This document discusses two key demographic trends and their potential implications:
1) Depopulation of industrialized nations due to low fertility rates and aging populations, which could strain social programs and economies.
2) Increased longevity and healthier aging, with lifespans potentially extending to 100+ years. This may require planning for longer retirements and changing retirement systems.
Financial professionals should consider these trends in advising clients about saving, investing, insurance needs, and retirement planning over longer time horizons.

The document discusses how the 2012 US elections could impact financial markets. It summarizes that while the political party in power has little historical impact on markets, policy decisions do matter. Specifically, the elections may determine how the US addresses upcoming fiscal challenges like the "fiscal cliff" of automatic spending cuts and tax increases scheduled for 2013, as well as longer-term issues of entitlement and tax reform. Resolving these challenges in a way that limits economic drag and uncertainty could be positive for markets, while failure to do so risks higher debt burdens and potential recession that negatively impact markets for decades.
The document discusses the causes, effects, and outcomes of the Great Recession that began in 2007. It explores the role of the housing market, subprime loans, credit default swaps, and monetary policy in causing the crisis. The recession significantly impacted the United States, Europe, and global economies. While government actions sought to address the crisis, more may need to be done to prevent future recessions.
The document discusses the recent turmoil in global financial markets and argues that governments have failed to address the root causes of the economic crisis. It makes three key points:
1) Stock market declines show that the recovery is fragile and a double-dip recession may be on the horizon.
2) Governments have kicked the can down the road rather than fixing underlying problems, and the global economic landscape now has additional constraints making responses more difficult.
3) The US economy in particular remains weak with high unemployment, stagnant GDP, and a large budget deficit, showing similarities to Japan's "lost decade" raising the risk of prolonged low growth in the US.
This document discusses how times of crisis often signal structural changes in the economy. It argues we may be experiencing such a structural break now, as the past year's events have highlighted unsustainable trends like high household debt and leverage in the financial system. A structural break presents both challenges and opportunities - it can be a difficult time for adjustment, but also a time when new sources of competitive advantage can emerge for strategists able to understand and exploit the change. The key is recognizing when old patterns no longer work and focusing on strengthening one's competitive advantages for the new economic environment.

This document discusses the state of the US economy under President Obama and the policies of the Obama administration. It argues that the economy has stagnated, with 95 million Americans not working, wages stagnant, and declining upward mobility. It attributes this to failed "socialistic" policies and excessive government intervention. The author argues the economy needs inspiration to return to growth and policies that worked previously to boost jobs, wages, home and family formation.
Rising home prices and declining housing supply signal an end to the economic downturn. If home price increases continue as expected, it will boost construction jobs and consumer spending. Growing home equity from price increases will add over $1 trillion to the economy in the next year. However, lawmakers must address the fiscal cliff issues around tax cuts and spending before the new year to avoid derailing the economic momentum.
This document summarizes the key findings from an analysis of past deleveraging cycles in the US economy in the mid-1970s and early 1990s. Some of the main points include:
- Past deleveraging cycles were actually good periods for stock market performance and saw leadership from consumer discretionary and technology stocks.
- Deleveraging is a lagging phenomenon that typically occurs late in an economic slowdown.
- Housing activity, as measured by building permits, tended to bottom out early in past deleveraging cycles and then rise steadily through the cycle.
- Inflation tended to decline during deleveraging periods, suggesting disinflation may lie ahead.

1. The document provides an overview of structured equity markets and discusses recent economic and market developments. It notes that stock markets declined for a fourth straight week due to bad economic data and cautious earnings guidance.
2. A sentiment indicator created by the author remains weak, though not at dramatically low levels compared to recent standards. The indicator suggests markets remain fearful but not overly so.
3. Implied volatility is showing tentative signs of easing but remains elevated, suggesting continued volatility ahead. Correlations between markets have also remained high.
4. Company earnings continue declining significantly compared to prior years. Valuations have become less expensive but depend on how long earnings drops persist.

