Phil Town Rule #1 Investing

Town disagrees with VP Biden

admin — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 16:21:59 +0000

Did you read the administrations latest help for the little guy? VP Joe Biden’s initiative announced recently to get 401(k) plans costs and management under control is the wrong approach, says Phil Town. What does it take to get our representatives working for the people instead of working for the financial industry lobby? The VP’s attempt to make sure the little guy is protected from over-charging self-enriching fund administrators and money managers, is far from the mark. Town points out that the majority of Americans still believe that if you have a diversified portfolio of mutual funds they will go up in the long run at 8% a year. Truth is shocking. According to Town the long run can be longer than you imagine. 1905-1942 – about 0% return in a diversified portfolio. 37 years. 1965-1983 – about 0% return in a diversified portfolio. 18 years. 2000-2010 – about 0% return in a diversified portfolio with a long way to go to go up.

Phil Town says that if the VP wants to make sure the little guy is protected from over-charging self-enriching fund administrators and money managers, all he has to do is require the 401(k) programs to include market index funds that have virtually no fees. But he doesn’t do that. Instead he is going to further confuse the little guys with advice that is coming from an ‘objective computer model certified to be unbiased by independent experts. These so-called “independent experts” are the same people who have been taking advantage of investors for years. It’s like putting a fox in charge of the hen house. Phil Town says he will be shocked if these ‘independent experts’ are not bought and paid for by the financial services industry and fully on-board with broad market high fee funds that do nothing different than an index except charge a fee of about 20% of your potential return per year.

Letter from Phil Town

admin — Mon, 15 Feb 2010 16:28:44 +0000

Dear Rule #1 Reader,

Why invest time to read my new book Payback Time you ask….?

Glad you asked.

The strategy detailed in my first book, Rule #1, starts with Rule #1 principles with success anchored on active trading. The strategy explained in the Phil Town new book Payback Time is about active investing: how to properly buy and hold a stock. I call this investing strategy stockpiling, because it’s about how and when to accumulate a wonderful business while the price is going down.

The combination of Rule #1 principles with the tactic of “stockpiling” stocks is the winning ticket to a rich life—particularly now. In fact, this time- tested approach to investing is exactly how the best investors in the world turn a down market into an up portfolio. The richest people in America use this strategy as their basic way of making billions, even if they prefer to keep it a secret. It’s time you learned how they do it, and then go do it yourself. Follow what I teach and you will overthrow the financial industry that failed you. Phil Town invites you to seize the investing opportunity of a lifetime.

Don’t Pay Sticker Price

admin — Sat, 06 Feb 2010 02:16:02 +0000

If you remember what Phil showed you in RULE #1 about how to calculate the sticker price of a stock then you’ll be ready to learn the Phil Town Payback Time strategy. In Rule #1 he showed you how to calculate the sticker price of a company by using 4 key numbers.

EPS or Earning per share.
EPS Growth Rate
PE- Price-to-earnings ratio for 10 years
MARR-Minimum acceptable rate of return

If you know these four things, you can get to the value of your business target quite easily by just using a spreadsheet to calculate it. Some call the sticker price the “retail” value but either way the key is to never pay sticker price. Period. Using the MSN money page is a great place to research and find the EPS, EPSG, PE and MARR.
