Stock Markets do not like Tradewars - Is your Retire Fund in Jeopardy?

Is your Retire.Fund in jeopardy of a severe downturn in Stocks

You recently retired, or will retire in the next few years, but you are still heavily invested in the stock markets because that is where the growth has come from for the past 10 or so years.

  Did you take a beating in 2008? Do you even remember what happened that year? Maybe you didn't start saving/investing until late in your career, and you feel you need a bit more!

 Maybe it's time you considered "solidifying" the investments you still have.

Paper profits are great, until they are not! A sudden reversal in stock prices can wipe out 50% of your portfolio.  It can happen really fast these days as the Algos take over the selling, and markets drop like a rock! If that happens this year,(and this writer believes it will), then you may be left trying to decide to "stay in" to try and recoup your losses, or cash out with 20-50% less profit. If such an event occurs, it maybe a decade before you recoup those losses.

To this date the Nasdaq has returned, year to date, over 19%  "THAT" my friends is a great return on investment! The SP500 has returned almost as much YTD!

If your Index Funds are up over 15%, then congratulations, because, I believe, it won't happen again for years to come.  I sincerely do not believe that retirees or those nearing retirement, "will ever see" returns like this again!!!




If you are over 50 or need the money in your portfolio for retirement, if you don't have another 10-15 years to make up losses and cannot afford a downturn in stock prices (or bond prices for that matter see: Bonds) then maybe you should consider the wise advice of the foremost investor in modern history, Mr. Warren Buffett, who famously said:




Remember, "Cash" is also a Position and, at this juncture, it may be the best position!At this writing, we are mostly in cash, with a few exceptions.

Good luck, and be careful!  

Your Retire.Fund depends on it!

As Crypto Currencies rise and begin to dominate investors thinking, Crypto Domain names are gaining popularity!

Domainnames.money/cryptos.money

Whether you agree or disagree that Digital Assets like Crypto Currencies have value, you cannot escape the facts!


9 years ago Bitcoin was selling under $1 Dollar.


Today, (ups and downs aside) it sells around $6400!


That, my friends is an extreme jump in an investment!


As all Cryptos have increased
in price (for instance Ethereum Classic is up from a few cents to $14) Investors everywhere are wondering how they can get an edge in this new form of investing.

And, as more and more Banks and Businesses increase their Blockchain knowledge (and hire Crypto and Blockchain experts) to investigate how they can more securely transfer money and accounts worldwide, there is another avenue of Crypto investments that may have escaped the attention of mainstream investors.

  That is the area of Crypto Domain names (Web Addresses)


Namepros.com lists the top ten CryptoDomains sold Here to date!

As you can see, the domain Eth.Com lead the pack at a cool $2,000,000

As you can also see in that list, many other Crypto domains like CryptoWorld and CryptoBank sold in 6 figures!

Even the lesser Dot com domains sold in 5 figures.

Domainers have been scooping up these domains by the hundreds, because they know that the new Crypto business startups will be looking for online addresses and possibly new branding.

So, Are DomainNames.Money?

You Bet they are!!!
