Market Update September 7 2014
Overall S&P model still suggests BUY for all intervals. But as with last week (see last week’s posting), the upside/downside ratio is still not ripe for new money to enter the market in general.
Ensuring Adequate Retirement Income – 5 steps
A short, to-the-point article from the Wall Street Journal about the 5 things to do to assure adequate income at retirement. Good read.
How to Ensure Adequate Retirement Income
By JONATHAN CLEMENTS Aug. 30, 2014 8:30 p.m. ET Retirement is hard work these days. How do you generate enough income in a world where the S&P 500 yields roughly 2% and 10-year Treasury notes offer 2½%? Here’s my five-step plan:1. Delay Social Security.
Suppose you retire at age 65, at which point you’re eligible for $20,000 a year in Social Security retirement benefits. If you put off benefits until age 70, you would miss out on five years of benefits worth $100,000. In the meantime, you’d likely have to cover your living expenses entirely out of savings.
Market Update September 1, 2014
Short, Medium and Long term indicators for the S&P 500 are all favorable. The index itself is in the middle of an up channel.
Currently the S&P is at 2003. The channel ranges from 1925 to 2050. So there are 47 points above and 78 points below the current index value in the channel. I would prefer a 2:1 ratio of upside potential to downside potential. At a ratio of 47:78 we do not have that 2:1 target. So I would wait for a slight pullback to put any additional monies into equity index funds or ETFs.
