Now, if you have cash lying around, thats even better. Did you lose money in 2008 and 2009 in the stock market? Did you lose money in real estate? And do you still have money left in treasury securities, or CDs, and what are you going to get out of that - 2 or 3%? Well, isnt it better to put it to work in something that give you a guaranteed minimal return and the principle is guaranteed? Do you want to eventually get tax-free retirement income? Obviously, we all dont have $100,000 cash lying around, but we do have equity in our homes which we can reposition, or other real estate such as commercial estate property. but it definitely is better to have your money grow in a taxable environment as opposed to a non-taxable tax free retirement income. You may use the returns from the repositioning of your real estate for retirement income or for other reasons such as an emergency fund. Your money can grow at an average of 7% tax free and currently you can borrow at 4 to 5% so, financially, the numbers make a lot of sense. Here is another example, if you are 45 years old and deposit $100,000, at 65, you will have $600,000 of tax free income. Thats a great asset allocation model....more

Investors often ask me, " Should I buy gold ?" The answer is simple, in my opinion: Gold should be a part of every investor's portfolio. Whether or not you believe gold is going to appreciate short term or not is a matter for speculators, but smart investors who want a diversified portfolio will want to own gold for its protective qualities. Gold is a wonderful diversifier, and it offers protection against many adverse events in the marketplace, as we will discuss below.Why Should I Buy Gold?Gold adds another layer to a portfolio filled with stocks and bonds. Gold is a completely different asset class than stocks are. Even the ETF that trades like a stock behaves like godl because it is tied to the price of bullion. When compared to the stock market, gold has behaved in a roughly inverse fashion to the stock market since 1971 when the gold standard was abandoned. For traditional buy and hold investors, gold can provide returns when the stock market underperforms.Gold Offers Protection of ValueGold protects against inflation. Inflation occurs when the money supply is increased, causing each unit of currency to be worth less. Then this happens, prices for goods and services will...more
