Trump’s watered-down fiduciary rules hurt our nest egg

GOP against lower drug prices but supports buying profit companies

Most US drugs cost 50-100% less for families in Canada and Europe. Some in Washington want to link some U.S. drug prices to the lower prices paid overseas. However, the drug industry and many Republicans taking their ‘gifts’ see it as a price control that violates ‘free-market’ principles. These same GOP members don’t see the violation of their so called “free-market principles” in buying 30% of YRC, a struggling trucking company. GOP backed our national bank in buying the lower-rated bonds of US firms starting in May. The GOP handed $ millions in forgivable loans to private plane companies that contributed to Trump elections. GOP wants to cut unemployment help to 50 million out of work because they say it keeps them from going back to work. GOP says $600 is “too generous and provides a disincentive for returning to work.” So GOP spends our money (future taxes) on their donors’ companies, creating a socialist economy but denies the jobless a means of survival until their jobs are safe to return to work.

Can Trump’s paramilitary occupy our cities to assure a Nov win?

With Trump’s unaccountable and masked paramilitary in our cities during election, can intimidation and violence scare voters into staying away from polls. They do that in some fascist countries? There does not seem to be any law or power that can dissuade him from continuing to hold Portland. He did it in Washington DC for the bible-walk PR stunt. Shooting tear gas at peaceful demonstrators in the park did not get a rise out of any law enforcement or the Congress. His own Justice Dept ‘watchdog’ is unlikely to find fault with the Boss over the invasion of Portland last month. He is the highest law enforcement actor and Commander of all the armed forces. He can just fire the ‘watchdogs’ like he did in the past. He has the money lined up to carry on a long court fight over the election results. He is invigorated by a fight. He has the Supremes primed to name him as President like Scalia did for Bush. Biden is wrong, there is no military other than Trump’s military since he is the supreme Commander. Look what happened in DC, Portland and next Chicago. He has the generals and Defense goose-stepping with him in the park after his troops cleared it. There is no one to stop him now and there won’t be on January 20. Only one brave public person has named this action: Philly DA: we have an “authoritarian dictator."

Wealthy are buying citizenships to avoid taxes and virus

Who do you think will be around to pay the new tax hikes required to pay for the huge federal and state budget gaps? Many wealthy folks are buying a way out of the current tax and disease environment. For as little as a $1.4 million you can isolate yourself and your family in a safe haven so you avoid taxes and yet can keep US military and health protection almost anywhere in the world. Like many corporate giants, you can claim your home somewhere else for certain benefits while living and earning in more pleasant surroundings. Specialty firms such as Henley & Partners, the world’s biggest citizenship and residency advisory firm, do most of the paperwork.

Trump’s watered-down fiduciary rules hurt our nest egg

Trump changed the Obama fiduciary rule to allow salespeople to take advantage of us when we move our retirement money from an employer. Critics claim this gives us less choice but the purpose of the Obama rule is to make sure we understand what happens to our money after the excessive fees, costs and possibility of loss with some products. Of greatest concern, said CFA director Roper, is that “many rollover recommendations won’t be held to a fiduciary standard, including the vast majority of recommendations to roll money out of a plan to purchase non-securities investments such as annuities, bitcoin, real estate, gold or other commodities. So precisely where the risks are greatest and the compensation related conflicts are greatest and the sales practice standards are weakest, the ERISA fiduciary standard will not apply." The Trump rule will allow financial advisors to receive many payments that would have been restricted or forbidden by the Obama rule, including commissions, 12b-1 fees, trailing commissions, sales loads, mark-ups and mark-downs, and revenue-sharing payments from investment providers or third parties, even within qualified plans and IRAs. High-cost products rob us of up to 63% total accumulation due to the compounding effect over time.

Is portfolio re-balancing right for you?

