Three principles of investing

 

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.

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.
