missed fortune super blog itunes 150x150 Liquidity, Safety, and Rate of ReturnDid you miss this week’s show? Doug Andrew discussed the following:

Let’s talk today about what you should be doing to take ownership of your future.  What are the three essential elements to any type of prudent investment?

#1 Liquidity – Can I get my money back when I want it?  People get into trouble when they don’t have access to their own money.

#2 Safety – Is it guaranteed or insured?  How safe is it?  No matter what happens in the economy, is your money safe?  Many people who invested in traditional conservative investments like 401(k)s and IRAs have learned this lesson the hard way.  Use financial vehicles that protect your money during hard times.  Our clients, who have followed the Missed Fortune strategies, haven’t lost any money during this recession.

#3 Rate of Return – People generally will give up a little safety for a little larger rate of return.

Three choices for your money: 1) Fixed Rate Instruments – Your money is put into relatively conservative financial instruments that generally have lower rates of return. 2) Variable Products – These are products that allow you to have great returns of 20-30% during the good years but during economic hard times you can also lose 30% or more. 3) Indexed Products (the middle ground) – This type of financial product gives you returns that are greater than the rate of inflation during good years but keeps your money safe so you don’t lose a dime when the market goes down.

Attend our three hour event live over the internet or in person in San Diego on Tuesday the 14th or Saturday the 18th: Don’t miss your chance to understand how to protect your money during this economic crisis and get competitive rates of returns during the good years. This strategy is called indexing and you need to know all about it. Call 888-76-Radio (888-767-2346) to register for either Tuesday’s or Saturday’s event.

missed fortune super blog itunes 150x150 Obama and Three Choices for Your MoneyObama and Three Choices for Your Money

Did you miss this week’s show? Doug Andrew discussed the following:

Attend our one hour event live over the internet on Tuesday at 11:00 am or 6:00 pm Pacific: Don’t miss your chance to understand how to protect your money during this economic crisis and get competitive rates of returns during the good years. This strategy is called indexing and you need to know all about it. Call 888-76-Radio (888-767-2346) to register for either event on Tuesday.  You can also register here on the web.

Rather than listening to what President Obama says, watch what he does over the next few months and the next couple of years.  They are not congruent!  As many politicians do, he says whatever he needs to say to appease the audience he is addressing.  We’re in for a ten ring circus the next couple of years, with many more wild initiatives to come.

Take control and ownership of your future. Don’t rely on having the government provide your retirement or health care.  It’s when we take ownership of anything that we take better care of it.  When is the last time you washed a rental car?  Do take better care of your home if you own it?

Three choices for your money:  1) Fixed Rate Instruments – Your money is put into relatively conservative financial instruments that generally have lower rates of return. 2) Variable Products – These are products that allow you to have great returns of 20-30% during the good years but during economic hard times you can also lose 30% or more.  3) Indexed Products (the middle ground) – This type of financial product gives you returns that are greater than the rate of inflation during good years but keeps your money safe so you don’t lose a dime when the market goes down.

missed fortune super blog itunes 150x150 Are You a Striver or a Thriver?Are You a Striver or a Thriver?

Did you miss this week’s show? Doug Andrew discussed the following:

Attend our one hour event live over the internet on Tuesday at 11:00 am or 6:00 pm Pacific: Don’t miss your chance to understand how to protect your money during this economic crisis but get competitive rate of returns during the good years.

Three solutions for economic stimulus: 1) Where is the flat tax?  Let’s make taxes simple.  How about a one page tax return that takes less than an hour to fill out.  2) Tax us when we consume, not when we conserve. 3) Privatize Social Security.

Five categories of financial mindsets: 1) Strivers – These are the people who have too much month left at the end of the money.  They can also be called financial jellyfish.  2) Arrivers – Those who learn and apply money dynamics 3) Thrivers – These are individuals who understand how to use the three miracles of wealth accumulation.  4) Survivors – These are people who hunker down and stop doing what they use to do to accumulate their money.  5) Divers – These individuals will outlive their money!

missed fortune super blog itunes 150x150 Why Defer Taxes If Taxes Are Going Up? Why defer taxes if taxes are going up?

Did you miss this week’s show? Doug Andrew discussed some of the following topics:

I’m really concerned about the rate that the national debt is increasing.  Two things are highly predictable:  1) Your money will never be worth more than it is today 2) Your current tax bracket is likely the lowest bracket you will ever be in.