The document discusses the downgrading of the US credit rating and its potential effects. It notes that the US economy grew slowly in the first half of 2011 and consumer spending was low. The downgrade may lead to higher interest rates in the US and slower investment, though lower commodity prices could benefit India by reducing inflation and the current account deficit. There is uncertainty around how much the US slowdown will impact India's growth story. Some experts believe the impact will be temporary, while others see opportunities for India from a weaker dollar and decreased commodity prices in the "new normal" global economic environment.
Fears of the U.S. economy falling off a “fiscal cliff” have been percolating among investors, conjuring up frightening images of a deep recession. But the chances of it actually happening in its entirety are slim, say Allianz experts.
The November Employment Report was disappointing. The stock market had set its sights high, anticipating stronger growth in nonfarm payrolls and a steady unemployment rate. Moreover, market participants seemed to be hoping for an upside surprise relative to the consensus forecast. The holiday shopping season apparently got off to a strong start, but that failed to translate into a corresponding jump in retail employment (at least, on a seasonally adjusted basis). Manufacturing jobs were soft. State and local government continued to shed jobs, reflecting budget strains. What’s in store for 2011? The November jobs data aren’t encouraging, but the recovery is likely to remain on track.
Americans feel isolated from the leaders that they sent to Washington to represent them. Therefore, it is imperative, more than ever, that our leaders in Washington focus on addressing and confronting the problems that afflict America today- with both foresight and determination. I am a firm believer that what the American people deserve is a clear and concise explanation from our leaders as to how they do plan solve the most pertinent issues facing the country.
Agcapita is Canada's only RRSP and TFSA eligible farmland fund and is part of a family of funds with almost $100 million in assets under management. Agcapita believes farmland is a safe investment, that supply is shrinking and that unprecedented demand for "food, feed and fuel" will continue to move crop prices higher over the long-term. Agcapita created the Farmland Investment Partnership to allow investors to add professionally managed farmland to their portfolios. Agcapita publishes a monthly agriculture briefing.
General Stanley McChrystal was fired by President Obama after unflattering comments he made about administration officials were published in Rolling Stone magazine. The article was able to be published because the freelance journalist who wrote it, Michael Hastings, was not constrained by concerns about burning bridges, unlike beat reporters who rely on ongoing access. This highlights how outsiders can sometimes uncover important stories that insiders miss due to fears of jeopardizing relationships and access.
This document summarizes a research note from the Platt Retail Institute about testing the impact of a digital communications network (DCN) installed in bank branches. The research involved installing cameras and collecting data from 10 bank branches over 90 days. Key findings include:
1) The DCN was effective at raising customer awareness of messages.
2) Customers reported higher satisfaction levels and more positive perceptions of their bank experience with the DCN.
3) Branch productivity increased with the DCN by allowing more efficient transaction processing and potential cost reductions.
4) The DCN boosted customer awareness of products/services and increased related revenue and transaction activity.
This document provides an overview and analysis of economic events in 2008. It discusses the large declines in stock markets and other asset classes that year due to the unwinding of the debt bubble. It criticizes the new presidential administration's plans to stimulate the economy through large government spending programs, arguing this approach did not work during the Great Depression and will likely not work now. The document proposes eliminating all corporate and business income taxes as a better way to stimulate the economy with little cost to taxpayers. It claims this would lower business costs, generate cash flows, attract foreign capital, and make the U.S. the most competitive economy. However, it acknowledges this proposal will likely not be adopted.

answers to some of the questions most frequently asked by clients, following the publication of the
four previous editions of Global crisis monitor. In answering each question, we outline our current
forecast, explain our thinking, and highlight any key risks or alternative scenarios.
