What to do if your investment account is down?

 

What to do if your investment account is down?

Hey, everybody has “lost” money in this market—on paper. Do what the Fed is doing with its $330 Billion “loss:” Fed carrying $330 B in unrealized losses on its assets according to Q1 financial statement. DO NOT SELL. If you need some cash before the market rebounds, sell $3,000 in down securities. You can deduct this amount against your other income on your taxes. You can avoid the two KILLERS of wealth accumulation—taxes and fees. Life is not without emergencies so wise investors have funds they can always tap if needed. Your paper “losses” can be overcome by waiting. Since 1871, the stocks in the broad market have maintained an annual return of 11%—a real return of over 9%. Unless you are a market timer, hold your assets like the Fed. Assets will again provide you with a long-term positive return. No one knows how long but if you sell you will definitely suffer a long-term loss of years of 11% accumulations. Don’t watch acct!

What to do if you don’t have a tax-advantage account at work?

Folks with 401k or 403b at work get to defer taxes by lowering their taxable income. They pay the tax on this income and the earnings on this income when they retire after age 72. Some employers even give them money to contribute. But many people don’t have this offer. Actually, those who don’t have a plan at work can get an even better deal—a tax-FREE retirement plan. By paying tax immediately, your contributions and their earnings can be completely free of federal and state income taxes. You can spend all your nest egg with no taxes. This also means your Social Security benefits (usually taxed up to 85%) may be tax-FREE too. Example: contribute your tax refund (averages $3,000) each year for at least 34 years and never pay tax on over $1 million. Warren Buffett is your advisor. You can spend the $102,000 contributions and the $919,768 earnings with no taxes. Even if you have a plan at work, you can use this IRS-OK account too.

Is passive index investing right for you?

Pick your index fund: over time, your diversified investments grow at about 11%. Investing your annual tax refund of about $3,000, it’s worth about $55,684 in 10 years, $213,795 in 20 years and $1,021,768 in 34 years. As Warren Buffett says, his fortune is due to compounding. Without compounding, our $3,000 for 34 years would be worth only $102,000. Of course the people who make money from your money will claim that they can make you even more money. However, even Buffett admits wise stock picking doesn’t last forever. No one has the perfect analytic tools to make perfect choices all the time. Buffett did well because he began investing early and his dad was a broker. He learned wise investing from Benjamin Graham at Columbia U. Unless you have insider information about a stock, you can reach your money goals easily just by using Buffett’s best advice. And your $1 million can be tax-FREE.

Are you ready for Medicare living help?

In 2020, about 50% of Americans living alone lacked the resources to pay for their basic living needs. 50% of elders in the richest country in the world can’t afford the basics! What kind of society does that? Some states are helping by covering the cost of Medicare Part B which costs $170.10 a month this year. Some cover Part D—prescriptions. Costs will go up next year with inflation over 6%. You may qualify for help if your total income is less than $18,347 (single) or $24,719 (couple). However, if your rent, utilities and phone are over $1000, you can’t afford much food or transport. Forget about getting sick—Medicare does not cover everything medical. A single aspirin can cost $30 per pill in the E.R. Since most people don’t read The Times, many in need don’t even know about these programs let alone how to fill in their long application forms.

Are you stressed by financial troubles?

Six in 10 folks are uncomfortable talking about their financial stress with other people. Some avoid social events for this reason. Since our schools don’t teach how to deal well with money—beyond opening a bank account—we have two options: 1. pay an expensive financial advisor or 2. learn on your own. Most successful small business people had to learn on their own. Yes, they pay an accountant to help with some decisions but most working people earning less than $75,000 don’t need an accountant. The hardest part about handling money is learning control. Most of us are wasting HALF our income paying interest to someone via high cost credit cards, auto loans or over our head rent/mortgage expenses. Paying an advisor all your life can take up to 63% of what your savings could provide you. According to Vanguard’s John Bogle, “fees will erode 63 percent of what you would have had.” Learning what you need to know to control your financial life is easier now that we have the internet. However, since there is a lot of trash lying around to slip on, you need an unbiased guide. I had all my retired industry friends help me assemble all the information you need to succeed with your goals.

Another way the wealthy transfer their taxes to us

With more money than most of us have, the rich can achieve self-sovereignty, freedom of travel and, most importantly, access to becoming a global citizen. A second citizenship offers a hedge against political and economic turmoil, as well as the recent travel restrictions. These folks can enjoy the best of American life and avoid the costs of living here. Favorable tax laws, opportunity cost, in addition to the growing amount of uncertainty of new financial legislation, are just a few of the reasons millionaires are seeking second citizenships. Their crypto provides a secure and decentralized record of transactions, their financial life is not an open book. They can enhance self-sovereignty through hard asset and real estate designated-ownerships. They can thus avoid new reporting requirement in the US. Friendly venues include PortugalAntigua & Barbuda, and St. Kitts & Nevis. Because US citizenship protects them anywhere and they can avoid the taxes to pay for it, they can enjoy the best of the world without the costs.

Everything in universe: galaxies to stones made of subatomic energy ‘vibrations’

Light is both a particle and a wave depending on how we look at the light.

A subatomic ‘particle’ is the smallest possible vibration (quantum) of a quantum field.

Mass–energy equivalence: E=mc^2.  At the smallest level; Everything is moving!

Inside protons, neutrons, it is the fields of the virtual particles that creates its mass.

“Empty space is a boiling, bubbling brew of virtual particles that pop in and out of existence in a time scale so short that you can’t even measure them.” Space expanding.
