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.

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.

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.

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.

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.  This is why our clients have averaged over 8% during the worst economic downturn since The Great Depression.

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


We live in a period of economic volatility and uncertainty. 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.  This is why our clients have averaged over 8% during the worst economic downturn since The Great Depression.


There is a retirement crisis brewing in America, and it’s getting worse every day. Don’t get left out in the cold when the system falls apart. To learn more, please visit 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.  This is why our clients have averaged over 8% Tax-Free during the worst economic downturn since The Great Depression.

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.  This is why our clients have averaged over 8% during the worst economic downturn since The Great Depression.

Could a Housing Market Hiccup Ruin Your Retirement?

The economy has been showing signs of improvement lately—although the recovery is certainly taking place at a much slower pace than all of us hoped for.

One of the critical pieces of economic recovery in this country is the health of the housing market. Unfortunately, there have been signs recently that the housing market may not be as strong as it has seemed. Naturally, the media hasn’t focused on this issue; doesn’t fit their narrative of recovery.

It is important to see beyond the media hype, and to draw conclusions based off the facts, not the spin. This week Bloomberg reported on the recent struggles of the housing industry:

The residential real-estate rebound suffered a setback in June as housing starts unexpectedly fell to the lowest level in almost a year, curbing how much construction contributed to U.S. economic growth last quarter.

Work began on 836,000 houses at an annualized rate, the least since August and down 9.9 percent from a revised 928,000 pace in May, figures from the Commerce Department showed today in Washington. The drop was led by a 26.2 percent plunge in multifamily projects, which are more volatile than work on single-family homes. 

The figures were in contrast to a report yesterday showing homebuilders this month were the most optimistic in seven years as sales improved, indicating the reversal will probably prove temporary. The slump came as Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke said monthly asset purchases aimed at spurring the economy could be reduced or expanded as conditions warrant, with housing one area policy makers will monitor.  

"As construction ramps up, we’re bound to have some hiccups along the way," said Guy Lebas, chief fixed-income strategist at Janney Montgomery Scott LLC in Philadelphia. Having called for 915,000 starts, Lebas had the lowest estimate in the Bloomberg survey. “I don’t think this one data point is immediately concerning. The housing markets are going to be a driver of economic growth.” 

We certainly hope that the analysts are correct. A healthy housing market will contribute greatly to a long overdue economic recovery.

But what if housing doesn’t lead the recovery? A collapsing housing market would be devastating to financial markets—remember, it was the housing market collapse that sparked the stock market crash of 2008 in the first place. Investors who have their money exclusively in the stock market will be in really deep trouble. Also, if your main investments are held in real estate, right now is the time to lock in gains in value and to protect those gains (and yourself). This way you’ll avoid the trap of being house rich (maybe) and cash poor.

So what you should you do? Two words: “protect yourself.”  We can help. 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.  This is why our clients have averaged over 8% during the worst economic downturn since The Great Depression.

Financial Planning 101

Thirty years ago, the formula was simple. Go to college, get a good job, and invest a portion of each paycheck into the stock market. By the time retirement approached, you would have a suitable nest egg built up—plenty to retire on and enjoy a suitable lifestyle.

But things have changed. No longer can Americans trust Wall Street to act responsibly. In fact, investing into the stock market looks more like gambling than it does investing. As MoneyNews.com reports:

Stock market participants have turned more into traders than investors, and that’s not a good thing, says John Bogle, founder of Vanguard Group.

“The stock market is a giant distraction from the business of investing,” he tells The Wall Street Journal. “People look at investing more or less as trading stocks or mutual funds or God forbid ETFs [exchange-traded funds], and that has nothing to do with investing.”

The explosive increase in the frequency of trading illustrates a trend toward speculation. U.S. stocks’ annual turnover has surged to 250 percent in 2011 from 15 percent 60 years earlier, when Bogle began his investment career.

That frenzy of trading doesn’t get investors anywhere, he says. After transaction costs, advisory fees, sales loads, and administrative costs, they aren’t making much money.

Individuals should invest for the long term, mainly buying and holding index funds, he says. Bogle has no problem with the idea of ETFs, but doesn’t approve of narrowly-focused ones that are used largely for speculation.

Interestingly enough, some individuals are turning away from both speculation and investment in stocks, fleeing to bonds instead.

“People don’t trust the market anymore,” Manhattan College financial historian Charles Geisst tells The Associated Press. Individuals will likely shun stocks for a generation or more amid a “crisis of confidence” similar to the one that emerged from the 1929 market crash, he says. 

Don’t gamble with your retirement. Let us show you a better way- we’ll show you how to reduce market risk, exposure to taxation, and inflationary risk.

The Dow's Down 350+ Points - Time to Act!

The stock market closed down drastically on June 20th. It was the second day straight day of losses following Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke’s announcement that the Quantitative Easing program could end.
 
On that day, many financial advisors locked their office doors, hide under their desks and just let the phones ring and ring. They were avoiding the panicked calls from their clients whose financial portfolios were taking yet another beating (losing almost 4% in two days!).
 
