Are You Financially Ready For Retirement?

February 12, 2010 · Filed Under Investing · Comments Off 

It might seem strange to think about your retirement if you are only in your 30s or 40s, but in actual fact this makes it even more important to consider. Pensions aren’t what they used to be, so the more arrangements you can make now, the better off you will be financially when the time eventually comes.

Regardless of whether you work for a publicly or privately run company, you should do all you can to find out where you stand with regard to your pension. In many cases someone who is paying into a pension will have their payments matched by their employer.

This sounds good in principle – but in reality you need to consider how the pension scheme will be faring once it comes time for you to draw from it.

This is a big problem at the moment, and one that has been getting bigger for some time. For example, changes in the types of pensions available have led to the virtual demise of the final salary scheme. This was long regarded as the best one to have, for obvious reasons.

If you read some of the latest information available for pensions you will see that pension pots are getting smaller and smaller, but why should you worry about this when you aren’t actually drawing your pension yet?

You need to look to the future for the answer. Let’s suppose your company has its own pension pot. Every year £5 million is paid into it by those contributing to the scheme, and £5 million is taken out by those who have retired and are drawing their pensions.

That’s all well and good – but what happens when more people retire and fewer people are taken on by the company or fail to pay into a pension at all? A longer life expectancy is making this a reality right across the country right now.

This situation leads to more money being taken out than there is being put in. This is why so many pension schemes in both sectors of business are in trouble. They are taking out more than they are putting in – and with each year that passes the situation gets worse.

It stands to reason therefore that a pension alone may not be the best solution to funding your retirement. Regardless of whether you have a private or a public/”>public”>http://www.publicservice.co.uk”>public sector pension, you should make sure you put money away yourself too in order to give yourself the retirement you want.

So don’t just rely on that pension. Start saving in other ways too from this moment on, and you will be financially better off for it when you are finally given your gold watch.

February 12, 2010 · Filed Under Investing · Comments Off 

If you have ever traded the stock market, you know that it is really hard to make a consistent profit, and there is a perfectly good explanation for this.

Indeed, in order to make a profit trading stocks not only you need to be sure that the price is going to move in a given direction, but also, you must be right about the magnitude of such movement, because if you go long on a stock which is trading at $5 and it goes up to $5.05 you will not even have enough to pay for the commissions if you are trading with $500 account.

The Easiest Way to Day Trade For Consistent Returns

February 12, 2010 · Filed Under Investing · Comments Off 

Day trading is a great way to increase the chances of growing your account, provided that you have a good trading plan in place.

However, even if that plan is a good one, day trading for consistent profits poses a great challenge, because when you set out to buy and sell stocks (or any other instrument) for a quick gain, not only must you be accurate at predicting the direction of the movements in price, but also you must determine exactly how far is the price going to go in that direction.

4 Agriculture Stocks to Feed Into Your Portfolio

January 29, 2010 · Filed Under Investing · Comments Off 

Will farmers be driving Ferraris in ten years? That’s what Jim Rogers, the legendary billionaire investor who founded the Quantum fund, thinks. We’ll have to wait and see if that turns out to be true, but his feeling is based upon a few key factors that continue to put upward pressure on the prices of agricultural goods.

3 Factors That Could Effect Agriculture Stock Prices

1.) Emerging Market Demand

Emerging-market economies like China and India are growing by leaps and bounds, moving the citizens of those countries and creating more demand for higher-end food products. But due to a combination of swelling demand and massive populations, these countries lack the infrastructure and production capacities to satisfy that ‘hunger’. China, for example, is home to 22% of the world’s population but just 7% of its arable land. So in order to fill the gap, these countries will need to swell their imports, which stand to be a boon for long-term gains in the agriculture stocks industry. Read more

Great, guaranteed interest on SAFE, solid investments for your Pension Plan

January 29, 2010 · Filed Under Investing · Comments Off 

Banks today are begging for folks to buy their foreclosed homes. I mean, they are selling at 30% to 40% of TODAY’S market value!!! The more foreclosed homes a bank has on their books, the more reserve they are required to keep and not lend. I have found that banks are accepting investor low-ball offers (when they may have higher offers,) if the buyer can close quickly….like in a week or so. That’s where you come in. Your pension plan or IRA or 401K is probably loafing around, earning a couple of points if it is earning anything at all. In fact, it is probably still losing value each and every day.

A self directed plan can invest in safe, solid mortgages and earn guaranteed, great interest with virtually NO RISK! How can I say that? If you become the bank and loan cash to the investor to buy a house, your Pension Plan has the same security as a commercial bank….with one very important difference. The banks that took huge loses this past year loaned 97-110% of the market value. We never borrow more than 50-60% of current market value! That’s a HUGE difference! If you hold a mortgage worth say $50,000 on a home valued at $100,000 and the market tanks another 20%, your investment is still secured by an asset worth $80,000. And, you are guaranteed a very high rate of return on your loan. You can maximize your pension plan growth at virtually NO risk. The timing has never been better. We know the demand for housing has to continue to grow because the population continues to grow. Read more

Candlestick Patterns Show a Faltering Dow

January 29, 2010 · Filed Under Investing · Comments Off 

The Dow Industrials Average Index has risen since early March 2009, upon the emergence at that time of an unorthodox Candlestick Reversal Pattern which foretold a massive rise in prices. The advance first moved explosively, then haltingly, and has now moved explosively again as Funds and individual investors clamor for more and more investment candy while driving prices higher in manic fashion which recalls the excesses of the Tulip Bulb Craze, the South Seas Bubble, and the stock market environments of October 1929, of early 2000, and of October 2007. The principles are the same, and the outcome will be the same this time too. Manias always come to an end; and when they do, prices return to levels which are even lower than those which obtained when the mania began.

Actually, what we are seeing now is a mania within a much larger mania, which began about 1995. This state of facts obviously bodes ill for the future of stock prices. Read more
