Is Warren Buffett’s portfolio right for you?

 

Is Warren Buffett’s portfolio right for you?

Why does Buffett recommend buying and holding only two Vanguard funds for retirement? Is this strategy right for you too? In his letter to stockholders of his business, he wrote: "I believe the long-term results from this policy will be superior to those attained by most investors -- whether pension funds, institutions, or individuals -- who employ high-fee managers." Buffett credits “compounding” for his astounding investment success. So he advocates a low-cost index fund of the 500 largest companies as the best investment for most of us. He warns us against giving high-cost advisors our money since they can’t beat the index and their costs can take up to 63% of our potential accumulations. Nearly 92% of advisor funds have trailed the index of S&P 500 firms over the last 15 years. Over time, Vanguard’s 500 Index earned over 11% a year. That means your money doubles every 7 years. Your $250 per month contribution can provide you with $1 million in 35 years. Buffett proved his advice by beating a Wall Street guru with 5 hedge funds. Unless you are smarter than Buffett, Buffett’s way is right for you: https://www.amazon.com/Warren-Buffetts-Vanguard-Funds-Retirement/dp/1496148592

 

What do you own if you own a 500 Index fund?

Why is a 500 index fund growing so much? The Vanguard 500 Index fund has grown at 30% over the last year, 16% over the last 3 years, and 16% over the last 5 and 10 years. This is very unusual. Historically this index has grown at 11% per year. Info tech is the main reason for this trend as you can see by the largest contributors to the index’s growth. These corporations make up 30% of the Vanguard 500 Index fund:

1          Microsoft Corp.

2          Apple Inc.

3          Alphabet Inc.

4          Amazon.com Inc.

5          Tesla Inc.

6          Meta Platforms Inc.

7          NVIDIA Corp.

8          Berkshire Hathaway Inc.

9          JPMorgan Chase & Co.

10        UnitedHealth Group Inc.

If you own the companies in the index, you own some of these companies and their gains and dividends. If you pay low-fees like Vanguard’s version at 0.04%, your account grows faster than if you pay 1-2% a year. You own a broad diversified part of the world stock market. Use Warren Buffett’s strategy "A very low-cost index is going to beat a majority of the amateur-managed money or professionally-managed money."

Retirement budget: do a dry run now

What will you have to spend and what is your spending plan? Going on a journey like this one without a plan is asking for a disaster. You may need money to last 30 years—60 to 90—for at least one in your family. Stay ahead of inflation—the silent ‘killer.’ Unless you plan to work till you drop, a plan can help you succeed not just survive. If you began early enough you could have $2 million to spend without income taxes with the New American Retirement System. If not, you need to make a dry run now so you can make adjustments. You will need to make a Spending Plan for both of you. Estimate your Required Minimum Distributions from pensions and IRAs and how much tax you will have to pay. Find any old pensions and accounts you may have left behind.

You will need every penny. https://www.amazon.com/Your-Retirement-Budget-Investments-Income/dp/1483946487

 

Is a 401k annuity right for you?
Several mutual fund firms are offering an annuity guaranteed income from your 401k or 403b. Many workers have said they are interested in putting some of their retirement savings into an investment option that would guarantee them monthly income when they retire and help ensure they don’t outlive their savings. This makes sense for many since the guaranteed pensions of the past are gone. Employers do not want the risk of maintaining a pension payout for their employees for life. Recent law has reduced the fiduciary risk for employers and made it easier for them to provide annuities as a retirement plan distribution option. This may be a great option for you if you have other money invested to help defeat inflation during retirement. However, the monthly income guarantee comes at a cost. Firms take 1-3% annual fees to provide “monthly income you can’t outlive.” But the amount is cut in HALF by inflation over time. There are less expensive ways to obtain a “steady, reliable stream of income to help cover your expenses in retirement.” Be careful. Annuities are not cancelable.

Look at all options first: https://www.amazon.com/Best-Annuity-Strategy-Income-Growth/dp/1497532019

How to eliminate your income tax

 

Your car premium and credit score

Insurance industry has your data proving that if you have a bad credit score, you're more likely to slam on the brakes or step hard on the gas. The premium you are charged is determined by your demographics: less educated, unmarried, sell real estate. They released a white paper that it says validates auto insurance pricing decisions based on credit scores, marital status, education level and occupation. The research paper says telematics data collected from January 2017 to June 2019 shows that two behaviors that are known to correlate with increased claims cost — hard braking and hard accelerating — also correlate with insurers’ pricing practices. However, credit scores may penalize people for events they cannot control, such as loss of a job or a death in the family. The use of credit-based insurer scores is banned in California, Hawaii, Massachusetts, Michigan and Washington. Unless you live in these states, your option is to eliminate any negative and incorrect information at the credit bureaus. If that is not successful, you must shop a new insurance firm that many not use your negative score. A local insurance agent may help you find the right carrier for your needs.

