Get Retirement Protection Before the Next Market Correction
I recently read an article in The Wall Street Journal that answers the question, "What are the top two things a person can do to avoid the retirement income & savings crisis?" Here are those top two:
• Make retirement income protection planning a priority and
• Automate - free yourself from the stress of deciding how much income to take and from which account to take it.
Financial advisors used to make a lot of the "three legged retirement stool." Those three legs were defined as: Social Security, defined benefits pension plans and personal savings. But things have changed. While most of the people reading this will receive some form of Social Security how much they receive depends a lot on how they initially file for benefits. Defined pension plans have been eliminated by most companies and, of those plans that still exist, most no longer provide cost of living adjustments. Finally, studies show that most people who have managed to save for retirement, have not saved enough.
So, the three legged stool is now just a two legged stool. Unfortunately, government over-spending and low savings rates have made both of those remaining legs rather short. But there is good news in all of this; many people miss between $200,000 to $300,000 in Social Security income benefits simply because they're unaware of the optimal filing strategies available to them. The other bit of good news is that there's a hybrid retirement savings strategy that allows us to enjoy up-side market gains and retirement principal protection for our both our savings and our earnings.

Discover little-known filing strategies that will increase your Social Security income benefits and learn how you can design your own Personal Protected Pension Plan™ Register and attend our educational webinar this coming Tuesday and see how our clients protect, save and distribute a lifetime of tax-free retirement income.

Know When to Hold 'Em, Know When to Fold 'Em
I just want to briefly share my worries regarding: new market highs, economic surprise and what I term, "media lies." What I'm referring to here are lies about the state of our economy and the future of the stock market. The situation reminds me of that Kenny Rogers song, The Gambler.
But is the retirement crises overblown? Bankrate.com reports 14% of Americans age 65 and above and 25% of Baby Boomers ages 50-64 have not saved a single penny towards retirement. I believe that a greater concern is that those who have saved for retirement have not saved nearly enough.
The market is looking more like a gambling casino these days. One camp is saying, "Let's keep putting money in the market because there's no end to this run up in sight." Another camp will not move out of low yielding cash. Who is right?
What if you could have the best of both worlds? Imagine, being able to enjoy upside gains without the risk of downside losses. You can have this best of both worlds solution. Let us show you how.
Register now to attend one of our educational webinars that are held every Tuesday. Learn how to get the retirement savings you need SAFE from losses and even taxes!

What Do People Fear More Than Death?
This week on Hidden Wealth Radio, I
share an article from The Wall Street Journal reporting that
61% of people in a recent survey reported they fear running out of
money in retirement more than they fear death. Folks, the truth
speaks for itself; the U.S. and European economies performed worse than was
expected. Even the German economy, powerhouse of the Euro Zone, contracted
during the second quarter of this year.
Add to this the other recent report
in The Wall Street Journal that 7,000 people will retire every
day for the next 15 years and what you have is a long-term declining market and a
sluggish economy. That's not a promising recipe for creating a
lifetime retirement income.
But, it doesn't have to be that way.
There are strategies available to you that don't allow your money to be lost to
the market. Safety, security and stability will not be found by
following what has worked in the past.
Learn how our clients create a
tax-free retirement income that they cannot outlive. Stop
worrying that you will run our of money before you run out of life. This
coming Tuesday, I will be teaching an educational webinar on how to build a
lifetime retirement income. Register now while there's still space available.
Go to: www.LearnHowToRetireNow.com and enter the
required information. In order to meet the demand, we offer our
educational webi nars on Tuesday at 3:00, 7:00 & 10:00 pm Eastern
time.

Don't Let the Global Economy Ruin Your Retirement Dreams
It might seem absurd that an investor in Florida (or anywhere else in the United States) could have his retirement plans sidetracked by activity that takes place on the other side of the world. But in today’s inter-connected global economy, that’s a very realistic concern. The US economy depends on manufacturing from China. Europe is highly dependent on the Middle East for oil. Stock prices in Tokyo are influence by the inflation of the US dollar.
In short, whether we like it or not, our economic fate is very closely tied to the rest of the world. Lately, as signs indicate that the global economy may be in serious trouble, investors have reason to be worried.
A Reuters article reports on some of these troubling indicators:
Another month of slower factory activity in China and a sharp decline in a closely watched gauge of U.S. manufacturing on Thursday added to concern about the state of the global economy.
Surveys also showed business activity across the 18-country euro zone slowed this month, confounding expectations of an acceleration.
U.S. stocks edged higher, however, as investors continued to shrug off tepid data while stocks in Europe recouped earlier losses, though sentiment remained fragile.
Investors were also concerned about minutes of the Federal Reserve’s most recent meeting, released on Wednesday, which showed the U.S. central bank was set to keep winding down its stimulus spending despite recent softer economic data.
“While we expect the recovery to continue during the course of this year, the market remains volatile in the near-term as investors are nervous on the back of the U.S. tapering story,” Henk Potts, equity strategist at Barclays Wealth, said, "Fears that the U.S. economy had lost some momentum in the new year after a strong finish to 2013 were reinforced by a decline in the Philadelphia Federal Reserve Bank’s business activity index to -6.3 from 9.4 in January." A reading above zero indicates expansion in the region’s manufacturing.
What happens if the global economy falls back into recession? Are your investments structured to protect you from the volatility that would follow? If not, the simple truth is that you have placed your financial future in the hands of men and women you’ve never met in countries you probably haven’t visited. If that makes you uncomfortable, do something about it!
Are you protected from the threat of global economic volatility? Would a global recession sink your retirement dreams?
Let us show you how trademarked Personal Protected Pension Plan™ reduces your vulnerability to market risk, as well as your exposure to taxes and inflation. We eliminate market risk; in the last decade, NONE of our clients have lost a single dime in the market. Prior gains can’t be lost, either. This is why our clients have averaged over 8% during the worst economic downturn since The Great Depression.
Don’t leave your retirement dreams in the hands of people on the other side of the world. Take action! To learn more, please visit www.HiddenWealthWebinar.com.

