Stocks of Utilities Have Climbed 22% This Year

公用事业股今年上涨了22％

—and The S&P 500 utilities sector hit a record high on Tuesday. Utilities are normally seen as pretty boring companies—there isn’t a ton of excitement in providing water and electricity. And the industry is heavily regulated, which limits its potential profits and losses.

标准普尔500指数公用事业板块周二（9月24日）创下历史新高。公用事业股通常被视为比较传统的投资，投资者往往对这些提供水和电的公司缺乏兴趣，而且该行业受到严格的监管，潜在盈亏都因此受到限制。

But utility stocks do offer yield. The sector was yielding 3% on Tuesday. With 10-year Treasury yields below 2%, boring doesn’t sound that bad.

但是公用事业股确实也会带来收益。该板块周二收益率达到3％。鉴于10年期美国国债收益率现在都低于2％，因此公共事业股的表现看起来还不错。

Presidential Candidate Bernie Sanders Proposed a 8% Wealth Tax

美国总统候选人伯尼·桑德斯(Bernie Sanders)提议征收8％的财富税

—on Americans with wealth of more than $16 million—or $32 million for married couples. The tax would start at 1%, though it would be higher for wealthier people. Families with wealth over $10 billion would pay 8% tax.

桑德斯提议对资产超过1600万美元的美国人——或资产超过3200万美元的已婚家庭征收财富税。财富税起点为1％，但财富越多税率会越高。财富超过100亿美元的家庭将缴纳8％的财富税。

A pair of Berkeley economists estimate that the tax would apply to 180,000 American households and collect more than $4 trillion over a decade.

Berkeley的经济学家估计，财富税将适用于18万个美国家庭，10年内的缴税额将超过4万亿美元。
