Have you checked out Fortune or Money magazine lately?

Take a look at the June 2010 Money Magazine…specifically page 82…”Stock up for more Income”. Or, the June 14 2010 edition of Fortune Magazine, specifically page 82 “Our 2010 Retirement Guide: You Can Still Win”.

Let me summarize…Its all about investing in “Funds” and it is all about being satisfied with marginal investment gains…apparently less than 5% if you are LUCKY!

Fortune magazine even goes so far as to suggest “asset class diversification” …but sadly stops short at anything other than publicly traded Funds. (of course that is where the big $$$ are, especially when  it comes to fueling advertising for these financial rags.)

True diversification should also include “alternative assets” , such as Real Estate, and look toward specialized niche sponsors that can offer greater returns with minimal risk.

Just how can you find out more about how to take advantage of these opportunities? May I suggest you first become knowledgeable of your retirement options. Look to these websites for easy to understand content about self-directed retirement.
