A warning for baby boomers: a study reported by the American College of Financial Services analyzed the timing of investment shocks in the risks zone. Which they identified as the final 10 years of the working life, the accumulation phase as they would call it. And the first 10 years of retirement, the de-accumulation phase. During these years, the nest egg balances tend to be at their highest and retirement dollars are at their most vulnerable point to loss. Particularly with respect to an economic shock like the market collapse or a downturn in the market. A retirement income study concluded that when the shock occurred at a 20 year of the 40 year savings period, the terminal wealth at that time of the retirement decreased by 16 percent. However, when the shock occurred at the point of retirement year of 40 year saving phase, your retirement terminal wealth decreased by more than 24 percent. This is an unprecedented warning issued by baby boomers or to baby boomers and pensions.

Today, what we're talking about, is the same thing that we've talked about in the past. The majority of baby boomers and the majority of those who make money today, have their money sitting in a stock market. The reason for it is real simple, most of us don't have the ability to put our money in other sectors of the market that allows them the ability to make money.
