retirement investing and investing in stocks for success



retirement investing starts with being thrifty

Many people during there retiring age start to worry about consistent income and making money as social security doesn't seem to be enough for many people. So you go to investment brokers and advisers that are supposed to try and help all why ignoring what has MADE MANY people rich and continues too because this is plain and simple smart investing. You get scared and you don't want to play the market anymore or you think that you could lose it all. Well all of this is true but if you follow some very simple rules the odds are you won't. advantages of stocks


Even if you are in old age you should CONTINUE to invest yourself without a broker. I believe the returns that you can make could even extend your life or give you excitement that you wouldn't otherwise get. I am not saying that you should be doing a bunch of option investing or other crazy stuff that could destroy you. However I also do not advocate getting an investment broker or any other help becasue it is too risky. What you need to do is develop strategy for investing in stocks that will be with you no matter what the market does. I have talked many times in other articles on this site about developing strategies and how important they are.

What can I do for smart investing in stocks and market strategy

I could tell you many thing but I think that the smartest thing that a retired person can do for retirement investing is to buy LARGE CAP STOCKS that pay a DIVIDEND and are at a low PRICE. I would use msnmoney and their POWER searches.

The power searches that I would use for retired people would be the cheapest of large growing companies and maybe contrarian investing. I like the cheapest of the large growing ones the best though because most large COMPANIES don't go broke.

I wouldn't just choose any old company in there but find one that you think will be the most resistant to economic problems. Then my strategy is diversify in the ten you think will do the best and BUY MORE if they start getting cheap but at the same time SELL if they start going up. I think doing this will insure safe diversified holdings that insure dividends and wealthy retirement and good retirement investing.

Best of luck!
