BREAKING: President Trump's capital gains tax cut discussions include "indexing" capital gains for inflation BEFORE taxes are calculated.
This would mean that taxes would be applied on gains adjusted for inflation.
For example, if you purchased a stock for $100,000 and sold it 5 years later for $200,000.
Under the current system, you would owe capital gains taxes on the full $100,000 gain.
But, if cumulative inflation over those 5 years was 20%, your inflation-adjusted cost basis would rise to $120,000.
This means you would only owe capital gains taxes on the $80,000 REAL gain, rather than the $100,000 nominal gain.
Trump has also suggested exemptions for sales of homes worth $2 million or less from capital gains taxes.
We expect more details soon.

Corporate America is currently on pace for the biggest earnings beat EVER recorded.
S&P 500 companies are beating earnings per share estimates by an aggregate +29.2%.
To put this into perspective, the 5-year average stands at +7.0%, which is already historically high.
In other words, S&P 500 companies are now beating already high expectations by ~4.2 TIMES the 5-year average.
On top of this, the blended net margin for the S&P 500 is up to 16.9%, also an all time high.
Even if you removed Alphabet’s $98 billion gain from unrealized equity investments and Amazon’s $53 billion gain from Anthropic, S&P 500 earnings growth would STILL be +32.0% year-over-year.
We are in the midst of the largest investment boom in history.
BREAKING: The S&P 500 closes at the highest level on record, up another +3.6% this week.
The S&P 500 added +$2.5 trillion in market cap this week.