If we know taxes are going up in the future, do you want to have a financial strategy that defers taxes?  Qualified plans such as 401k(s) and IRAs defer taxes.  Is that the right strategy for you?

An engineer who was in my office this week really gets it.  He understands that a maximum funded insurance contract is a far better alternative.  He is protected and doesn’t  lose money when the market goes down but gets competitive rates of return when the market is going up.

missed fortune super blog itunes 150x150 Is Your 401(k) now a 201(k)?

Is Your 401(k) now a 201(k)?

Did you miss this week’s show? Doug Andrew discussed the following:

We have four goals for each of you listening to Missed Fortune Radio.  1) Increase your money supply. 2) Create more and better benefits for you. 3) Eliminate unnecessary tax.  4) Be able to do all of this without increasing your cash outlay one dime.

How many of you saw your qualified plans go down in value these last couple of years?  These plans for retirement use investment vehicles such as 401(k)s, IRAs, 457s, pension plans, profit sharing, 403(b)s, and tax sheltered annuities.  Many of these plans are now half the value that they once were.

Traditional financial planning is giving the same old advice and strategies that they always have and we all know the kind of “results” this advice has produced.

missed fortune super blog itunes 150x150 Some People Did Not Suffer Any Losses

Some People Did Not Suffer Any Losses the Last Two Years

We want to welcome new stations to Missed Fortune Radio:

KIOU in Shreveport LA,  KLNG in Omaha NE WFAM in Augusta GA, WYYC in York PA, WNBY in Pensacola FL, WIJD in Mobile AL, WSKY in  Ashville NC, KWDF Alexandria LA, WBXR in Huntsville AL, WCPC in Tupelo MS, WLMR in Chattanooga TN, KPRC in Houston, TX

Did you miss this week’s show? Doug Andrew discussed the following:

Recovering from losses can be tough when money is left in the market. Realize that when an account loses 50 percent of its value, the account has to experience a 100 percent gain just to get back to the break-even point. That could take years in this volatile economy.

Some investors who had $100,000 in the S&P 500 during the last 10 years saw their money grow, but then dissipate to $68,000. Had they used indexing, they could have had a current account value of $178,000.

Because of the overall response to our 3 hour seminar this last week held live in Salt Lake City, Utah and broadcast nationally over the web, we’re going to do an encore presentation this coming Tuesday, May 19th, from 5:30 PM – 8:30 PM Pacific

missed fortune super blog itunes 150x150 Standing on the Corner of Confused and Troubled

Standing on the Corner of Confused and Troubled

We want to welcome new stations to Missed Fortune Radio

Did you miss this week’s show? Doug Andrew discussed the following:

When David Walker, Comptroller General of the United States Government Accountability Office (GAO), left office about one-and-a-half years ago, he stated he needed to retire so he could tell the American public the truth.

The truth is we currently have national debt that exceeds $11.2 trillion, which represents a liability of $36,000 per American citizen.

The U.S. economy is a sinking ship, and Congress is preoccupied rearranging the deck chairs, hoping that more weight on the portion still above water will bring the ship level. It’s time that Americans board a life boat and weather the economic storms ahead.

missed fortune super blog itunes 150x150 How Should You Use Your Income Tax Refund?

How should you use your income tax refund?

We want to welcome Three new stations to Missed Fortune Radio: KTSA 550 AM in San Antonio, TX and KCBQ 1170 AM and KPRZ 1210 AM San Diego, CA

Did you miss this week’s show? Doug Andrew discussed the following:

How to protect yourself from economic storms.  How to convert your tax refund into a $300,000 retirement fund.  How to redirect otherwise payable income taxes to causes that you support, including your own retirement.

I’m flabbergasted how many people overpay their taxes.  Right now many of you are probably going to be getting an income tax refund in the next few weeks.  You’ve been lending your extra money to the government and they don’t pay you interest on that money, even though they’ve been using it for the last year.

Do you know that for every $1,000 dollars that you get back for your income tax refund, you could have $100,000 during retirement?  If you put that $1,000 dollars away in an investment every year you could have over $100,000 in just 25-30 years at a 7% return.

Instead of consuming it, what if you invested (conserved) it?  What Dave Ramsey and Suze Orman don’t understand about life insurance.