Three principles of investing

One: no advisor, broker or Wall Street guru can predict the future of a security. Two: the more you pay for investing advice the less you get to keep. Your costs include fees, commissions, taxes, charges, and buying/selling at the wrong time. Three: over the long term, steady investing and re-investing provide the highest return. The Miracle of Compounding is the central factor in building wealth. Any person can achieve all three. John Bogle founder of Vanguard gave us easy low-cost index funds. Warren Buffett proved index funds beat managed funds. Senator William Roth gave us accumulation without taxation. Investing is easy but hard—hard to control our emotions.

90% of wealth is controlled by 10% of the population

To prop up Wall Street wealth, the Federal Reserve, bought bond ETF mutual funds in 2020 and bailouts in 2008. That is, you and I as tax payers used our borrowed money to give money to companies so they would not go out of business and the wealthy lose money. When a government enters the private financial markets, this is a classic example of state socialism. “state ownership of the means of production, either as a temporary measure or as a characteristic of socialism in the transition from the capitalist to the socialist mode of production or communist society.” In a capitalist system, investors are rewarded if the business succeeds. If the business fails, the investors lose their money. In the American style of socialism, we taxpayers are forced to save the businesses that would have failed: “no-lose casino.” Our representatives write the laws (with lobbyists’ help) that allow this socialism to continue claiming that poor workers would suffer from lost jobs if government did not bail out failing businesses. Our representatives are elected using funds supplied by the businesses that receive the money. And why are we still giving subsides to Farm, Oil, Export businesses and our state/local money (gov subsidies) to big businesses like Royal Dutch, Intel, Alcoa, Boeing? Only socialist countries give tax money to private businesses and their wealthy owners/shareholders.

Socialism, American style: https://www.amazon.com/Americas-Socialism-Rich-little-people/dp/1535218584

 

How to eliminate your income tax

When you have securities in your Wall Street firm account, you don’t need to produce income the old fashioned way. Our tax system taxes “earned income” and capital “gains” when you recognize the gains from selling the asset. What if you don’t earn income or sell assets? What if you take a loan using your securities as collateral? A loan is not taxed so you don’t pay taxes on the money you have to spend. Many brokerage firms are willing to lend against up to 60% or 65% of a client's portfolio, depending on its level of risk. Morgan Stanley and Merrill are lending mostly to their proprietary clients. Anyone who wants to access low-interest cash without incurring capital gains and, more importantly, giving up the growth of the securities can do so. You can ‘borrowing on margin’ through your investment account or borrow against the cash value in your life insurance policy. If you never pay back the loan, your heirs can skip paying taxes too since the cost basis of the security or real estate will step up to the fair market value on the date of the owner’s death. This strategy is better than Trump’s trumped up real estate losses strategy since you don’t need to dabble in real estate or casinos to make it work. Avoid taxes even without borrowing from Wall Street.

Will any of these 55 tax avoiders actually pay the 15% global tax?

 

Is a traditional 60/40 portfolio right for you?

Savers and investors who tell their advisor that they do not want to take excessive risk are usually given the 60/40 option—60% of their investments are in stocks and 40% are in bonds. If you pay an advisor to pick your stocks and bonds, this traditional portfolio may work for you and let you sleep through the night. When they quit working, their stock holdings are reduced to 30%. But what if you have not saved enough for the retirement you envision? Buffett has suggested a 90% stock 10% cash position for his eventual widow's retirement portfolio. This does not work for most of us since we don’t have the level of assets Buffett’s widow will have. Some of my readers operate on a LOW-COST 70/30 option in retirement since they have a balanced portfolio and large pension/IRA/SS income. Others have been lucky to rely on a “total return” strategy during one of the longest bull markets in history. They try to reduce their taxable income by buying non-dividend stocks like Buffett’s well-diversified firm with no commissions. They built emergency funds to pay for 2 years of expenses to survive a market drop. For most of us, the Target Date funds offer the best compromise for pre- and post-retirement portfolios. The key to success is low-cost funds or securities since we earn more when paying less.

https://www.amazon.com/Warren-Buffetts-Vanguard-Funds-Retirement/dp/1496148592

 

Should you invest 10% or 20%?

