Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: DON'T PANIC. RULE! Market turbulence has made opening monthly 401(k) statements shocking rather than reassuring. Michael "Waxie" Parness can help. The standard strategies and advice regarding your retirement accounts are NOT working. Many people's 401(k)s are now 201(k)s, and it may get worse. YOU need to take control of your retirement, and your life. Rule Your Freakin' Retirement, through practical and pragmatic advice and examples, will teach you alternatives to the "buy, hold, and pray" strategies most investment advisers give. In today's world you need fresh ideas, and this book gives you the tools you need to not only protect what you have in your IRA, but to grow it in an aggressive, time-tested, yet easily managed way. And, yes, a safer way! Building on his successful Rule the Freakin' Markets, master trader and motivational speaker Michael Parness applies the same aggressive strategies to normally ignored or undermanaged 401(k), IRA, and other retirement accounts. Contrary to conventional wisdom, Parness argues that no matter what age you are, NOW is the time to adopt active, aggressive, and controlled strategies to ensure a fully funded, real retirement on your own terms, not subject to market gyrations out of your control. He outlines, in plain language, bold but practical strategies emphasizing research and tailoring approaches to individual needs. With record numbers of baby boomers entering or nearing retirement, and succeeding generations caught by a volatile economy, Rule Your Freakin' Retirement offers tangible, proven, no-nonsense advice that all can profit from, in the engaging Waxie style.

Download or read book 99 Jumpstarts to Research written by Peggy Whitley and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2010-08-16 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides research assistance for 99 current and provocative issues students can use to write a brief argumentative paper. In 2030, it is projected that 65 percent of the population will be over 65. The U.S. Government Census Bureau reveals that over an adult's working life, college graduates typically earn close to $1 million more than high school graduates. About 43 percent of American families spend more than they earn each year. These three factoids represent a tiny fraction of the potential research subjects contained in 99 Jumpstarts to Research: Topic Guides for Finding Information on Current Issues, Second Edition, a completely revised follow-up to the original edition. Every jumpstart—each focused upon a current, timely issue—contains ideas for narrowing the topic, research keywords, suggested best books and databases, and Internet sites. This book supports both faculty and students in identifying compelling topics, effectively evaluating and selecting resources in today's information-overload world, and deriving enjoyment from the research and writing process.

Download or read book The Art of Trend Trading written by Michael Parness and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2015-11-04 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Look inward for the missing piece to your trading strategy The Art of Trend Trading bucks the trend of technicality to show readers how instinct and strategy can unite to bring about consistent investment success. Rather than diving ever-deeper into the overdone world of complicated modeling and forecasting techniques, trader, CEO, and bestselling author Michael Parness explains how making intuition a part of your investment strategy tends to result in more long-term profit. Using animal spirits as a metaphor and tool, Parness helps readers understand how their natural tendencies may run counter to their strategy, and how this dichotomy may be the shackle holding them back from true market success. Readers will learn how this perspective lifted Parness from homelessness to making millions in both Bull and Bear markets, and will start developing their own market instinct as they refine and tune into their own natural intuition. Everyone's looking for the "ultimate" system, a way to "game the market" and uncover the "secret" to successful investing. Over the years, Parness has observed that the best traders – those who consistently make money – are the ones that use instinct and intuition, as well as strategy. This book shows you how to identify the natural trader within, and use your gut to inform an ever-evolving investment plan. Follow the author's journey from homelessness to millionaire Identify and understand your own strengths and weaknesses Develop your instinct alongside your strategy Take a lesson from traders making consistent money There's no substitute for good strategy, but it's no secret that some strategies seem to be more profitable than others. The Art of Trend Trading helps you find that missing piece and turn it into more consistent investment success.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Praise for THE NEW RULES OF RETIREMENT "As a Wharton graduate, money manager, Chief Financial Officer, and Certified Financial Analyst, I didn't think I needed help in making investment choices and planning for my retirement. I was wrong. I have been a subscriber to Retirement Watch since 1997. I trust Bob Carlson completely and follow his investment, tax, and planning advice personally." --Sandy Kagan, CFA CFO Partner, Tatum Partners "A clear, practical, and wisely unconventional guide to the new world of retirement." --Humberto Cruz Nationally syndicated financial columnist, Tribune Media Services "Bob Carlson does a magnificent job preparing readers for the many challenging issues they will face over the next several decades. Retirees can no longer count on generous asset returns and employer-provided defined benefit plans. Bob provides readers with creative approaches for contending with these challenges to help ensure financially and emotionally secure 'freedom years'." --Lawrence E. Kochard, PhD, CFA Chief Investment Officer, Georgetown University "Bob Carlson shows that three trends--demographics (baby boomers), increasing longevity, and fewer offspring--have changed forever the landscape facing America's retirees. Stereotype retirement based on Social Security and employer pensions is out; making ends meet on your own is in. Better get yourself ready--and you can do so by reading this book." --James C. Miller III Former U.S. Budget Director, Chairman of The CapAnalysis Group, LLC

