One of the key challenges for amateur investors is the attraction to RISING PRICES. When the prices of most consumer goods such as gasoline or vegetables rise, people tend to either cut back or find a substitute. However, with financial assets, the opposite seems true. Many investors are attracted to a stock whose price has risen more than one whose price has fallen. This tendency often results in poor investment performance. It is difficult for an individual investor to effectively construct and maintain a portfolio that is properly diversified, minimizes fees and taxes, avoids overlapping assets, and stays in its lane without emotion. THAT’S why in retirement, hiring a professional to manage your assets with a clear WRITTEN strategy is so wise. Today, we’ll review the most practical and pragmatic approach to your investments,  then Shelley Grandidge joins us for the Q & A. Don’t miss it….MASTERING MONEY is on the air!!

Secretly, we all want our investments to be “up” all the time so we can feel good, but in order to really grow wealth, buying more shares while markets are down is actually a better way to win with your investments.   All investors have one common goal in mind: to get the most return they possibly can, for the least amount of risk. Every experienced investor who has actually made money over time knows that no investment will be “up” 24/7. It has to be down sometimes, and that presents opportunity! On today’s show, we’ll dig into a strategy that can grow wealth whether markets are up or down, and works automatically even if you’re out on the golf course. Then health insurance expert Shelley Grandidge joins us. You don’t want to miss today’s show …MASTERING MONEY is on the air!

Most investors, especially in or nearing retirement, seek to reduce risk while growing capital prudently in the stock market. Gains are nice, but large drawdowns are sickening, especially in retirement when you don’t have an income stream from a full-time job and time is no longer on your side.    
When time IS on your side, and because most bear markets tend to last only six months to two years at the most, you are able to rebuild the value of your account simply by staying put, and not rushing for the exit. FACT:  The only people who lost in 2008 and 2009 were those who sold at the bottom. The market has some room to run according to experts, but we all want to keep a good share of money OUT of harm’s way. But are bonds the answer for the safe money side of your plan? Today, we’ll examine why Warren Buffett says that bonds are a terrible investment.

Strenuous, stressful work can wear people down and damage their health. In that case, RETIRING can relax and reinvigorate their lives. They finally have time to follow their passions and pursue activities that enrich their lives. But for others, the risks of retirement can involve bad health and even early death, says the Wall Street Journal. Although you might think that retiring would give a person more time to go to the gym, watch their diets, take longer walks, and work on their physical fitness, the opposite often occurs. Many retirees become sedentary and watch too much TV. They eat too much. They drink too much. They smoke too much. And, sometimes, they die too soon. Researchers find that without the purpose of fulfilling work, many retirees can feel adrift and become depressed. We’ll review the Journal’s statistics on retirement that may SHOCK you!

Bear markets, defined as a period where the stock market goes down 20% or more from its highest point to its subsequent lowest point–happen frequently—probably more frequently than you think. From 1900 – until the present, there have been 32 bear markets. Statistically, they occur about 1 out of every 3.5 years and last an average of 367 days according to Dow statistics. Bull markets tend to last much longer. Experienced investors know that the real money is made in bear markets–especially for those who don’t panic and sell, and for those who keep reinvesting dividends. They end up owning more shares purchased at lower prices. Today, we’ll provide some facts and details on how to profit when markets fall. .You don’t want to miss today’s show–MASTERING MONEY is on the air!!