The commercial real estate market is lagging behind the broader economic recovery. Job losses have been significantly sharper in this recession compared to previous ones, and it will likely take several years to regain the jobs lost. As a result, real estate fundamentals will remain weak for an extended period. Transaction data shows rising capitalization rates and spreads, reflecting the return of risk to commercial real estate pricing. Cap rates could remain high for 12-24 months or rise further if space market fundamentals remain weak. This would result in value declines of 40% or more from the combination of higher cap rates and deteriorating fundamentals. The recovery path for cap rates and values is uncertain but will ultimately depend on the pace of job growth and economic
This document provides an analysis of inflation targeting in Canada by comparing the country's economic performance before and after adopting inflation targeting in 1991.
The key points are:
1) Inflation was high and volatile in Canada in the 1970s-1980s, which led to the adoption of inflation targeting in 1991. Since then, inflation has been low and stable.
2) However, Canada's overall economic performance has been lackluster, with issues like anemic growth, high household debt, fiscal deficits, and current account deficits.
3) The document aims to re-evaluate inflation targeting based on how it has impacted other parts of the economy, not just inflation, as the central bank's
This document provides commentary on investments for the month of March 2020. It discusses the significant market decline in the first quarter of 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The commentary describes changes made to the portfolio including increasing allocations to healthcare, communication services, utilities, technology, and energy, while decreasing allocations to industrials and financials. It emphasizes maintaining a focus on capital protection, valuation, and risk/reward over the long term through adhering to the investment process.
The document is a 2009 fall edition of RICS Americas magazine. It features several articles on issues related to commercial real estate markets in North America and globally during the economic crisis and recovery. The main article discusses how while other parts of the economy appear to be recovering, the commercial real estate market will likely lag behind and face a long road to full recovery. The magazine also includes articles on sustainable finance, integrating real estate and art, principles of sustainable property evaluation, and real estate markets in Canada, Mexico, Italy, and the Caribbean.
9 principal unlocking the future of capital markets123jumpad
The document discusses four trends that will influence future capital markets:
1) Aging populations seeking income will increase demand for fixed income and real estate assets.
2) Urbanization and re-urbanization trends will see people moving to cities in developing nations for jobs and a middle class lifestyle, while millennials in developed nations prefer urban living over suburbs.
3) Structural oversupply of manufactured goods and commodities due to increased productivity and smarter consumption could lead to lower inflation.
4) Advances in technology and infrastructure like driverless cars may make current infrastructure obsolete and impact industries like autos and housing.
From Crisis to Recovery The Causes, Course and Consequences of the Great Rece...Dr Lendy Spires
OECD Insights: From Crisis to Recovery 3 Foreword The current global economic crisis was triggered by a financial crisis caused by ever-increasing thirst for short-term profit. In addition, against a background of government support for the expansion of financial markets, many people turned a blind eye to basic issues of business ethics and regulation. We now need to rewrite the rules of finance and global business. To restore the trust that is fundamental to functioning markets, we need better regulation, better supervision, better corporate governance and better co-ordination. We also need fairer social policies and an end to the bottlenecks that block competition and innovation and hamper sustainable growth. We must also find the most productive ways for governments to exit from their massive emergency interventions once the world economy is firmly back on a growth path. Dealing with fiscal deficits and unemployment while encouraging new sources of growth will absorb policy makers’ attention in the near term, but lifting our collective sights to focus on wider issues, such as the environment and development, is a challenge we must also meet. How can we move from recession to recovery? The OECD’s strategic response involves strengthening corporate governance and doing more to combat the dark sides of globalisation, such as corruption and tax evasion. As well as correcting the mistakes of the past, we have to prepare the future. We are elaborating a “Green Growth Strategy” to guide national and international policies so that all countries can realise the potential of this new approach to growth. Our analysis shows a need for governments to take a stronger lead in fostering greener production, procurement and consumption patterns by devising clearer frameworks and ensuring that markets work properly. They should drop some costly habits too, notably subsidising fossil fuels, which would help fight climate change and save money as well.
