Cashing Out Before A Market Crash? Protect Your Portfolio With Three Possible Options

from Diamond NestEgg · host Diamond NestEgg

"My father retired in 2000 and lost 50% of his NAV.  Then hardly recovered only to experience the 2008/9 crash. It was awful for him. " For me, this was one of the more difficult comments to read from the video that we posted last week on whether your nest egg could survive a 50% S&P drop in retirement. And judging from the replies, it seems that this comment also hit a nerve with a few of you in our community. So with that in mind, let's look at the last 70+ years of stock market history and see:1. How often do bear markets occur, and how long do they last? Plus, who might want to just stay invested in equity markets right now?2. What are the three fundamental ways to protect your investments if you’re closer to retirement or already in retirement?3. How attractive might your guaranteed lifetime income options be if you were to lock-in at current levels? Drop us a note - what do you want to hear about next?Support the show💎 Join our 200,000+ Diamond NestEgg viewers on YouTube for more daily doses from Jen and Markus! 💰 Supercharge your income 👉 JOIN our VIP Investment Club and be the first to know about top rates, higher-yielding investment opportunities and members-only conversations and content!👉 Email [email protected] to get connected with our trusted annuity, life insurance and long-term care specialists 📢 Learn all about bond investing while yields are attractive!