Inflation Heating Up Across The Globe: Is Your Retirement Income At Risk?
As the world struggles to recover from the Great Recession, governments have done everything they could think of to get the economy moving again. One of these strategies was to pump the marketplace full of cash – basically by printing money. It may have worked in the short term, but it’s a very dangerous long-term game with potentially devastating effects for retirees. Now, the consequences seem to be catching up to us as the threat of inflation rises.
MarketWatch.com article reports:
Inflation is not just heating up in the U.S. Price pressures are growing globally, according to a research note from J.P. Morgan.
The brokerage powerhouse says its global inflation index jumped to 2.6% in May from 2.1% in February on a year-over-year basis. That’s where J.P. Morgan expected the pace of inflation to end up by year end. And the firm’s core inflation index, which strips out food and energy, has climbed to 2.1% from 1.8% a few months ago.
What’s surprising, J.P. Morgan economists say, is that the increase in inflation is not mainly due to higher food and energy prices. They say the sudden uptick in inflation suggests that companies are “regaining some pricing power.” In other words, companies around the world are able to pass the higher costs of doing business onto their customers by charging more.
What would happen to your lifestyle if it cost $10 for a gallon of gas? If your portfolio isn’t protected against the corrosive power of inflation, your future is at risk. As if that wasn’t bad enough, the Obama 2015 Budget Proposal plans to overhaul many retirement benefits. Learning about these changes now could be the difference of hundreds of thousands of dollars. Learn from my newly released book What To Do At 62 – How To Have a Protected Retirement Income Plan. Simply register for our new educational webinar at LearnHowToRetireNow.com
Inflation is a serious threat, and it’s growing worse every day. It’s more important than ever that you have a solid retirement plan – and we can help. We will reduce your vulnerability to market risk, as well as your exposure to taxes and inflation. We eliminate market risk; in the last decade, NONE of our clients have lost a single dime in the market. Prior gains can’t be lost, either.

How to Think About Investing When Prices Are High
In a recent article in The
Wall Street Journal, titled, “The Surging Market:
Too Late to Buy?” Brett Arends writes about the current market trend and how
this is affecting the behavior of investors. The author invites investors and
potential investors to think about how they think about the market.
As the stock market surges to new highs, those who missed a lot
of the rise have been rushing to jump on board. Most people find it very hard
to resist a crowd and, in today’s market, it can seem like everybody is making
easy money except you.
What's the best strategy to get in on this action? Should you
even try to get in on the action? Here are a couple of the key steps that Brett
suggests the average investor should follow:
1. Don't get stampeded
"Be fearful when others are greedy, and greedy when others
are fearful," advises Warren Buffett, the most successful investor in
history. Remember, the market is never so dangerous as when everyone else is
optimistic. People often engage in a circular argument that stocks must be a
good investment because they have already risen a long way. The reality could
be quite different, Fund firm GMO, which correctly predicted the market drops in
2007 and 2009, says that the outlook for stocks is the worst since 2007.
2. Have a plan
The stock market is inherently volatile. Even when it has
generated superior returns it has done so unevenly. Many investors plunge into
the market after a boom, only to sell again in panic when prices fall.
Historically, the risks of investing in the market decline the longer you stay
invested in the market. Invest in stocks only with money you don't expect to
need for four or five years.
At The
Hidden Wealth System™ we teach you how to protect yourself from the next market
correction or crash so that you can avoid the market volatility. The best way
to do this is to have the money that you cannot afford to lose to the market in
a place where it participates in the market when it goes up, but not when the
market goes down. Learn how to protect your most valuable assets the way that
the largest banks and corporations do, register and attend one of our educational
webinars. For over two decades, we have taught our clients how to avoid losing
their retirement savings to inflation, market losses and taxes. Let us show you
how to build an inflation-protected, tax-free retirement income for life.