The document summarizes an economic commentary discussing recent weak US employment reports and the disconnect between stock market performance and underlying economic conditions. It notes that while unemployment remains high and growth weak, corporate earnings have remained strong, supporting stock prices. It also introduces a special report on China's economic rise and changing demographics that may challenge continued growth.
This document provides a 3-paragraph summary of the U.S. economic outlook by Mike Lathigee, Chairman and CEO of Alliance Investment Solutions:
1) Government stimulus money is fading and budget cuts at the federal and state/local levels could further hamper economic growth. Consumer spending rose less than expected and state/local budget cuts reduced spending. Additionally, rising oil prices and inflation pose risks to the recovery.
2) Economic growth needs to be stronger to significantly reduce the 9% unemployment rate, yet budget cuts could constrain growth. A showdown in Congress over the budget threatens a government shutdown, adding uncertainty.
3) Inflation rose 1.6% overall and 0.2%
This document discusses the current economic challenges and provides suggestions for protecting assets during difficult financial times. It outlines six major obstacles slowing economic recovery, including accumulated debt, wealth destruction, declining incomes, the slow pace of government rescues, sinking confidence, and how to finance government programs. Specific concerns mentioned include declining asset prices, taxes, inflation, and unknown factors. The document recommends building cash reserves, selling bonds, considering inverse ETFs and gold funds, avoiding high-risk investments, and being wary of fraud. It offers to provide ongoing information and answers questions to help investors navigate the challenging environment.
The document provides an economic outlook report from May 2011. It discusses several topics:
1) Strong corporate earnings are driving the stock market higher, though interest rates will likely rise as quantitative easing ends.
2) High food and gas prices pose a risk to consumer spending, which could slow economic growth.
3) The large and growing US national debt poses challenges, as interest payments consume a significant portion of the budget and credit rating downgrades could increase interest rates.
This document discusses several types of anxiety disorders: generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, social anxiety disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, and specific phobias. It provides details on the characteristics and symptoms of each disorder. The document also covers common treatments for anxiety disorders, which include medication like antidepressants and psychotherapy approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy.
The document defines and describes several basic visual art elements: line, shape, form, value, color, and texture. It notes that line has length and sometimes width, and can be straight, curved, or other types. Shape is a two-dimensional area created by connecting lines, and can be positive, negative, organic, or geometric. Form is a three-dimensional projection of a shape that has volume, dimension, and appears to have mass. Value refers to the range of lights and darks in a work, from black to white. Color is determined by hue, saturation, and brightness, and helps identify objects and set moods. Texture describes the surface quality as rough or smooth, whether real or an illusion.

Jorge Huerta received an exceptional performance review for his 2015 summer internship. His manager, Cecil Zachary, rated him a 5 out of 5 on all core competencies and primary responsibilities. Zachary praised Huerta for being self-accountable, an outstanding communicator, consistent, an excellent teammate, always on time and dependable, having a positive attitude, taking initiative, producing top-notch work, being flexible and creative. Zachary said Huerta is constantly positive, diligent with safety protocols, and manages his time well while handling multiple tasks. Overall, Zachary described Huerta as exceeding all expectations for his internship.
This document summarizes key points from the book "Abundance" by Peter Diamandis and Steven Kotler. The authors argue that recent technological advances have put humanity on the cusp of unprecedented peace, prosperity and well-being. While conditions like poverty, disease, and violence have significantly improved over the past 50 years, the authors believe the next 10-20 years will see even greater improvements due to factors like increasing access to information, communication technologies, and the ability of small groups to take on large challenges. The document provides examples of how daily life has improved over recent decades and centuries, and argues against dismissing the authors' optimistic view of the future.
On the streets, on social networks and at the ballot box, people are voicing their discontent. They are worried about the environment. They are demanding social equality. They are advocating for better living and working conditions. And they are reacting to perceived institutional injustices. In short, they are angry at their leaders and they are making sure their voices are heard. This is not about a handful of radicals shouting from the wilderness. What we are witnessing is a massive shift in the ‘middle’. Indeed, the voices on the fringes of these issues largely remain shrill and extreme. What is changing is the quiet chorus of voices that make up the middle ground (i.e., the average voter).
