Download or read book Retirement Investing for Income Only written by Bruce C Miller Cfp and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2014-09-30 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since 2012 approximately 10,000 Baby-Boomers are attaining age 65 EACH DAY and will continue at this rate for 19 YEARS!! WHEW! Of those retiring today, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, less than 16% will have a pension. All others will be taking their retirement savings with them as they leave their job for the last time.The quest for reliable income in retirement is now upon us! The days of investing to 'beat the market' are over! For retirees, the fun and games are done...its time, for most, to get serious about how retirement savings are invested. And what retirees want is income...reliable, growing with inflation and income that will last. The retiree wants income that will be there each month to replace the now absent paycheck. In addition, most retirees want to understand...fully understand...how their savings dollars are being invested. They want to see it. It must be clear. The days of poorly-understood 'black boxes', get rich plans and those ubiquitous financial 'free lunches' are nothing but bad memories. Its time to get serious.This book takes the singular approach to generating reliable and inflation growing income to the retirement household, quarter after quarter, year after year and decade after decade....using only the income produced by these investments. Income investments are limited to long time income paying stocks, preferred stock, bonds and possibly alternative income instruments, such as Royalty Trusts, Business Development Companies or mutual funds (closed end, open end and Exchange Traded). This book analyzes each of these, in detail, on where their cash flows come from, how reliable their cash flows have been over the years and for the core income holdings such as C-Corporations, Utilities, REITs and Master Limited Partnerships, the underlying financial strength of the company thus their ability to sustain and grow their dividends into the future.Yes, this book gets into the details and math is involved. Now, this is relatively easy math...but it is math. The retiree will need to do some adding and dividing...but it is very doable...it just must be done. In fairness, this may not work for all retirees. Those retirees who swoon at the thought of balancing their checkbook or shudder at the thought of calculating the 15% tip on their restaurant bill, this book may not be for them. For everyone else, this book provides a clear and unambiguous pathway to determining if the company paying a 4.5% dividend really has the financial strength to sustain and grow it over the quarters ahead. The work required to determine this is not hard...it is doable...but it is work.Having offered that fair warning, I can assure any retiree with high confidence that if you follow my discussions, work through the examples I provide and are diligent, the reward will be a long term reliable dividend paying income portfolio with great pride of ownership, zero expenses (other than the cost of initially buying the stocks) and an increasing sense of self confidence that would be almost impossible to attain in the world of fluctuating stock prices, rebalancing, cash buckets and portfolio survivability statistics.My personal mission in taking the hundreds of hours it has taken to compile, organize and publish this book is NOT to convince anyone that the pure income approach is the approach they should take. My purpose is to explain, in the best way experience and analytical ability will allow, how the pure income investment process should work. The book provides 85 charts, graphs and tables to help explain concepts and uses plain English narratives to explain financial analysis in a friendly yet non-patronizing way.Building a lifetime income portfolio requires work, but it will be work well worth the effort, as the retiree will come to realize as their dividends all come in on time, in at least the amount expected, year after year, regardless of what the stock market is doing or the stock experts are saying.

Download or read book Stock Market Investing for Beginners written by Richard Stooker and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2011-10-23 with total page 93 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Want to get started investing in the stock market, but aren't sure how to do so? What are stocks? What determines their market prices? Why do they go up and down? How can I beat the stock market? What are mutual funds? What are index funds? What are Exchanged Traded Funds? Even though the stock market is the heart of a country's wealth, and even though it enables everybody to be a part owner in the largest, most successful countries in the world, it's not taught in public schools. But be warned: the mainstream press often misrepresents the stock market. They focus on making the news exciting and dramatic to sell copies. Frankly, the best investing is boring investing. It's putting as much money as you can afford into many companies, and reinvesting dividends. And continuing to do so until you reach retirement age. The best investing is not about trying to figure out what's going to happen in the economy or the markets tomorrow, next week, next month or next year. Many financial writers try to make you think you have to work hard at investing. You must study stock charts every night. Read annual reports. Thoroughly analyze a company's financial statements. Read THE WALL STREET JOURNAL, BARRON'S, and MONEY MAGAZINE. Buy special software. Hang out in online investing forums. Not so! Don't waste your time. This book takes modern financial theory to its logical conclusion. You can get the maximum long term benefit by following its simple plan. No tedious math or economics theory needed. It's simple to set up. Then you forget about it. Pay no attention to the financial news. Just focus on making the most money you can in your career or business, that's all. And if you're starting small, we've got you covered too. You'll learn the various kinds of stocks and the various ways to invest in them, including tax-deferred retirement accounts such as an IRA. This work is shorter than Stock Investing for Dummies. Warning: the investment world is full of people who think your money belongs to them. From out and out scammer brokers, financial advisors, newsletter editors, and to the managers of actively traded mutual funds, if you're not careful you'll help everybody get rich except yourself. Your government also wants your money, so this includes a chapter on the tax consequences of investing -- and how to minimize them. Therefore, scroll up to download Stock Market Investing for Beginners and get started right away.

