The Government gave $700 billion of our money to the
banks Complimentary Workshop Exposes "The 10 Deadly Financial Mistakes "Will
the coming tax increases shorten your retirement Workshop is followed by a
gourmet meal at The Fox, The Chicken and The Hare For centuries, the farmer has
been trying to protect his chickens from the fox because he knows, if the fox
can destroy the chicken coop, the farmer's source for food could be cut off
until he can raise more chickens to produce eggs and meat. Even though the
farmer builds elaborate ways to keep the fox out, the fox may eventually get
into the chicken house and feast on the farmer's hard work. The hare on the other hand,
doesn't have a farmer to rely on. He
must always figure out a way to be one step ahead of the fox, or his life
could be in jeopardy. His long ears
allow him to listen for approaching danger and his sharp vision will signal
the fox is near. His speed and agility
help him avoid the fox, and continue to enjoy life. The Government and the Investor In our illustration above,
the Government is the fox and you are either the hen that dependends on the
farmer, or the hare that is always one step ahead of the fox. If you're the hen, perhaps you feel the
farmer has occasionally let the fox into your hen house, placing you at great
risk. Would you like to be the hare? What Went Up, May Come Down The economy is still
fragile. It seems when there's bad
news, the market can have three digit drops in one or more days. When the news is good, the market struggles
its way back with two digit increases. "Earnings are great!" the talking heads tell us. There are two possible reasons for this. 1.
The
economy is racing back to its output enjoyed from October 2002 until October
2007 2.
Companies
are trying to increase sales and profits as much as possible this year
knowing next year the Bush tax cuts will go away, ushering in a new era of
confiscatory taxes that will place a huge burden on companies in 2011. If scenario 2 above happens, and companies are increasing earnings this year in anticipation of cutting earnings next year to avoid the new taxes until they develop strategies to avoid those new taxes, what could that do to the values of their stock, or to the stock market for that matter? Are you prepared for the outcome?
How to Avoid Estate Taxes Is there a way to avoid
estate taxes? Sure, if you die this year, your estate pays no taxes. What if you live past
December 31, 2010? Estate taxes return with a vengeance. See how you can
still pass 100% of your estate to your heirs. If you think an irrevocable
living trust is the answer all by itself, think again. Several years ago a woman in Louisiana owned a piece of land that was forested. A large paper company used to pay her $300,000 per year to do a managed harvest on the trees. Eventually she died and the property was transferred to her family. Her family was contacted by the IRS and found out the estate tax on the property was about $6 million. The property had a value of about $10.9 million. Because the property was vacant land, they couldn't get enough of a loan to cover the current tax liability so the family put the land up for sale. They ended up selling to the paper company for enough to cover the estate taxes and expenses for selling the land. In essence, their $10.9 million windfall ended up being worthless to them. Join us to see a strategy on how to protect your estate and heirs from the coming conficatory estate taxes.