At The Hidden Wealth System, our doors were open, our Wealth Architect advisors could clearly be seen walking around in the open and oddly enough, our phones weren't ringing off of the hook, unless it was a call from a traditional stock market investor that was finally sick and tired of not making any gains. Why weren't our existing clients calling us to check on their retirement savings?

Because our proven, safe-money retirement solution provides a way for our clients to participate in the up side of the market while never suffering a loss when the market goes down. In fact, our clients haven't lost a single dime in the worst economy since the great depression.

Our Wealth Architects work with you to build an overall, common sense wealth creation and preservation strategy that accounts for Hidden Wealth areas such as; 1. the avoidance of taxation on the growth and distribution of your savings, 2. market loss elimination and 3. the ability to out-pace inflation . You will not find off-the-shelf, one-size financial product like an annuity, bond, stock, or mutual fund, etc…

Are you worn out by trying to decide which one-size-fits-all financial product you should select? Are you looking for a real wealth creation and preservation solution, optimally designed for your specific financial needs and goals?

Higher Taxes Are on the Way!

As you may have heard, earlier this month the President released his budget proposal for 2013—and no surprise, it features a significant tax hike for many Americans. As the USA Today explains:

President Obama’s proposed budget plan includes $1.5 trillion in new taxes, most of it coming from an item that has divided the White House and the Republicans throughout Obama’s presidency: Tax cuts signed into law by President George W. Bush.

Those cuts are due to expire at the end of 2012 — a little less than two months after the presidential and congressional elections — but Obama only wants to end them for individuals who make more than $200,000 a year and families than make more than $250,000 annually; tax cuts for the middle class would be extended.

Obama and his team say higher taxes are needed along with spending cuts to reduce the nation’s $15 trillion-plus debt. “The president’s budget has $1 of revenue for every $2.50 for spending,” said White House chief of staff Jack Lew, speaking on NBC’s Meet The Press.

This comes as to surprise to those who have been paying attention—as the federal deficit continues to soar, the government is seeking to offset its rising costs by generating additional revenue. Specifically, married couples earning over $200,000 and individuals earning over $100,000 could be stuck paying tax rates higher than 60%!

Unless you act now, your retirement savings may severely impacted by these rising tax rates.

Protect Your Retirement Lifestyle from the Threat of Inflation

According to the U.S. Energy Administration, in 1981, a gallon of gasoline cost an average of $1.38. Based on current figures from the U.S. Department of Energy, the percentage increase in the price of a gallon of gasoline is 148% over the last 30 years. Meanwhile, data from The Congressional Research Service and the U.S. Administration on Aging show that the median income for persons age 65 and above during this same 30 year period has increased only 48 percent. This trend is not limited to just gasoline prices; the costs of housing, food, energy, and many other commodities have soared through the roof.

Most Americans are familiar with the concept of inflation and they understand that inflationary pressure makes it increasingly harder to get by, financially. What many people are missing is the connection between the last thirty years and the next thirty years.

When planning for retirement, people commonly anticipate a period of approximately thirty years. But yet, they fail to ask a simple question, “If inflation drove the cost of living up so dramatically during the last thirty years, what will happen over the next thirty years?”

If gas prices continue to increase at the same rate, in thirty years a gallon of gas will cost close to ten dollars! Food and other living costs will also experience similar cost increases. What would be the impact of these massive cost of living increases on your retirement lifestyle? Could you afford to pay over $8.50 for a gallon of gas?

The answer is grim for most prospective retirees.

There’s no doubt that inflation is a major threat to retirees. Yet, with proper planning, you can mitigate inflation’s impact.

More Wall Street Volitility - Get Off the "Dow Jones Coaster"

Do you have money in the stock market? If so, you are no doubt suffering from whiplash caused by watching the market shoot down, down, up, and then down some more. It’s like riding on a roller coaster that you really didn’t want to get on in the first place.

But, it doesn’t have to be this way! There’s no reason to ride on the “Dow Jones Coaster” every day. Our clients did not lose a single penny during these recent market swings. That’s because they only participate in market gains; they never give back any of their earnings. In our unique design you never have to make up for any losses. Not only is The Personal Protected Pension Plan™ safe from market loss but, when you retire, your distributions are tax-free.

If the past month has taught us anything, it’s that our political system is a mess—and it’s dragging the economy down the tubes with it. Between the debt ceiling debacle and the continuing European debt crisis, traditional investments face a completely uncertain future. To make matters worse, when the economy begins to recover (or even before then), inflation is likely to erode any hard-fought gains that the market may experience.

What should you do? The answer is quite simple: stop exposing your retirement to market risk! The Personal Protected Pension Plan™ is tax-free, market risk-free, and protected against inflation. Stop exposing the fruit of your life’s work to unnecessary (and rapidly increasing) risk. Stop riding on the Dow Jones Coaster for hours a day!

To see if The Personal Protected Pension Plan™ is right for you, email Millie, our Client Concierge, at millie@TheHiddenWealthSystem.com or phone her at (866) 998-7699.

There is absolutely no reason for you to subject yourself to the rapidly increasing volatility of traditional stock investments. Wall Street is simply not the solution for couples and individuals that are looking for steady, reliable growth. Contact us today and let us help you discover and uncover your hidden wealth!