For many governments, this upswelling of discontent could not be happening at a worse time. Public budgets are highly constrained (either by debt or by borrowing limits). Technologies are rapidly changing. New risks are emerging. And planning is becoming infinitely more complex. The pace of response from governments is proving to be inadequate.
In July 2009 we released findings from an extensive research initiative focusing on how Americans were dealing with the unfolding recession. In that report, we outlined many issues and challenges faced by people in these turbulent times. But our data also revealed opportunity amidst the gloom, and this became the basis for suggesting a number of paths of possibility for brands.
The 2009 release reflected analysis of data collected in late March/early April of that year from a nationally representative sample of 1,000 American adults. Six months later, in October 2009, we fielded a tracking wave in order to understand what movement, if any, had occurred in terms of recession-related attitudes and behaviors. While some measures revealed a slightly less frightened consumer profile, the data overall did not paint an encouraging picture for brands.
Now, two years since our first report, we’ve completed another update, tracking many of the same measures as well as some new ones, this time among a sample of over 1200 American adults -- half interviewed in January 2011 and half in May 2011.
While there are some bright spots here and there in the data, we mostly see a picture of still-broad weakness in people’s attitudes and behaviors. This suggests the country has a long way to go before confidence in the national economy and in one’s personal financial situation is strong enough to resume robust consumer spending. The recession may be technically over, but for most Americans it is simply not so.
The future of consumer finance in the next five yearsTeamspirit
In this document we’re concentrating on the likely impact of some sizeable socio-demographic trends, technological advances and legislative changes in the near future.
By near future we mean in the next five years, so we’re hardly crystal ball gazing, and while the outcome of these developments is obviously uncertain, we believe the RDR, social media, financial services, fs, consumer finance, viewpoint, pensions ace are already some interesting insights into what the future may have in store for tomorrow’s financial consumers.
The document discusses how the real estate market is evolving towards a "new normal" as it recovers from the recession. It notes that while unemployment and property values may stabilize, the peak levels seen in 2005 likely will not return. Experts believe the new normal will be marked by greater urbanization, sustainability, and transportation choices in line with smart growth policies. The recession may ultimately be seen as a tipping point that accelerated trends toward smart growth by tightening credit, raising energy costs, and changing views of homes as sources of quick wealth.
This document summarizes the economic challenges facing Florida, Nevada, and Arizona in the aftermath of the recession. It notes that while the recession has technically ended, the housing market remains overbuilt and reluctant to recover in these states. Population growth has slowed or contracted in these formerly fast-growing states due to job losses. High unemployment, especially in construction and development jobs, is limiting mobility and new migration. The oversupply of vacant homes also makes it difficult for existing homeowners to sell and relocate for retirement. A slower growing and aging population may not match the housing needs and preferences of previous generations.
This document provides an overview of Market Maker Capital's private placement memorandum. It discusses trends in the market environment that have created opportunities for alternative investment strategies. Specifically, it notes that traditional securities provide little return in a low interest rate environment while exposing investors to significant risk. The document highlights demographic trends like an aging population that will reduce demand and create a systemic event. It argues the current market is in a credit bubble and overvalued. The fund aims to protect capital during downturns and acquire assets at lower prices.

The 1930's will forever be known as the Great Depression. This period we are in now will be known as the Great Recession. The World economy and Industries are in a period of RESET. The Building and Property market is no exception - perhaps it is even the forerunner for all industries. World wide the period 2000 - 2007 was characterised by the STORY that you cannot go wrong in investing in PROPERTY. Then the greed of investment bankers resulted in irrational exuberance and the subprime market presaged the bursting of the property bubble. Now the story has changed, and property ownership is being discredited. Rental is advocated as preferential to ownewrship. The Banks have lost their appetite for long-term lending and mortgage advances have dropped precipotously. The Building Industry has suffered the same fate. An Industry that doesn't have a story to tell will have one imposed on it - and it will be very difficult to reverse. There will be unintended consequences and leaders in the industry must promote building as an engine for growth and wealth creation and property as a preferred investment.