Retirement Crisis: Will Baby Boomers Overwhelm the System?
We are facing a retirement crisis unlike anything we have faced before in this country.
The Baby Boomer generation is retiring – and it’s unclear if the weak government “safety net” will be up for the task. Social Security is on a path towards bankruptcy, Medicare is underfunded, and the federal government is running up unsustainable deficits.
Will the ever-increasing number of retirees be too much for the system to handle? What happens if the system collapses? A recent FiveThirtyEight.com article reports:
For decades, the retirement of the baby boom generation has been a looming economic threat. Now, it’s no longer looming — it’s here. Every month, more than a quarter-million Americans turn 65. That’s a trend with profound economic consequences. Simply put, retirees don’t contribute as much to the economy as workers do. They don’t produce anything, at least directly. They don’t spend as much on average. And they’re much more likely to depend on others — the government or their own children, most often — than to support themselves.
If you are counting on government benefits to fund your retirement, you may be headed for a harsh wakeup call. And even if you’re not directly dependent on Social Security, what would happen to your retirement portfolio if taxes and inflation went through the roof as a result of the Baby Boomer retirement flood? Even more threatening, The Obama 2015 Budget Proposal plans to overhaul many positive boomer retirement benefits. Learning about these changes now could be the difference of hundreds of thousands of dollars. Learn from my newly released book What To Do at 62 – How To Have a Protected Retirement Income Plan. Simply register for our new educational webinar at www.LearnHowToRetireNow.com

Traditional Planning = Lower Retirement Lifestyle
It’s been a rough five years for the American economy. The 2000’s was a lost decade for retirement savings. The three straight down market years of 2000, 2001 and 2002 along with the financial collapse of 2008 changed everything as retirement savings were wiped out. Investors saw their portfolios washed away in a matter of weeks, and many of them have yet to recover.
Most people assumed that things would turn around eventually. After all, that’s what always happens after a recession… right?
Things have improved since then… but not by much. Unemployment remains alarmingly high. The stock market is highly volatile. Government debt is skyrocketing. Those hoping for a robust recovery have been disappointed. And some analysts are beginning to wonder if this is the “new normal” in terms of economic performance.
A recent CNBC.com article explores this possibility:
In the 4 1/2 years since the Great Recession ended, millions of Americans who have gone without jobs or raises have found themselves wondering something about the economic recovery:
Is this as good as it gets?
It increasingly looks that way.
Two straight weak job reports have raised doubts about economists’ predictions of breakout growth in 2014. The global economy is showing signs of slowing—again. Manufacturing has slumped. Fewer people are signing contracts to buy homes. Global stock markets have sunk as anxiety has gripped developing nations.
It’s time to face the fact that the “same old approach” to investing will not work in this new global economic environment. It’s possible that the economy may never experience a full recovery—and if that’s the case, what will your retirement plan solution be? Are you prepared for a future of high unemployment, rising taxes, skyrocketing medical costs, and large-scale inflation?
If not, we can help.
Let us show you how our trademarked Personal Protected Pension Plan™ removes your vulnerability to economic uncertainty, as well as your exposure to taxes and market risk. We eliminate market risk; in the last decade, NONE of our clients have lost a single dime in the market. Prior gains can’t be lost, either.

What Happens When the Fed Stops Propping Up the Market?
There’s been some good economic news lately – a modest decline in the unemployment rate and encouraging data regarding consumer spending during the vital holiday season chief among them.
Traditionally, this would be great news for investors. But in today’s complicated financial marketplace, an improving economy means that the Federal Reserve Bank is likely to accelerate their tapering of the economic stimulus know as Quantitative Easing. As a result, the markets have actually trended downward in response to this economic news. Reuters News reports:
Concerns that the Fed would taper its stimulus earlier than expected have weighed on the market for days. The three major U.S. stock indexes recorded their biggest drop in a month on Wednesday as traders took profits from the recent rally a day after a provisional budget deal was reached in Washington. The budget agreement removed a potential economic hurdle cited by the Fed in September when it chose to keep its stimulus intact.
Many market participants have expected the Fed to announce a cut in stimulus in March, but that timeline may have been accelerated by some in the wake of Friday’s better-than-expected November payrolls report. The Fed has said it would slow its $85 billion a month in bond purchases when certain economic measures meet its targets, including a drop in the U.S. unemployment rate.
What’s going to happen when the Fed begin to hasten the tapering of its “stimulus” program? It’s impossible to say for sure, but it seems certain that we’re in for an extended period of market volatility. An even more important concern is if the stock market can even function at all without the Fed support.
Can you afford to risk your future on a volatile market?. Let us show you how to reduce your vulnerability to market risk, as well as your exposure to taxes and inflation. We eliminate market risk; in the last decade, NONE of our clients have lost a single dime in the market. Prior gains can’t be lost, either.
