One of the
goals stated on Martin Weiss’s Web site is “to be the No. 1
authority on conservative money investment strategies,” and
his book The Ultimate Safe Money Guide certainly reflects
that intention.
Aiming
at those 50 and over, Weiss offers advice on everything from
real estate and insurance to annuities and tax-exempt
bonds.
What makes
The
Ultimate Safe Money Guide especially timely (this book was
written before the Enron disaster made headlines) is the
contempt in which he holds both Wall Street and corporate
America.
According to
Weiss, “hype and distortion” is the norm, both in the
brokerage/analyst community and in how American business
discloses its financial results.
He writes
that “stock ratings are bought by the companies,” and that
based on significant discrepancies between the earnings and cash
flow of 6,000 companies his firm has analyzed, 31 percent may be
guilty of manipulating their earnings reports.
And while
Weiss does not eschew stock market investing altogether (his
firm sells stock advice), he believes most investors, especially
those over 50, need to seriously rethink their risk tolerance
for stocks.
The
Ultimate Safe Money Guide goes against the grain of most
investment advice on the market today, but if retirement is on
your horizon, Weiss’s advice is worth considering. --Harry

In
today’s new era of uncertainty, millions of mature Americans
over fifty face a number of urgent financial questions: Where
can I find truly safe investments? How can I protect myself
against investment losses?
How can I prevent or offset a decline in income? Which annuities
and insurance policies are rip-offs and which ones are good
deals? What should I do to plan for my long-term health
care?
If
you are over fifty, and your answers to these vital questions
are off course, you may not have enough time to recoup. When
you’re planning for your future and your retirement, it’s

helping you to avoid stock market scams, recognize the pitfalls
of "free investment advice," and recover money lost by
careless, unethical, or dishonest brokers.

biased by any conflicts of interest–so you can make your own
investment decisions based entirely upon your needs.

life insurance

and cons of almost every kind of annuity

care insurance
