What Will $2 Million Get You In Retirement? [View article]
Very interesting article. First thing people have to consider is what things can cost. If you found yourself with 2 million most people would buy a nice home, a couple of cars and whatever else they dreamed of having. This could considerably cut into the investable assets. So in most cases to have 2 million to invest the average smart investor would need to begin with at least 3 or 3.5 to start. Now lets talk about what every investor should consider, living below your earnings. Reduce your debt which will allow you to sleep better at night and improve your health. Invest your money carefully in solid well run dividend paying companies such as KO & MRK to name a few. Maintain reserves, and learn to live within your means and add to your net worth every year. This is a formula to build wealth and piece of mind.

Ray, so your 20 that explains everything. No one can tell you anything you have it all figured out. Well good luck, with that attitude you have easily another 45 years of other people telling you what to do. I offer my opinions simply to assist other investors, cars have always been my hobby Ferrari's in particular which is why I use that picture. If you think $90K will buy one your car knowledge is no better then your investing insight.

Well I offer my opinions simply to assist others to make smart investments to help them one day obtain financial security. If you guys (Ray & Carl) think your fortunes can be made with a stock with nearly 45% of its shares shorted good for you. I suppose you are rolling your dividends into more stock......oh yeah there are no dividends. Say what kind of Ferrari's do you guys drive?

Yeah right, this company averages at least one "Pump" article a day. Sorry I will keep my investment in KO and enjoy my retirement and Ferrari. The soda stream investors can enjoy seeing this product on the discount shelves shortly. Just my opinion.

Very interesting article, as always investors should do their homework before they invest. I happen to own all the stocks mentioned and I did invest in XOM. I sold my position in XOM because it wasn't going anywhere. My positions in the other 3 companies has done extremely well. I would rate KO, T, and MO a strong Buy & Hold forever, XOM makes you feel like you have something solid.....with little return. Just my opinion.

I enjoy Apple products and use them exclusively. I have also purchased them for my children. To date I have purchased a desktop model, the latest IPad, 2 IPad2s, and 2 Original IPads. I have also purchased 3 IPhones. Even with a service contract we had nothing but trouble with an IPad 2 and 2 IPhones. We found their customer service terrible. The people we spoke with at their store in NYC and in customer service had an attitude and were not helpful. This is my personal experience, not a survey bought and paid for. Regarding this article, it is certainly possible that the author is simply expressing his opinion on a stock that has currently dropped several hundred points. However I find it unusual that these articles appear daily. An article pumping AAPL seems to be generated by the minute, yet no one seems to mind the loss of SJ or the tremendous decline in share price. Very strange in my opinion.

Well isn't this great news! I guess we should all run out and buy AAPL. Why it wasn't that long ago that everyday I read that AAPL was going to be the next $1,000 stock. People bought it all the way up to $706, today it closed at $463. I wonder what the folks that bought it at $600 & $700 think? I use AAPL products and like them a lot, but unfortunately I find their customer service to be terrible so I am not an investor. I am also not impressed when I read article after article pushing a stock. AAPL would be better served to put a little more money into customer service and a little less into stock promotion.
The board of directors at Coca-Cola (KO) will become younger over the next few years as a number of directors in their 80s and 70s are expected to step down. The company has drawn some criticism over having six directors with more than 20 years of tenure on the board. What to watch: A reconstituted board could push for more aggressive M&A plays in faster growing drink categories (Monster Beverage?). [View news story]
Let's hope the replacements are as wise as the people they are replacing. I must say I am very pleased with the results of my long relationship with KO. I'm sure any new board members will follow the same successful path KO follows.

Well lets say you started with 100 shares so many years ago like I did. Today my position is well over 6000 shares due mainly to splits. I know some people like Buffett don"t like splits mainly because they make shares available to the little people. Otherwise a single share of KO might be $100,000. I believe in this country of ours everyone should have an opportunity to build wealth for themselves and their family. Not just the people that can afford to drop $100 Grand for a single share of stock.

KO just rewarded investors with yet another 2/1 split last August. I would say it's a great time to buy KO when you have the money. Take all the time you need to acquire the shares you want and sit back and enjoy your investment. Build yourself a nice portfolio of quality stocks, monitor them and enjoy the rest of your life.