Download or read book The 4 Retirement Rule Is Wrong written by Dan Keppel and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2013-08 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How can you spend 4% of your nest egg when you earn 2%?Advisors' 4% rule is NOT a “safe withdrawal” amount. Advisors' expensive deferred annuities don't work. Annuity guarantees are just not worth the price.Fixed income returns are volatile—compare alternatives.Create a Tax-FREE inflation-proof account for growth. In 1994, Bill Bengen's 4% solution to the 30-year retirement income problem was the perfect answer to a client's question: “How much can I withdraw from my investments so I don't run out of money during retirement?” 4% was the quick answer for simplistic advisor plans. It saved advisors from developing a plan that matched our “lifestyle,” given the unpredictability of the market. All our advisor had to do was buy 10-year Treasuries, which were yielding 8%. The 4% retirement income rule was wrong. Now academics say that advisors can't use the 4% rule anymore—Now it's 2.5%. Obviously, neither of them are actually living on retirement income of 2.5% of their pensions. Talk is cheap. They fail to mention that we will need a retirement fund 50% GREATER for the same income amount. Also, Bengen did not know that our current Social Security benefits will end in 2033. He did not know that our income taxes will increase to pay off two wars, two tax cuts and two bank bailouts. He did not know that people will be retiring early and probably live into their 90's. He did not know that, starting in 1997, people could compound earnings in a tax-FREE account. Today you can make sure you are protected by creating a guaranteed inflation-proof income stream of low-cost annuities to exactly match your needs. You need to enter the last 30+ years of your life knowing how you are going to obtain income. You need a realistic and flexible plan. Two-thirds of pre-retirees don't have a clue. Financial advisors favor high-cost products. You need less-biased information to find the best alternative for you. Let's look at the alternatives.

Download or read book We re Not In Kansas Anymore written by Walter Updegrave and published by Currency. This book was released on 2004-04-20 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whether you are thirty years from retirement or it's just around the corner, here is the only book you'll need about how to get it together and plan a safe, secure, and prosperous retirement. We all know the scene: Dorothy is transported from the flat terrain of Kansas to the bizarre land of Oz. Her cry, "Toto, I don't think we're in Kansas anymore," may be the best line to describe how people feel about the retirement landscape. It’s one teeming with challenges, from the impact of corporate downsizing on individuals to battered 401(k)s, precarious Social Security, and cuts in pensions and health care benefits for retirees. Many people are intimidated and delay thinking about retirement. That’s a mistake. We're Not in Kansas Anymore is the only guide you need to learn how to deal with the Oz-like reality that is retirement planning today. Walter Updegrave shows how to cut through the clutter, assess your finances, and become your own personal pension manager. • Get real about retirement. Neither your employer nor the government will adequately feather your retirement nest. You're on your own. Only you can take action and responsibility for your life after work. Walter Updegrave shows how to start now. • Develop a simple, direct, empowering retirement plan. Cut through the alphanumeric soup of 401(k)s, IRAs, Keoghs, and SEPs, get a grip, and execute a personal plan that makes sense given your circumstances. • Create a realistic investing strategy and get the most out of your 401(k) and other retirement accounts. • Ensure that your money lasts a lifetime. The Tin Man wanted to experience life with passion and emotion. Likewise, you'll improve your chances of creating the kind of retirement you want if you bring some passion and emotion into your retirement plan and then save enough to make it a reality. The Scarecrow thought his life would be better if he "only had a brain." It was the Scarecrow, however, who came up with the best ideas to get Dorothy out of her jams. Similarly, Updegrave shows that any reasonably intelligent person can execute a successful retirement plan and, like the Cowardly Lion, show some courage by having the discipline, willpower, and conviction to follow it through. We're Not in Kansas Anymore is the best, most thorough, and most empowering retirement guide in print today. Don't leave Kansas--or anywhere else for that matter--without it.

Download or read book The Boomer s Guide to a Worry free Retirement written by THOMAS. HELBIG and published by Advantage Media Group. This book was released on 2012 with total page 123 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The SECRETS Your Broker Never Told You! A seismic shift has taken place in financial planning for people approaching retirement. When that change came along, author Thomas Helbig was more than ready for it. What is the new investment landscape all about? Americans planning for retirement have lost faith in risky, Wall Street-style investments. Meanwhile, new investment tools have come along, developed by the insurance sector of the financial services industry, to replace those high-risk vehicles. St. Louis-based Thomas Helbig, who began advising clients in 1977, has been specializing in these new-breed investments since their emergence. Always one who emphasized safety and loss-prevention, Helbig became an early adopter of the new portfolio options and his clients have learned to their happiness how: principal can be protected, a logical plan can be followed, substantial growth of the portfolio can be realized and can produce more guaranteed income regardless of Wall Street's performance "I may be a financial advisor operating in extremely volatile times, but I don't toss and turn at night. I know my clients' funds are well protected." With 35 years of experience in financial planning and safe money solutions, Helbig's practice specializes in Qualified Plan Distribution. A gifted communicator of complex information, he is a nationally recognized trainer and keynote speaker on financial planning. In particular, his expertise focuses on retirement planning that takes advantage of the new tax rules passed into law in 2002. These new rules can turn a modest IRA account into a lifetime income that can span three generations. Any serious investor who is deep into their prime earning years simply has to become familiar with these opportunities.