This is a constant question I hear. Answer: it depends. First, more savings is always better since we are living longer and the prices will be higher later. Talk of higher inflation is already moving money from bonds to stocks. Second, if we have time to invest (retirement is 5+ years away), we should be investing in stocks not bonds. Yes, the stock market has already gone up over the historical average of 11% per year but there is no alternative. Savings at under 2% per year will not even cover the price increases for one year let alone for our future. Third, given the historical inflation rate of 3%, we must invest in stock or balanced funds and the cheaper the better. There is no reason to pay 2% commission, fees, trading timing failures to someone who cannot guarantee inflation-beating returns. Most of us have not invested enough during out working years, so starting at 10% and increasing the percentage each time we receive a raise makes sense. Obviously, if your nest egg is low due to low returns or employment pause, you must increase it to stay on track for the future benefits of income. You can run simulations of your final nest egg balance and how long it will last here: https://retirementplans.vanguard.com/VGApp/pe/pubeducation/calculators/RetirementNestEggCalc.jsf

Is AFLAC insurance right for you?

This pays you cash if your accident or illness is covered. You will not receive what you might expect given the premiums you have paid. The insurer pays claims at about HALF what you might expect to receive after your health insurer pays your medical bills. This is an insurance company and they determine how much your payout for an illness or accident will be. Not every situation is covered. For many folks, this is a “forced savings” product. That means you might be better off putting your premium into an emergency fund—a balanced mutual fund at low cost or high-paying bank CD. A disability policy that your employer pays means that the benefit you receive is taxable income to you.

Will any of these 55 tax avoiders actually pay the 15% global tax?

The global minimum tax is a way to prevent large multinational corporations from shifting their profits to low-tax countries, such as Ireland (12.5% corporate rate) and Switzerland (8.5% corporate rate). Until now, this has been done by setting up subsidiaries in these tax havens. By maintaining a minimum tax rate of 15% in the vast majority of countries, there is virtually no place remaining (other than Kenya, Nigeria, Pakistan and Sri Lanka, which have not yet agreed to the rate) to shift profits to—particularly from intangibles (patents, trademarks, software, royalties on intangibles). Those who support the tax expect it will boost the global economy and incentivize multinationals to keep more profits—and the tax on them—at home. As it stands now, the tax would only apply to large multinational corporations. This means corporations with profits outside their borders exceeding $868 million. It would not impact the tax rate charged by the corporations’ home countries. Yet another layer of the global minimum tax is for the largest multinationals, with excess profits (profits in excess of 10% of revenue). The tax rate here would be 25%. The law has not yet been enacted by the U.S. So only the little people pay tax and the wealthy pay our Reps to keep it that way.

Is working as long as you can right for you?

One of the biggest regrets some folks have is not seeing their co-workers on a regular basis. Many say they plan to get together but somehow it never happens. The benefits of working, even part time, are many. Many feel lost in retirement since their lives revolved around their mates at work. ‘Friends for life’ is how they describe those they have seen for 5, 10, 20 years. Unless you are working in a coal mine or warehouse, you should stay connected to your network. 1^st health benefits of seeing your group and receiving health care benefits can’t be discounted. Working requires using your body parts. The old saying, “use it or lose it” is true for many retirees. You may enjoy many more years with family and friends when you are active. You don’t have to gym or golf or run to stay healthy according to new research. Walking is fine. 2^nd because you are called upon to make decisions—any decision—you will ward off the onset of some possible memory or dementia problems. You won’t get stuck watching TV, playing computer games or staring at the monitor all day. You may even increase your skills in case you want another career. 3^rd you can spend more money. In fact, adding more to your nest egg will provide you with peace of mind. Your SS benefits will be greater since every year you do NOT take benefits adds 8% to your payout. You can work and take extra benefits after your Full Retirement Age without penalty. After age 70, your benefits do not grow larger but they may have doubled from the amount you would have received at age 62. If you are still working and contributing to FICA after FRA, your benefits are recalculated each year. So instead of $1,463.80 a month you could receive $2,975.00. Eventually, you will have to withdrawal funds from your 401k, IRA, etc so you need to plan your spending.

Can you live on dividends alone?

Some investors accumulate enough stocks that pay dividends they can live on them as retirement income. The list of so called Dividend Kings provides a broad selection of stocks with a solid history of dividend payments. You know many of these firms already: Coke, 3M, J&J, but there are many not well known. Now you have mutual funds and ETFs of these stocks. The downside to ever increasing dividend income is dividend tax. To become a Dividend King, a company must have at least 50 consecutive years of dividend increases. Because of that high standard, it likely doesn’t come as a surprise that only an exclusive list of firms make the list. In 2021, there are just 31 Dividend Kings. This strategy provides the value tilt to your portfolio—growth stocks are light on dividends. “Dividends can offset losses if the market is declining and help with inflation.”