Marketing to the Chinese 70s, 80s and 90s generationsMSL
The document analyzes differences in values, psychology, and habits between Chinese consumers born in the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s based on focus groups conducted by MSL China. Each generation grew up in vastly different stages of China's development and views the world differently, with the 1970s prioritizing family, the 1980s valuing friends, and the 1990s seeing themselves as individuals. The document provides implications for communicators, recommending targeting family activities to the 1970s, following trends accessibly for the 1980s, and enabling high interaction for the 1990s.
The document discusses how the US economic growth of the last decade was fueled by consumer spending and easy credit access, but these conditions have now changed in ways that make a return to "normal" unlikely. It argues that earnings growth, asset prices, and GDP in the future cannot rely on the same factors as the past 20 years, namely generous consumer credit, home equity withdrawals, and widespread lending. Going forward, consumer deleveraging, tighter credit conditions, and reduced demand will hamper earnings and the economy unless new drivers of growth can be found to replace the credit-fueled spending that drove past prosperity.
The document discusses how the US economic growth of the last decade was fueled by consumer spending and easy credit access, but these conditions have now changed in ways that make a return to "normal" unlikely. It argues that earnings and GDP growth depended on factors like monetary policy, asset inflation, and consumer leverage that are no longer applicable. It questions where future earnings, buying power, and credit will come from to support previous levels of economic activity and asset prices.
This document discusses the Millennial generation and their perspective as new asset owners. It notes that Millennials have experienced significant global events and technological changes that have shaped their worldview. As Millennials inherit $30 trillion in wealth from Baby Boomers over the next few decades, their priorities around social responsibility and impact investing will influence how this capital is invested. Financial advisors who understand and can accommodate the Millennial perspective, such as by discussing impact investing options, will be better positioned to attract and retain clients as wealth is transferred to the next generation.

Article: The Criminality of Wall Street
Tabb, William K. Monthly Review66.4 (Sep 2014): 13-22.
The current stage of capitalism is characterized by the increased power of finance capital. How to understand the economics of this shift and its political implications is now central for both the left and the larger society. There can be little doubt that a signature development of our time is the growth of finance and monopoly power.1
In 1980 the nominal value of global financial assets almost equaled global GDP. In 2005 they were more than three times global GDP.2 The nominal value of foreign exchange trading increased from eleven times the value of global trade in 1980 to seventy-three times in 2009.3 Of course it is not certain what this increase means, since such nominal values can fluctuate widely, as we saw in the Great Financial Crisis. They cannot be compared directly and without all sorts of qualifications to the value added in the real economy. But they do give an impressionistic sense of the enormous magnitude by which finance grew and came to dominate the economy. Between 1980 and 2007, derivative contracts of all kinds expanded from $1 trillion globally to $600 trillion.4 Hedge funds and private equity groups, special investment vehicles, and mega-bank holding companies changed the face of Western capitalism. They also brought on the collapse from which we still suffer. Ordinary people may not be acquainted with the numbers (and even those best informed are not sure of their significance), but people generally understand in different and often deep ways what has been happening: namely, an ongoing process of financialization that has come to dwarf production.
What is particularly important is that despite the huge bubble created by this metastasizing growth of finance, the economy did not expand as rapidly as it had in the postwar years, before the goods producing industries lost ground in terms of employment to other sectors of the economy, and when government spending was used actively to promote growth. While the nature of much of the growth that occurred then is certainly open to criticism from all sorts of standpoints, at the time there was widespread understanding in policy circles that government spending was.

