You will learn the importance of basis- one of the most important issues of tax planning and one of the most overlooked. If you don't understand basis, just about every major asset you will ever buy will ultimately cost you more money that you ever realized. I will show that it has never worked, does not work today and probably never will into the future. This is taught to brokers and agents as a key to investment strategy but is simply great marketing of a generally bad and misapplied idea. But I also provide what you should focus on when attempting an investment portfolio.
Variable annuities are a blend of a mutual fund and a standard annuity.
In fact, it is possible to end up with MORE money with a taxable account and I'll show you exactly what to consider. Do a budget. If you do not understand this, you normally don't have a clue to investing, nevermind individual stock picking. So you probably shouldn't buy stocks. Neither should I and I'll prove it.
