Well which is it? We have lost $1.2 million over 8 years following this rolling period story. If we follow this story over the next 15 or 20 years with an income draw of 3% or 4% how much will we lose? How about when we will go broke? No way! We want guarantees that we will not go broke? We want guarantees that we will live very well in retirement.This is why annuities work for us and why we will do only a small percentage in index stocks.

What we learned was that the financial advisors advice today was no different than 8 years ago. Except for the balance between stocks and bonds which was a bit less on stocks.

The only comfort they offered about the risk of their portfolio and they all used it, was the rolling time period story. Now, we both have good memories so my husband and I picked up on this quickly. 8 years ago in our advisor interviews the rolling period was 10 years. Now in current interviews some discussed 15 years and some 20 years. Why should we believe this now when the 10 year rolling period did not work for us? Another example was the amount of income we could draw from our portfolio. 8 years ago they said a 5% to 6% draw and we would not run out of money. Now, with straight faces, they say 3% to 4% draw and we would not run out of money. Well which

This was a money saving tip from MD Cooperative Extension... "If you save just $2.74 a day and invest it in a tax-deferred account that just matches the historic return of the the stock market, you would have more than $1 million after 40 years." With a search I found the historic return of the stock market is 10-12% but I don't know what kind of account to invest in. Are there accounts with a fixed interest rate of at least 10%, that are tax-deferred, and that I can make small contributions toward on a regular basis? Any advice it appreciated!

This is a recent development. It looks like two frames are sent then
immediately split - one on bottom with actual chart & one on top with all other info - including a big white space where chart originally was displayed. To see chart you have to scroll down... about a page worth.

I owned both FGRIX (Fidelity Growth and Income) and FLPSX (Fidelity Low Priced Stock) and both were absolutely massacred on 9/5/2006, but especially FGRIX. The losses were huge... far, far more than any market index. How can a large diversified mutual fund lose 20% of its value in a couple of days when the market only loses... maybe 1% in the same time ? I am baffled. Please provide any relevant info sources, because this seems really, really weird to me.

The reason I ask this question is because I recently came across a myspace.com profile (/allsportsmarket) that exlplains how a start-up company from Costa Rica is currently lobbying their novel sports derivative exchange to US congressmen and senior finanical officials in Virgina. By creating a legalize regulated non-gambling method of tying team performance to financial incentives, and then subsequently taxing the transactions; wouldn't any government be in favor of recoveing millions of follars that go offshore every year to sports wagering outfits?
