Special: Two for the Price of Three!

September 27, 2013 By E.J. Smith - Your Survival Guy

Janet Yellen is the leading candidate to replace Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke. Some are saying she will be tough on inflation but I’m not buying it. In a 1995 debate on the Fed’s role in controlling unemployment and inflation she said, “When the goals conflict and it comes to calling for tough trade-offs, to me, a wise and humane policy is occasionally to let inflation rise even when inflation is running above target.” The Fed’s current target for inflation is 2%. In today’s low interest rate environment that’s devastating for retirees. Compound anything, such as dinner at your favorite restaurant, at a “low” 2% rate over 20 years and watch prices increases by about 50%. Imagine the bill when inflation compounds at “above target” rates.

E.J. graduated from Babson College in Wellesley, Massachusetts, with a B.S. in finance and investments. In 1995, E.J. began his investment career at Fidelity Investments in Boston before joining Richard C. Young & Co., Ltd. in 1998. E.J. has trained at Sig Sauer Academy in Epping, NH, where he completed course-work in Practical and Defensive Handgun, Conceal Carry Pistol, Shotguns, Precision Scope Rifle and Kidnapping Prevention. E.J. plays a Yamaha Recording Custom drum set with Zilldjian cymbals. His first drum set was a 5-piece Slingerland with Zilldjians. He grew-up worshiping Neil Peart of the band Rush, and loves the song Tom Sawyer—the name of his family’s boat, a Grady-White Canyon 306. He grew up in Mattapoisett, MA, an idyllic small town on the water near Cape Cod. He spends time in Newport, RI and Bartlett, NH—both as far away from Wall Street as one could mentally get. The Newport office is on a quiet, tree lined street not far from the harbor and the log cabin in Bartlett, NH, the “Live Free or Die” state, sits on the edge of the White Mountain National Forest. He enjoys spending time in Key West and Paris. Please get in touch with E.J. at ejsmith@youngresearch.com. Sign up here to receive all the best content from Richardcyoung.com each week.