Has your advisor or TV guru mentioned selling some of your assets so you can buy other assets yet? This is the standard procedure for the financial sales industry. Selling and buying is how the industry creates revenue. But is this strategy good for your long-term accumulation. Many studies show that it can be good or bad depending on the performance, composition and relative size of your portfolio. Selling your winning stocks or mutual funds just because at the end of the quarter they exceeded your risk percentage only makes sense if your advisor knows they will keep growing. But advisors don’t know this. You may end up losing some valuable growth because you sold too soon. Because there is no consensus on when to sell/buy assets, most investors don’t bother. Many just use a fund that moves from stocks to bonds over a longer period. The popularity of the target-date funds show this is a practical strategy that ignores the issue. Other investors use a more intuitive strategy: designate contributions to the asset class less favored. Here you would not sell your winners; you just buy more of the losers. So when stocks soared in 2019, there has been no need to sell since stocks have returned to level ground in 2020. If you had traded stocks for bonds, you may have not been better off. For many long-term investors, stocks go up and then back down on their own. There is no need to sell to correct the balance. Stocks earn 11%; bonds earn 7% over time. Simply changing the destination of the next contribution cycle will do the job of maintaining your risk appetite. The outcome produces a delightful 8% with few bad years. The important decision is cost: Morningstar study: low-cost funds beat high-cost funds in every period.

How to deal with the bankruptcy stigma

Is giving your 401k money to a hedge fund/private placement right for you?

Trump has provided wealthy money managers a great new year present. With access to our $5.6 trillions in 401k money, the super rich will earn 2-4% commission/fees. They also pay less tax since they invented the offshore tax haven and contribute nothing to our way of life. They take their money OUT of this country. For us, this ‘alternative’ wealth option earns less for us. Over time their fees rob us of up to 63% total accumulation due to the compounding effect. Some pension funds with better fee deals than we can make have already dropped these investment options after losing more than a simple index fund. The SEC has already issued a warning about these investment managers. So why do some wealthy people buy ‘alts’ as they are called. Some say they are great for diversification and high returns. However, scientists who have studied their history say they are a poor investment choice even for the super wealthy. Warren Buffett beat the returns of 6 of these funds with his recommendation for everyone.

How to deal with the bankruptcy stigma

With 50 million Americans out of work and the end of unemployment help and eviction hiatus, many working people will need to consider this strategy for a “fresh start.” Most of us consider filing for bankruptcy an admission of failure. However, the way some have gotten through it (Recession 2007-8) was to accept the reality and move forward with the positive. One client I have was over 60 years of age and had been laid off from 3 firms that closed. Even though he had much quality experience and professional degrees, he could not find anything comparable to his former management positions. He tried sales but found that that would take years to build a customer base for a decent income.

He and his wife were forced to declare bankruptcy in 2010 after trying to live on credit cards and running up debts of $231,000. It cost them a year of anxiety, near divorce and $3,000 in legal fees. Positives: No more creditors calling at all hours, multiple letters, and fear of losing all retirement account assets, cars, home, etc. They did not share the experience with family or friends so that eliminated some feelings of shame and guilt. They were able to keep all their retirement assets, home and cars. The husband started his reduced Social Security benefits. They lived on the wife’s salary. They lived with poor credit scores for 10 years and then they had to work hard to remove it from the records. I was able to help them with advice from my books, but they had to make the tough choices. The husband tried making his own business but after spending $3,000 from credit cards, he gave up. When debt is overwhelming, you must choose the “fresh start” to be able to live your life again.

Investing has been described in many ways it is not

For some folks, it is a game, a casino, a lottery, a gamble. You hear some say they ‘play’ the market, ‘bet’ the ranch, raise their ‘stakes,’ ‘hit the big one,’ make "10-baggers," and all sorts of slang. Some dream of becoming wealthy by picking an unknown stock that blossoms into a perpetual money tree. Most working people fear losing all their money in the stock market so they don’t grow their long-term savings. Others have steadily invested all their lives because their parents were regular savers too. Some people are just lucky: consider those who purchased just 10 shares in Warren Buffett’s company Berkshire Hathaway's stock in 1985. BRK is now the costliest stock in the world, with its current price at $286,899 a share. This is primarily due to CEO Warren Buffett's choice to NOT split the shares as they rise in value. He once said that keeping the share price so high drives away traders looking to make a quick buck. BRK owns many profitable companies like GEICO and stock in others like Coke, American Express, Bank of America, and Apple. Buffett’s advice for investors follows from his experience as owner NOT as a salesperson advisor/broker.

