Retirement fund catch up strategy with same dollars
If you feel you need to catch up with your retirement fund
you are not alone. Thousands have had their accumulations stopped by the virus
pandemic. Some were laid off and some had their employer 401k match stopped.
With a new investment option, you can restore your retirement fund goals—and
you can do it with the same contribution dollar amounts. Whether you are saving
in a 401k, IRA or Roth IRA or other pension plan, the key to meeting your
long-term goals with the same level of portfolio risk is cost. First, find out
what you had been paying for your investment options. For example, if you were
paying total commission, annual expenses and 12b-1 fees of 1%, you will
end up with $80,000 less than you would if you paid HALF that amount
annually. Most investors have investment options that cost less and produce the
same annual returns over time. By using the less costly version, you can reach
your planned end number even though you have lost some time investing. If you
keep giving away that extra 0.5% to your current fund provider, you will need
to add an extra $1,400 a year to reach your total target accumulation. Switch
to the best low-cost funds available.
Is “modified value investing” right for you?
Expensive advisors at Bank of America claim their “quality
plus value” approach would have led to continued outperformance after the
financial crisis. Value investing has been lagging the growth style for some
time. Value investing is usually means stocks that appear to be trading for
less than their intrinsic or book value. Value investors actively ferret
out stocks they think the stock market is underestimating. Growth investors tend to favor
small, young companies poised to expand, expecting to profit by a rise in their
stock prices BofA
said its “quality meets value” stock screen turned up names like Intel,
Verizon, Coca-Cola and UPS. But BofA is really talking about ‘blue chip’
stocks. The four examples given above are not trading at “less than their
intrinsic value.” They are in most consumer and pension portfolios. Since
Warren Buffett is known as a value investor, his recommendation for most
investors is to stick with the low-cost index and keep the high-cost stock
pickers’ fees. Plus you own these stocks via the index.
We each pay $10,739 for health care so rich have the best
We spend DOUBLE what other countries spend but we get sick
and die earlier. All the spending goes to care for the wealthy. There is no
basic care for each of us. Even the middle class earning over $100,000 a year
will be unable
to afford care if they lose their job. This so-called “Free-market” system
is a means of subsidizing the wealthy and owners of the hospitals, drug firms
and insurance firms that lobby our Reps to keep the windfall growing. Our life
expectancy—one measure of poor healthcare—has been falling since the ‘90s while
other developed countries has been rising. In 2017, the
Swiss lived 5.1 years longer than Americans but spent 30% less per person,
for instance. We spend more than any other country for care but we get less. We
don’t negotiate drug or procedure prices unlike almost every other industry.
That is not capitalism, that’s socialism for the rich. Compare what is
happening in the financial sector—lower commissions, more access to info, more
service choices, lower costs overall. If you have a serious illness, your
hospital, doctor and drug bills
are full of overcharges that bankrupt most people even when they have great
insurance. A
‘free’ virus test can cost $2,121.

Was your advisor advising you during this volatile period?
One-third
of investors said their professional was nowhere to be found during the
pandemic, according to a new study by J.D. Power. Since most folks who pay
advisor fees say they pay so they have someone to discuss their situation with,
it seems their advisor is getting paid for no work. Since fees
can rob us of up to 63% of our total possible accumulations, it does not
seem fair to give up so much for so little. Advisors are not going to know what
to do in this market since we have never faced a soaring market with 50
millions out of work. Advisors
give out common sense and call it “professional” service. Paying a 1% fee
every quarter does not seem terrible until we look at our returns. If we earn
3% total return and we pay 1%, we are not being served well. Is your advisor a
trustworthy resource in times of trouble or just an expense? There are
alternatives. This is the time to make the change since earnings will be low
for the foreseeable future. Unless your advisor cuts costs, you lose.
Tax return due July 15: Extension automatic with form
If you could not meet with your preparer and can’t complete
the online tax return using one of the FREE software programs, you can
obtain an extension to October 15 just by filing a form with an estimate of
what you owe. IRS wants the money—the return can wait—since they have 3 years
to find any errors. Fill and print and pay form: https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f4868.pdf
Paper return refunds delayed again. No folks.
If you cannot pay now, sign a payment plan so you pay over
time. Since millions are out of work, this is expected to be big solution. It
is unclear
what your interest rate will be.
