Wes Streeting has this morning set out his tax plans - specifically bringing capital gains tax into line with income tax He says that the current system is unfair because it penalises work Higher or additional rate taxpayers will pay 24% on gains in the current financial year. Streeting said that the rates should mirror income tax bands - so 40% for higher rate taxpayers and 45% for additional rate taxpayers He says that the approach could raise £12billion a year Streeting said: “A member of my family is a cleaner in Lancashire. She pays a higher tax rate on her salary than her landlord pays for the growing value of the home she lives in. She slogs her guts out, he puts in far less effort, yet the state rewards him more than her. And we wonder why people are angry. “The system is penalising work. It’s not fair and it’s bad for our economy. We need a wealth tax that works. A pound made from simply owning assets should not be taxed less than a pound made from a hard day's work. We can do it in a way that is pro-growth, pro-entrepreneur and pro-work.”

Nobody tells you this: No matter how you choose to live, people will tell you that you’re doing it wrong. Wrong priorities. Wrong work. Wrong relationships. Wrong whatever. Your entire life will change the moment you learn to smile, nod, and ignore every single one of them.

Major cheat code for life: Believe that things will work out for you. Not blindly, but through effort. When you expect good things and pair it with action, you start noticing opportunities others miss. Optimism paired with effort is a powerful force.

Imagine every pixel on your screen, streamed live directly from a model. No HTML, no layout engine, no code. Just exactly what you want to see. @eddiejiao_obj, @drewocarr and I built a prototype to see how this could actually work, and set out to make it real. We're calling it Flipbook. (1/5)

Here's some advice that no banker will ever give you, because no banker makes money recommending this:Just put most of your long-term money into QQQ (the Nasdaq-100 ETF) as I do, and hold it for decades.Why? Because it's simple, ultra-low cost (0.20% fee), and has delivered incredible results with almost no effort. Example: If you had invested $100,000 in QQQ on January 1, 2020 (with dividends reinvested), you would have ≈ $298,000 – $300,000 today (as of mid-April 2026). Today QQQ reached an all time high. That's nearly tripling your money in a little over 6 years.Compounded annual return (CAGR) since then: ≈ 19.8% – 20.0% per year. Even after surviving the -32.6% drawdown in 2022, the long-term compounding is powerful.If you are my follower you know that I’ve been recommending this approach for years. Another advantage is that if you buy and sell stocks, even if you do well, you pay taxes on the profits. But if you buy QQQ and hold it, QQQ trades but those trades are not taxable to you. So not only is stock picking generally worse than owning QQQ, but it is also taxed at higher rates. Lastly tell me any fund you own that has done better than QQQ, that is liquid and available to everyone and I buy you an ice cream here in Miami :) There is none as far as I know.
