If you invested $1 in the stock market in 1999, you would have... just under $1 in 2009. This is referred to as the Lost Decade of Stocks, when the S&P 500 generated an annualized total return of -0.9% over the period.

On this week's show, we discuss the importance of having the correct asset allocation as you get closer to retirement.

The Lost Decade of Stocks

The world of retirement has changed. People of your father’s generation worked for one or two companies their entire life and they received a gold watch and a pension when they were done!

Boy, how times have changed! Most people are lucky to receive a pension and, in fact, many have to fund their own retirement. Chances are you have a 401k, IRA, or a 403b, an alphabet soup that puts the risk of investing on you. 

Not only must you weather the stock market, but you also have to prepare for the coming Tax Storm! That’s where we come in. We’re here to help offer insightful strategies to help develop your Retirement Game Plan and protect your retirement from the forces that await.
