The Fed today is not our friend. Its "low rates forever" policy means we must look elsewhere for yield. Dividend-paying stocks don't help. Blue chips don't pay more than 2% or 3%. On a $1 million portfolio, that's less than $30,000 in annual income. Not enough. There's a better way. Income investing experts Brett Owens and Tom Jacobs show you how to safely double, triple and even quadruple these yields. Turn that 2% that stocks pay into 6%, 7% and even 8% (for $80,000 on that million bucks) without doing anything risky. In this book, Brett and Tom will take you beyond Wall Street's "blue chip BS" and create a portfolio that can actually generate meaningful income. It's a "no withdrawal portfolio" that relies entirely on dividend income and leaves your principal 100% intact. Bank 8% income without worrying about interest rates, the Fed, or the economy at large. Learn how to retire on dividends alone and keep your capital 100% intact. Read more

This program is read by the author.From the host of NPR’s Planet Money, the deeply investigated story of how one visionary, ruthless investor changed American finance forever.Before Bill Gross was known among investors as the Bond King, he was a gambler. In 1966, a fresh college grad, he went to Vegas armed with his net worth ($200) and a knack for counting cards. Ten thousand dollars and countless casino bans later, he was hooked, so he enrolled in business school.The Bond King is the story of how that whiz kid made American finance his casino. Over the course of decades, Bill Gross turned the sleepy bond market into a destabilized game of high risk, high reward; founded Pimco, one of today’s most powerful, secretive, and cutthroat investment firms; helped to reshape our financial system in the aftermath of the Great Recession - to his own advantage; and gained legions of admirers, and enemies, along the way. Like every American antihero, his ambition would also be his undoing.To understand the winners and losers of today’s money game, journalist Mary Childs argues, is to understand the bond market - and to understand the bond market is to understand the Bond King.

FULLY UPDATED for 2024Retirement. One’s Greatest Gamble Is Substituting Hope for a PlanHope that stocks won’t ever crash again. Hope that inflation won’t cause your purchasing power to be cut in half over time. Hope that higher taxes won’t cause you to drain your savings quicker than you’d like to maintain your lifestyle. Hope that Social Security won’t run out of money as your annual statement warns.What’s YOUR plan?There are only TWO doors to retirement. You will either outlive your money… or your money will outlive you. There is NO THIRD DOOR!Annuities. You either love them, hate them, or simply don’t know enough about them to decide if one of them may be right for your financial goals! This book teaches how, when used as intended, annuities can make a dramatic difference in your retirement success by avoiding all market losses and using the proven mathematics of actuarial science.** Learn how some accumulation annuities can trounce the returns of bonds without the risks inherent in bonds.** See how using a few annuities with attractive GUARANTEED LIFETIME INCOME can provide higher income with a substantially lower investment than required for the “4% rule.”** Discover a simple withdrawal strategy that eliminates or greatly reduces the Sequence of Returns Risk that could cause you to outlive your money.** Uncover little-known Special Situation annuities worth knowing aboutAnnuities are not perfect. No place to invest is. But smart folks are not only interested in annuities… but are buying them in droves.“Total U.S. annuity sales were $385.4 Billion in 2023, up 23% from 2022. This represents the highest annual annuity sales since 2008 and the third highest sales recorded in history,” according to the Secure Retirement Institute (SRI).“Annuity sales broke another record in the third quarter (2023) as investor interest in guaranteed income and safety of principal remained robust.” - Investment News MagazineMy clients purchase an annuity(s) for one or more of these three reasons:1) safe growth of their savings2) a generous guaranteed lifetime income (single or joint lives)3) tax-deferralAlthough all annuities offer valuable tax deferral by law, some few annuities stand out above the rest for either one of those financial goals (#1 or #2). And this book will explain how some of them can do that to safely improve one’s retirementThere are literally 1,000s of annuities issued by over 100 insurance companies in the U.S. But not all annuity policies are great. Most, in my opinion, are not even good—short-selling the buyer of better benefits available elsewhere.In my 6th book about retirement income planning —I Didn’t Know Annuities Could Do That!— I wanted to continue educating people on how some annuities, when used properly, can truly transform and improve their retirement in multiple ways.My financial planning practice and this book are centered on these firm beliefs:1) People should not pay a dime more in taxes than the law requires2) Nor should they take an ounce more risk than necessary to reach their financial goals.Annuities meet both mantras well and often play a role in my personal client’s retirement plan.What you don't know could spoil your retirement. Are you ready to learn new strategies to thrive in retirement? Read more

An insightful portrait of junk-bond powerhouse Drexel Burnham Lambert and infamous financier Michael Milken, “one of the most brilliant minds ever to have been dedicated to Wall Street's money games.” (The New York Times).Milken is purported to have offered to pay award-winning journalist Connie Bruck to stop work on this book, the fascinating story of how a singularly brilliant and intensely private investment banker essentially masterminded the creation of the junk bond market, generating billions of dollars in profits for his clients and himself before ultimately being brought down by charges of insider trading, stock manipulation, and fraud under the RICO Act. Bruck’s in-depth narration of the phenomenal career of the man nicknamed “the Junk Bond King” spans Milken’s early dealings in high-yield bonds as well as numerous corporate raids and hostile takeovers guided by tactics that were undoubtedly revolutionary, if sometimes unethical—and occasionally outright illegal. Standing alongside other blockbuster tales of business malfeasance such as Liar’s Poker and Too Big to Fail, The Predators’ Ball is a shocking, bemusing, and enlightening portrait of an era when it seemed anything was possible on Wall Street—as long as Michael Milken was in your Rolodex.
