Stocks Have a Long History of Doing Nothing

April 25, 2023 By E.J. Smith - Your Survival Guy

With the S&P 500 down hard last year, not to mention Nasdaq, some investors wondered about mutual funds and a diversified approach. What happened? Here’s what I wrote to you back on December 14, 2021, in “TOP HEAVY: Focus on Big Indexing Could Cause Market Chaos”: Originally posted on December 14, 2021. In an excellent […]

Friends, A Curated Monster Master List for You

April 24, 2023 By E.J. Smith - Your Survival Guy

Friends, how are we different? I’ll tell you. When you open a brokerage account at Fidelity, the world is your oyster. The account is in your name. When you add our discretionary authority to your account, you’re invested in individual stocks, among other areas. It’s like owning a perpetually curated Monster Master List from Richard […]

Only You Can Make This Happen: “That Was Fun”

April 21, 2023 By E.J. Smith - Your Survival Guy

Happy Friday. Your Survival Guy was talking with a client yesterday. He was at the helm of his sailboat. They were making their way home for the summer. I could tell it was bittersweet. They were already missing the new friends they had made over the winter. Having recently completed the crossing back to Florida, […]

Your Survival Guy at Fidelity and Your RMD Compliance

April 21, 2023 By E.J. Smith - Your Survival Guy

Staying on top of your IRA RMD can be a hassle, especially with the IRS changing the start dates. The new one is age 73. As I wrote back on December 19, 2022, when I worked at Fidelity Investments in the mid-90s, I was at FIRSCO. What the heck is FIRSCO? Glad you asked. Because […]

I Meant to Tell You My Recent “Survival Guy” Story

April 19, 2023 By E.J. Smith - Your Survival Guy

You know from here, here, here, and here that bad stuff happens. More times than I care to admit, I’m involved. Dear reader, is there anything more enjoyable? I get it. But once the feeling of “thankful it wasn’t me” passes, it gets darn serious. “What,” you may ask yourself, “if that happens to me?” […]

“I’m Having Major Surgery Tomorrow,” He Said

April 18, 2023 By E.J. Smith - Your Survival Guy

Life comes at you fast. One minute you’re living your retirement life. The next, you need major surgery. “I’m having major surgery tomorrow,” a client said to me yesterday. “Take care of things for me,” he said. “I will,” I said. We’ve been working together for over 20 years. He’s been trusting Richard C. Young […]

Why You Miss Richard C. Young’s Monster Master List

April 17, 2023 By E.J. Smith - Your Survival Guy

Happy Monday. Is your advisor a bank? If so, is it lending out your money for a song and paying you peanuts? Fidelity is not a bank. Fidelity is not a publicly traded company. In comparison, Charles Schwab has a banking division and is publicly traded. How about Vanguard? When was the last time you […]