Trends In Human Resources Management (7) 7 8 2010atkinr1
The document discusses several trends and challenges facing human resources management in 2010, including an unprecedented upheaval in the financial sector leading to high unemployment. Key trends include the rise of Millennials in the workforce who expect frequent job changes and value work-life balance, globalization and the emergence of China and India as economic competitors, and an aging population straining labor supply. Challenges involve preparing for coming labor shortages, rising health insurance costs, and ensuring adequate retirement benefits and income for older workers choosing to remain employed past normal retirement age.
Trends In Human Resources Management (7) 7 8 2010atkinr1
The document discusses several key challenges facing human resource management in 2010, including an aging workforce, talent shortages, rising healthcare costs, and changing employee expectations. It notes that the recession has exacerbated issues like high unemployment, skills mismatches, and increased pressure on compensation and benefits. Effective HR will need to understand workforce changes, ensure succession planning, and focus on recruitment, performance management, and rebuilding employee confidence as the economy recovers.

The document discusses several key challenges facing human resource management in 2010, including an aging workforce, talent shortages, rising healthcare costs, and changing employee expectations. It notes that the recession has significantly impacted the labor market and that identifying and recruiting top talent will be a fundamental challenge for employers going forward. The role of HR is to understand workforce changes, ensure effective succession planning, oversee recruiting efforts, and adapt performance management to the evolving needs of companies and employees.
The document discusses the issue of rising student loan debt in the United States. It notes that student loan debt has exceeded $1 trillion and average loan balances have doubled in the past decade. However, obtaining a college degree still results in higher lifetime earnings even though recent graduates' salaries have not increased as much as in the past. The rising costs of higher education and lack of financial planning have contributed to the growth in student loan debt. Large student loan payments are impacting graduates' ability to purchase homes, save for retirement, and participate fully in the economy. The outlook is that growing student loan debt could become a broader economic problem if not addressed.
This document discusses tax deferral in qualified retirement plans and how future taxes on withdrawals can pose risks. It tells the story of Damocles, who realized the dangers of a king's lavish lifestyle when he saw a sword hanging above the throne. Similarly, retirement plan participants enjoyed tax breaks on contributions but face uncertain future tax burdens. Higher taxes or rates in retirement could mean participants pay more than the value of earlier deductions. The document examines options like Roth accounts that avoid this "sword of Damocles."

This document summarizes an article about how rapidly advancing technologies like robots and automation could displace many human workers and jobs. It notes that while technology has historically created new jobs, the current pace of technological change may outstrip the rate of new job creation, potentially leading to long-term high unemployment. The document then suggests that retirement vehicles like 401(k) plans, which rely on steady employment and income, may become outdated as more workers face intermittent periods of unemployment or underemployment due to automation and job disruption.
This document advertises a college financial aid workshop hosted by The Bulfinch Group and presented by Stan Ezekiel from College Planning Group, Inc. The workshop will be held on March 24th from 2-4 PM at Mathnasium in Cohasset, MA. It will provide information on how higher-income families can earn financial aid, how a private college may cost less than a state college, and what colleges don't want students to know about the financial aid process. Attendees will learn how to negotiate for more financial aid. RSVPs can be made by contacting Patricia Murphy.
This document is a newsletter from Matthew Cunningham providing information on Social Security. It summarizes that there is now consensus among economists that Social Security in its current form is unsustainable given changing demographics. It notes that the AARP, a long-time defender of the status quo, now acknowledges changes such as benefit cuts are inevitable. The implications are that individuals will need to significantly increase their personal savings to make up for reduced future Social Security benefits. It provides strategies for boosting savings such as assessing expenses and savings allocations.
This document discusses decreasing debt and increasing liquidity as important aspects of financial management. It provides guidance on establishing priorities and plans for reducing debt, such as focusing on the highest interest debts first and renegotiating interest rates. It also discusses the importance of maintaining adequate liquidity through liquid assets and cash reserves. The document recommends working with a financial professional to properly coordinate debt reduction and liquidity goals.
