Off. Best way to describe todays move, moody. The euphoria that saw the blue chip index soar more than 300 points following the weekends passage of the senate bill, that euphoria was mostly gone by the closing bell. Theres a sense investors are to figure out which sectors will benit whi wont from the tax reform. That could be why the techheavy e Dow Jones Industrial aver was up 58 points. Nasdaq was off 72, more than 1 , and the s p 500 up for much of the day, was down almost three. Despite todays mixed finish, the market rally this year has really been impressive. What s investors do now . Mike san tolli takes a look. Reporter i and that moment market when investors are asking to lock in gains or let them ride. The index is on an eightpoint win streak and only revenue in nine straight mondays once since 1980. Stocks have begin pricing in the expected windfall from a big Corporate Tax cut and the Economic News has been unusually good for months. The strong 2017 rally has also left many investors tilted more heavily towards stock than they plan. Is it time to trim back or bet the market can deliver further rewards in december and beyond. December has a wellearned reputation for generosity in years that most resemble 2017, december has produced furse gains of around 2 on average. December has never once been the weakest month of any year. Which is encouraging given the worst 2017 was march when the market was down less than a 0. 1 . It still makes sense to expect a less smooth ride for stocks, even if the bull market carries higher still. The tax cut will produce relative winners and loser, and th on a humming economy could have unintended effects on Interest Rates and inflation. If the market does grow choppy in the coming weeks and months, theres a bright sign for investors. After such a long calm rally as weve had this year, the first sharp pullback is rarely the start of a lasti thats what the history books tell us. Im mike san tolli at the to new York Market Exchange sploo cvs has agreed to buy aetna, bringing two big health care. Akers in the bi today shares of both stocks were lower. The combined company is widely expected to transform. Bertha coombs explains. Cvs and aetnas ceos say they have tried to offer better deals through their business partnership, about you now telling theyll be able to offer even more value. Its really the perfect time to bring the two companies together to bring a new platform that can be easier to use and less expensive for consumers and create a new front door to health care in our country. T say the so of had called front door would open up more seamless care so employer an wont have to navigate as much paperwork and clinics and cvss 9700 pharmacies would become a place for basic they can ask for some help, get guided through the system. We can make the insurance the back room of the operation. We can waive prior thor sayless, waive copays, as people use the system in a way th effective. Unitedhealth has gained market empls by offering an allinone medical and pharmacy plan at better prices. Anthem develops its own unit, one benefit consultant says the trend could mean employers could have little choice beyond a allinone plan. Youll have a couple big entities with significant power, and in certain market segments, they may start to make it very difficult to carve out pharmacy. It could save them money, but with cvs and aetna, employers and consumers will also want to know whether the clinics will mean more limited networks. Is care that was potentially going to the Physicians Office now diverted to the storefront, but certain a question i have as to how it would all pan out as it moves forward. Cvs is hoping the deal will been proved in the first half, but tells analysts building out that new frontdoor Health Care Model could take longer than the first year to really take off. Bertha coombs, nightly business craig garthway joinses to discuss could mean. Hes a Health Economist and asr of strategy as Kellogg School of management. Good to have you back on the program. Have we just seen a glimpse of the future . Illustrates i think we are. I think the moves we are seeings by cvs and aetna, and as you mentioned by anthem dropping their pbm and forming their own program, are really signs of a recoordination. Well have a different set of firms with different activities they can do to compete in the marketplace. What will it mean for consumers . Immediately its not going to mean a lot. I think it will develop over time, but the hope we have is we can offer a better coordinated medical and pharmacy benefits es we can make it easier to get access. Those are the types of things we would see when we join a company like cvs or aetna or seeing what united is doing with its optum division. So what i see tell me if im wrong here, is insurers and providers getting together so that more of the so there are cost efficiencies and so that more of the revenue stays within the ecosystem that they create. In other words, if i buy my insurance through cvs aetna, that plan is going to favor me going to crss Minute Clinic and favor ill get my job at a cheaper price than if i go, quote, out of that ecosystem. Is that how its going to work . I think were seeing elements. Thats part of what we might expect in a move if were moving toward valuebased care or outcome based coverage. Its going to require investments by insurers and by providers to try to get us to really attempt to be purchasing health, as opposed to be performing health care services. Theres a lot of worry by each side of that transaction, they might not be the one that gets the benefit. It might flow, say the provider makes an investment, but the insurer is the within that benefits. Because of that, we might get a more optimal set of at this time if one firm is doing both services. A quick thought here, there any antitrust or department of jue or federal trade commission hurdle that could be an impediment . It is a vertical merger. That being said, ive given you positive. Its also going to make it even harder for new firming to enter the Insurance Market. This coordinated the only way that benefits the consumer, though, is if insurers the premiums come down, so we still need a vital and competitive Insurance Market and really be a tradeoff between the benefits we get between coordinating your care with the concerns we have that we dont have a competitive enough market. Craig garthwait with northwesterns Kellogg School of management. The dow moved higher today, as part of the senates tax bill, and now the senate and the outs must reconcile thats two versions and hammer out any differences. Ylan mui is on the story tonight. Republica are now focused on resolving the key differences between the house an the senate bills. The three biggest individual rates, the house has four while expire after 2025. He corporate house cuts to 20 right away