Why the Roth IRA may be the best investment option

Other than a legal offshore tax haven, the Roth IRA/Roth 401k are the best investment account for most people. All your earnings in the account can be spent with no income tax due. Unlike a regular IRA or 401k, you pay tax on just the contributions NOT the earnings. Assuming you are saving for your later spending years, this may provide an extra 25% spending power when you most need it. Later when you can’t work or can’t work harder, this tax-FREE income will lower your tax on Social Security benefits too. The Roth IRA and Roth 401k are relatively new so in my AARP tax volunteer time, I don’t see them very often. When I do, I congratulate that client for thinking ahead. Another fact: Income tax rates are lower now so paying tax on your contributions now can save you a bundle later. For instance, let’s say you invest $250 a month, $3,000 a year in a stock index fund inside a Roth IRA for 33 years ($99,000). Your nest will be worth about $980,000. You can spend every cent of $4,683 a month tax-FREE. Plus your SS benefits are probably not taxed. With a regular IRA or 401k, you pay 22-25% in tax on this income (including 60% of SS benefits). $4,683 minus tax is $3,512 a month or $1,171 a month less. Over the average retirement life, that is $351,000 less in spending.

The stock market recovery reflects the inequality of Two Americas

With 50 million on unemployment and without jobs, how can wealthy Americans continue to support the same 2019 market level? Why are investors so confident? Where did positive 2^nd quarter company earnings come from? Wealth inequality. 10% of the richest folks own 70% of all assets. The middle class is shrinking so the top 20% own more assets than the other 80%. Since most of the market assets are owned and traded by the top 20%, it can keep going forever as long as there is confidence that their assets will grow in value. That confidence seems to come from the feeling that the US gov will print more money to bail out any large business. Jamie Dimon “This is not a normal recession.”

Our national bank, the Federal Reserve has been buying the stocks and bonds of struggling companies in this crisis. This means we, the taxpayers of a ‘capitalist’ country, are now the owners of these businesses (socialism) without any say in how poorly they are run. Investors have confidence because large companies are too big to fail. In the past if almost every retail firm was closed or severely limited in sales revenue, with millions of workers not working, the economy would be in recession or depression. Almost every store in my neighborhood has been closed or limited in traffic. Almost every family with kids has been home or working from home so we only go out for food. Yet Wall Street booms on concentrated wealth and more national borrowings. How much of American business can we afford to buy? Who will pay off our debts?

Your 401k balance is what?

Where are you compared to others by age, income, gender, industry? Don’t look at the average since one wealthy person with $ millions can demoralize all the rest. That person probably owned a company and added their lifetime profits to their 401k rollover. Not a fair comparison. For instance, the median 401(k) balance is $22,217. But a better indicator of what the majority of Americans have saved for retirement is by age.

Age                              Average 401(k) balance           Median 401(k) balance

Under 25          $4,236                                                 $1,427

25 to 34           $21,970                                               $8,126

35 to 44           $61,238                                               $22,123

45 to 54           $115,497                                             $40,243

55 to 64           $171,623                                             $61,738

65 and up         $192,887                                             $58,035

            However, a 44 year old earning minimum age is probably not going to have $22,123 in their account. You must compare income and gender to take a more realistic measure of your progress. In most cases, adding an additional 2-3% of salary a year will help because of compounding. That is the factor that helps you end up with more money without more contributions. In a stock fund, that can add another 50% to your total. Another 50% can be added by choosing a low-cost stock index fund. Check your fund costs: https://www.finra.org/investors/tools-and-calculators/using-finra-fund-analyzer. Your advisor can’t control the markets. Cost is the only factor you can control after the amount of our contribution. Over time a lower annual cost can add 50% or more.

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.