This document discusses estate planning and its importance. It notes that estate planning creates a legal roadmap for distributing one's assets and obligations after death, according to their wishes and in a way that maximizes distributions to beneficiaries. The document outlines some key elements of estate planning, including probate, which is the legal process for settling an estate, and trusts, which allow property to pass outside of probate and avoid delays. It emphasizes that estate planning is important to properly distribute one's estate and provide certainty and financial security for heirs.
The document summarizes key points from the book "The Invisible Gorilla" about common illusions that distort human perception and decision making. It discusses five main illusions: 1) The illusion of attention, where people miss significant events due to focus on other details, 2) The illusion of memory, where memories are often inaccurate, 3) The illusion of knowledge, where people overestimate what they know, 4) The illusion of cause, where correlations are mistaken for causation, and 5) The illusion of confidence, where overconfidence is mistaken for competence. These illusions mean people often fail to see what's important and ignore warning signs of trouble.
This document discusses strategies for accelerated debt payoff. It analyzes different payment plans for paying off a $8,000 credit card balance with 16% interest over time. Plan A shows minimum monthly payments would take over 15 years to pay off. Plan B maintains the first month's minimum payment each month, paying it off in under 4 years. Plan C adds $260 per month to the minimum, paying it off in 18 months. Plan D saves the extra $260 per month and uses the savings to pay it off, taking 19 months. While paying extra each month is faster, saving the extra each month maintains the consumer's financial control until the debt is fully eliminated. Overall, the document advocates evaluating individual debt situations but emphasizes
This document provides a summary of current financial buzzwords, trends, and unintended consequences. It discusses phased retirement as more workers extend their careers due to economic struggles. It also covers the trend of strategic mortgage defaults for homeowners who owe more than their homes are worth. Additionally, it notes the unintended consequence that many people are converting traditional IRAs to Roth IRAs in 2010 to avoid potential future tax increases, generating billions in unexpected tax revenue for the government.
This document summarizes a study on how retirement choices are framed and how framing influences decisions. It discusses two fictional retirement scenarios ("Mr. Red" and "Mr. Gray") that were presented to respondents in different frames. Though the options were the same, more chose Mr. Red's option when framed as spending and Mr. Gray's option when framed as investing. The document argues that framing significantly impacts financial decisions and that a consumption frame may be more beneficial. It also discusses how lifetime annuities are positively framed by economists but negatively by some due to concerns about unused principal.
This document discusses the benefits of writing down financial information and goals. It recommends writing down your current financial situation with an accurate cash flow statement. This provides clarity and organization. It also recommends writing down specific financial objectives, which helps resist marketing pressures and focus on what's important. Getting financial details and goals in writing increases the chances of achieving them by focusing thought, creating accountability, and leaving a reference point for the past and future. While not a magic solution, writing things down is a simple step anyone can take to improve their financial success.
The document discusses three examples of flawed financial thinking: Y2K predictions, a "Nirvana mindset", and the influence of "WACronyms". Regarding Y2K, the document summarizes that predictions of technological catastrophe were wrong, and financial predictions like the Dow hitting 40,000 by 2010 were also wildly inaccurate. The section on "Nirvana mindset" explains how pursuing unrealistic ideals can lead to poor decisions if real-world constraints are ignored. Finally, the document cautions that catchy acronyms may give investors a false sense of understanding financial products that are actually complex and risky.
1. The document discusses the impacts of tightened lending standards and increased savings rates in the US following the financial crisis. While prudent on an individual level, some argue this will slow economic recovery by reducing credit availability and consumer spending.
2. Lenders have tightened standards due to high default rates, while individuals have increased savings and paid down debt in response to job losses and economic uncertainty. However, experts want more lending and spending to stimulate growth.
3. The debate centers around whether continued conservative lending and spending habits will prolong the recession or lead to sustainable recovery. Both sides make reasonable arguments about the role of credit in fueling economic activity in the short and long term.
