“Yah, Right…..”
I was jogging on a treadmill this weekend and watched TV while I was doing so.
Fox news was having one of their money specialists come on and talk.
The topic and heading was, “What stocks to put your money in to retire with!” I thought to myself this should be good for a laugh.
Why, if you were retiring in 2008 and wanted to withdraw from your account you know that you would be taking a huge hit on your withdrawals.
So because of the market you would have to wait for your retirement.
So what gives?
How can these guys go back on TV and look you in the eye and say invest in the stock market.
I have a blog on going to Las Vegas; I think if you played blackjack you would get better odds. I don’t know where these guys are at, but the stock market is a gamble, and if you know that and you invest your retirement funds there then God bless you. (There are guys with Florida swamp land for sale wanting to sell us some!)
Amid all the market mess and meltdown, the sales guys, promoters and the like are still pushing the stock market as a safe and stable long term investment.
Folks I don’t have the heart for you but if you are braver and riskier that I am go for it.
Do what Howard does; he invests in cash flow real estate commercial products that will produce a yearly income, managed by good professionals and with equity growth and appreciation in the future.
Now what’s wrong with that?

About Me
- Richard Crenian
- Richard Crenian is President of Redev Properties Ltd. His accomplishments are many and his failures were few. He believes that you cannot be a good lifeguard if you have not seen and saved a drowning and he applies that to good real estate investing. Crenian sees himself as a Turtle Investor, never rushing into a deal and that a new deal will come along every fifteen minutes (like a bus!). He also likens himself as a lifeguard, having seen some drownings, and not drowning himself, he knows what to and what not to do. (Lessons learned since Crenian’s start in 1981!) If some words would describe Crenian it would be an astute real estate investor and a survivor! A developer may develop for guts and glory. A seasoned investor couldn’t care less about the glory, nor does he want to play with his retirement funds. In 2001, Crenian and Manley (just like Gretzy and Juri Kurri in hockey, did but only better!) reconnected to invest in long term commercial real estate projects. With sixty years of experience, they are glad they did! Please visit the REDEV Web site at http://www.redevgroup.com
