the earned income tax credit. If you have one dependent child, and earned less than $35,535, one would be eligible for the earned income tax credit. Finally, if you are an individual with no dependent children and earned less than $13,460 during the 2010 tax year, you would be eligible for the earned income tax credit. Be sure to determine if your given situation might qualify for this tax credit this year. Author: Genny Germano

The History of Ford: The Company that Didn't Take Taxpayer Bailouts

An interesting history of the original Ford (F) automobile. I found the last part of the video most interesting, the Model T driving through snow, sand, and water. Remember, this was the company that didn’t take taxpayer bailouts, unlike General Motors (GM) and Chrysler. Disclosure: I own Ford stock and I drive a Ford.

The History of Ford: The Company that Didn’t Take Taxpayer Bailouts



Egypt Gives VIX a Volatility Rush

VIX CHART Quick  - the green candle in VIX on Friday. After meandering for the week, the CBOE Volatility Index ( VIX ) exploded 24% on Friday, the largest single day pop for those seeking options trading information since those Flash Crash days of May, 2010. What’s it all mean? Well of course, we won’t know until this plays out. But it's not uncommon to see rushes for volatility like this on Fridays. And that sounds odd, because normally Friday is the worst day of the week for VIX. That’s because on a typical Friday, an options buyer worries most about the time decay he has to pay on his option longs. So he lowers his bids, which translates to modestly lower readings in a volatility index such as the VIX. On the flip side, options sellers generally lower their offers as well on Fridays, knowing that if nothing much happens, they earn three days worth of decay on their sales. When you spend a day seeing nothing but riots on the TV though, you naturally think less about the relative pennies you might collect on decay than you worry about the relative dollars you may fork over on an ugly gap down on Monday. At best you raise your option offers, at worst you chase and cover your option shorts. And of course as option prices increase, the next guy gets squeezed and covers, and before you know it you have a veritable VIX stampede. Nowadays we have another factor: Weekly Options. The closer an option gets to expiration, the less premium in that option. The less premium, the less cushion for the option short to absorb an accident. The less cushion, the quicker the short has to defend the position, either via stock sales or option buys (or both). Now that we have Weeklys, we have extra option shorts out there with the potential to get squeezed. It's not a huge factor yet, but it is something that can push moves further on the margins. The fear is apparently that Egypt will cause some sort of domino effect. We see these fears play out all the time. Last year it was the PIIGS (Portugal, Ireland, Italy, Greece, Spain) and the Euro “contagion”. In past times we’ve seen it in Latin America and the Far East. All tend to run their course as far as the market is concerned, and I have little doubt this one will too. Who knows how long that takes though. I noted last week that we get lots of fake breakouts in VIX that run counter to the prevailing trend for every one real breakout. My inclination is to fade the VIX breakout via put and put spread sales in index options, with disciplined stops in case this is in fact the real one. Follow Adam Warner on Twitter @agwarner .

The company operates in three global business units (GBUs): Beauty and Grooming, Health and Well-Being, and Household Care. The company is a dividend aristocrat which has increased distributions for 54 years in a row. One of the company's largest investors is no other than Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway. Over the past decade this dividend stock has delivered an annualized total return of 7.50% to its shareholders. The company has managed to deliver an average increase in EPS of 14.50% per year since 2000. Analysts expect Procter & Gamble to earn $3.98 per share in 2011 and $4.37 per share in 2012. This would be a nice increase from the $3.53/share the company earned in 2010. Procter & Gamble is an example of the perfect dividend growth stock. It has strong brand recognition, solid competitive advantages as well as a diverse portfolio of products sold throughout the world. The company strives to generate cost savings, tries to grow through innovation and through acquisitions, while carefully managing the cash flow in order to pay dividends and buy back stock consistently. The company has the benefit of its large scale and sells a diverse number of products that have a broad geographic reach. The company has a consistent revenue stream and is targeting earnings per share growth in the high single to low double digits. The company's return on equity decreased sharply after the acquisition of Gillette in 2005. Rather than focus on absolute values for this indicator, I generally want to see at least a stable return on equity over time. The annual dividend payment in US dollars has increased by 10% per year since 2000. A 10% growth in distributions translates into the dividend payment doubling every seven years. If we look at historical data, going as far back as 1975, we see that Procter & Gamble has indeed managed to double its dividend every seven years on average. After decreasing steadily throughout the decade, the dividend payout ratio increased above 50%, mainly on low EPS growth during the 2007- 2009 recession. Based off forward FY 2010 EPS however, the dividend is adequately covered from earnings. A lower payout is always a plus, since it leaves room for consistent dividend growth minimizing the impact of short-term fluctuations in earnings. Currently, Procter & Gamble is attractively valued at 16 times earnings, yields 2.90% and has a sustainable dividend payout. I would continue monitoring the stock and will consider adding to a position in the stock on dips. Full Disclosure: Long in PG stock. For more information, visit DividendGrowthInvestor.com.

Medicare Part D Prescription Drug Plan Costs in 2011; Deductible and Donut Hole Notes Medicare Plans

dow2664
Negocioenlinea

Medicare Part D is a federal program that helps to subsidize the costs of prescription drugs for Medicare beneficiaries throughout the United States. Previous to this year, Medicare beneficiaries needed to enroll in a Part D plan between November 15th and December 31st of the calendar year, but this enrollment period is changed in 2011. The new enrollment period for 2011 will begin on October 15th, 2011 and last through December 7th, 2011. According to federal statistics, tens of millions of American citizens are enrolled in some type of Medicare Part D plan. Plans are based on need and are thus individualized. Primary costs of plans are dependent on the variables of a given situation. Medicare attempts to help Americans sort through these variables to determine costs via its Medicare Plan Finder online. One constant that will remain unchanged in 2011 for Medicare Part D plans is the deductible. The deductible can be as high as $310 annually but is not subject to all plans. This amount was the same in 2010, and 2011 is the first time in the history of the Part D plans that this deductible amount has not moved higher. Many are also concerned with “donut hole coverage.” The donut hole will close completely by 2020 Those that find themselves in the hole this year should see a discount of 50 percent for brand-name drugs and 7 percent for generic selections.