and the senate waits until 2019. The senate also repeals the individual mandate. The house doesnt do that, and its still unclear how moderates feel about that approach. There are also a bunch of smaller issues that could wind up becoming bigger battles. The senate keeps the alternative minimum tax for both corporations and individuals. It also doesnt repeal the estate tax, and there are different rates for passthrough businesses and for repatriation. The republicans say their bills have similar architecture, and the differences are not insurmountable. However, president tru threw a wild card into the negotiation by opening the door to a higher Corporate Tax rate of 22 in the final legislation. Now, a 20 rate had been one of his red lines and conservatives are still saying theyre committed to that number. The next step in this, a conference committee. The house will vote on members today, and the senate should follow suit soon. Most of this process will happen behind the scenes and republicans will likely need right up to december 22nd to get it to the president s desk before christmas. For nightly business repor im ylan mui in washington. One of the Big Questions is whether tax cuts will increase Overall Economic growth and by how much. Theres new analysis tonight from a leading group of economists, and Steve Liesman has that part of the story. They estimated positive, but modest effect. Theres a significant debate as to how longlasting the economist will be, on average they see a 0. 2 kicker for gdp. At goldman sachs, they see 0. 3 for 2018 and 19, but they see it as temporary. John riding also seeing an impact, but he thinking it will more permanent. Supporters think it will increase Capital Spending which would boost worker activity and jobs, and they like the idea it would rebatery atcash from overseas and reduce inefficiencies in the economy. Some see the Federal Reserve having to tighten policy than it otherwise would, as many of the benefits flow to the wealthiest americans, and theyre skeptical on the job and wage effects. It is written it could look competitive relative to overseas. Riding sees a permanent upward shift to potential growth, but goldman says after growth increases in 2018 and 2019, quote we note the looks minimal and can actually be slightly negative. One of the big concerns has been about the one to 1. 5 trillion in deficits, and whether it means higher Interest Rates. Rates have been on the rise as the chance for the bills passage has increased. The market now sees multiple rate hikes as more likely from the Federal Reserve. For facebook, im Steve Liesman. Still ahead, a business battle is brewing over the scaling back of some national the its Supreme Court is consideration whether to legalize Sports Betting nationwide. If that happens, it could mean billions of dollars for states well beyond nevada. Hampton pearson rolls t reporter its not just tailgating that gets sports fans fired up. Its estimated americans illegally bet 150 billion a year on professional and amateur sports, according to gaming industry analysts. At the Supreme Court today, the justices appeared ready to overturn 25yearold federal law that bars all but four states from legalizing gambling on most professional and amateur sports. New Jersey Governor Chris Christie spent the last five years and millions of state tax dollars fighting for uphold a new jersey law that would allow Sports Betting at racetracks and casinos in the garden state. New jersey wants to appropriately regulate sports gaming. We want to do it because 65 of the people in the state of new jersey voted they wanted to do it. We have a long history of casino gaming where weve shown ked can appropriately regulate. During the over an hourlong argument, justices questioned if the protection act violated states rights. Justice Anthony Kennedy said it appeared the federal government was trying to forget new jersey to keep a wagering ban in place that no longer exists under state law. Conservative justices kneel gorsuch and samuel alito said the federal government aired by trying to use state governments to carry out federal policy. If new jersey wins and the law is overturned, more than 30 states are waiting in the wings with legislation to legal id Sports Betting, a potential revenue winfault for the states and a new revenue stream for the gaming industry. 15 states have already introduced legislation. Heck, pennsylvania just passed a law within the past couple weeks that has the regulatory parameters, including an absurd 36 tax rate, so we still have work to do on that front. But the states are lining up. New jersey is extremely well positioned. T justices do have options, throwing out the entire ln the floodgates for Sports Betting, but keeping part of that law would limit some of the sports gambling operations going forward.

Reporter in addition to cutting them in half, interior secretary ryan zinke endorsed shrinking from at least six on monuments. The administrations goal, removing restrictions for fishing, mining, ranching, timber logging and cattle ranching. Weve seen by the most conservative estimates more than a 30 decline since the crazy of that month moment. A lot of that is because there wasnt enough proper analysis before the monuments are created.

Thats because proposed changes may make it harder for some to deduct the value of their gifts. Joining us with the details is sharon epperson. How does this tax plan Impact Charitable giving. One of the ways when you look at the standard detux, whats proposed to nearly double the standard deduction to about 12,000, that may mean people plan to take the standard detux in future years. If you dont itemize, you cannot claim a charitable contribution. If you want to make sure your charitable deduction really counts, then it may be best to kind of front load and put more toward Charitable Giving this year, its its so uncertain about what will happen. They havent taken away the ability to deduct, theyve just proposed raising the standard deduction. Exactly. Which makes fewer people itemize. Exactly. What ar curre tax breaks. And we should say, of course, this is not the reason you give. You just get the tax break. Right. Gemly if you give a tables contribution, you can take up to 50 of your adjusted gross income, so that deduction is pretty significant. The majority of people give that way, and the way they do it, they may sure theyre tracking their donations. Thats a key component, to make sure you can get that tax break. Make sure you save receipts. Anything over 250, you have to explain and document exactly what thats for, and you want to make sure the he charity is a 50 is c 3, a tax exempt on organization. And theres some cases where you make a donation or expenditure, part of that may be deductible, and part may not be. There are scammers out there who are note really legitimately charities.
