Dow 14,000 Redux: What's Different? compares the differences between the one-year ascent of the Dow Jones Industrial Average prior to achieving the current milestone ("14K-2") this past Friday to the one that occurred on October 1, 2007 ("14K-1"). It discusses what you should do differently this time if you're a pre-retiree or retiree to protect yourself against the possibility of a dramatic decline in the value of your portfolio similar to the 17-month aftermath of 14K-1.
As stated in the article, Robert Klein, as a retirement income planner, looks for "...windows of opportunity for my clients to transfer, what amounts to slivers of their investment portfolio in many cases, from the unpredictable fluctuations of the stock market to conservative investments that are designed to provide...income that they can depend on throughout retirement."
When questioned about the article, Bob said, "I'm very excited about joining RetireMentors as a MarketWatch contributor. I'm especially pleased with, and somewhat overwhelmed by, the immediate success of my first article. It enhances my reputation as an expert in the growing and complex retirement income planning profession. Equally important, it enables me to share my passion for writing with a larger audience than my weekly blog."