Book excerpt: Diversification provides a well-known way of getting something close to a free lunch: by spreading money across different kinds of investments, investors can earn the same return with lower risk (or a much higher return for the same amount of risk).

Book excerpt: How can you help shield yourself from a volatile stock market swings during retirement? Dividend investing! Many think that growing the value of an investment portfolio is most crucial to a comfortable retirement. While accumulating funds that grow before you reach retirement is essential, you also need a flow of income after you retire.

The book will equip you with the knowledge you need to get started, as well as provide an investment strategy that is easy to follow.

Download or read book Invest Like an Institution written by Michael C. Schlachter and published by Apress. This book was released on 2013-09-16 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All too often, when investors go in search of investment advice, they are met with television personalities and so-called investment “gurus” who do little more than push the latest and greatest scheme to retire rich. Your retirement funds—in the form of IRAs, 401(k)s, SEP or Simple IRAs, and other plans you can direct to some degree—are, however, far too precious to bet on the latest scheme, trend, or tip you heard at a party. In Invest Like an Institution: Professional Strategies for Funding a Successful Retirement, Michael Schlachter provides individual investors with the tools they need to build a portfolio that not only protects their wealth but helps it grow for the long term. Result? A comfortable retirement in which you can pursue your dreams and check “bucket list” items off at your leisure. As an advisor to large pension funds and endowments, Michael Schlachter counts among his clients the elite. Institutional investors like the retirement systems of states and major companies, as well as the largest university endowments, are among the few that consistently outperform the market. Sure, average retail investors can't make the same types of private deals in real estate, private equity, or hedge funds that institutional investors use to reap large returns or offset market volatility. But as this book demonstrates, you can replicate in your own portfolio the very same diversification strategies that large funds employ to achieve long-term gains. To that end, Invest Like an Institution shows how to build a portfolio that is every bit as diversified and risk-controlled as a multi-billion-dollar institutional fund—and a portfolio more likely to result in a happy, financially secure retirement. Filled with easy-to-implement guidelines that will put you on the path to financial success without encouraging you to chase trends, take on unneeded risks, or spend unnecessary fees, Invest Like an Institution analyzes: Why asset allocation and consistent retirement contributions are the single largest determinant of your success or failure The merits of a global portfolio versus those of a home country–biased portfolio How newer investment strategies are used by institutional investors to supplement a well-diversified portfolio Why fixed income investments are not as safe as most investors think and how to understand their role in your portfolio The best alternative asset classes that are readily available to individual investors Invest Like an Institution will help ensure that your investments are positioned for long-term growth under any market conditions. Follow its advice, and you can better achieve a prime goal we all share: retiring with a substantial nest egg.

Investing may not be the first thing that pops into your head when thinking of retiring early, but it is one of the best options. If you have looked into investing, you have probably heard things like stocks, bonds, day trading, and so on, but what you may not have heard of is ETFs.

There are a lot of unknowns in the world of investing, but with the right knowledge and planning, you can avoid a lot of the problems people face with investing. Also, you may worry that you could run out of money, but that's where the planning comes into play. We'll discuss everything you need to know to make sure that doesn't happen. While it may not sound pretty or fun, planning is the key to make sure you can retire when you want and live the rest of your life doing whatever you want. It is possible to retire early, and if you trust me, I will teach you exactly how it can be done. All you have to is take a chance and buy this book.

Download or read book You ve Lost It Now What written by Jonathan Clements and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Even if you have lost 40, 50, or even 80 percent of your savings, it is still possible to retire in comfort. This year's stock market collapse has been especially devastating to millions of Americans in their forties and fifties who had been buying stocks and mutual funds for their retirement years. Trillions of dollars were lost, and thousands of retirement accounts and portfolios were reduced by more than 50 percent. The question now is, what's the next step? Will these hardworking people need to continue working into their seventies? Not if they make the right moves today, says Jonathan Clements, The Wall Street Journal's highly respected personal finance columnist. Today, investors are faced with a barrage of dubious advice. Stocks are supposedly dead. Bonds are now touted as the only safe way to invest. Meanwhile, folks are once again claiming you can't go wrong with real estate. Clements, an award-winning personal finance columnist, rips apart this dubious advice, telling readers what's true and what's not. In the same feisty, easy-to-understand style that he brings to his regular Wall Street Journal columns, Clements gives readers a road map for the years ahead. He takes them step-by-step through the process of rebuilding their nest eggs and explains how, after reaching retirement, they can squeeze the maximum out of their savings. This practical, concise guide will allow all readers to stop panicking, rebuild assets, and get their retirement plans back on track.
