URGENT RETIREMENT BRIEFING
FROM THE BOB LIVINGSTON LETTER:

The #1 Retirement Scam in America

How Wall Street figured out how to take $681,304.96 from the average American family without being noticed.

(Yes, your nest egg SHOULD be much, MUCH bigger)


Dear Friend,

We’re neck deep in a quiet crisis being totally ignored by the mainstream media.

Right now, today, Americans are secretly having their hardearned savings transferred into the hands of rich Wall Street fat-cats. If you own an IRA, 401k, or other retirement savings account then your money is at IMMEDIATE RISK.

Wall Street has pulled the wool over America’s eyes.

The average American couple with both an IRA and 401k will lose $681,304.96 of their nest egg to the greatest scam Wall Street ever engineered -- without even knowing it! In fact, the “smarter” you’ve been, the more money you’ve saved, the greater your risk.

Unlike the mainstream media, Wall Street can’t pay me enough to keep my mouth shut about how they’re wiping out the retirement of honest, hard-working people.

Today I’m speaking up. My name is Bob Livingston and I founded The Bob Livingston Letter 45 years ago based on a single, profoundly simple concept: THE TRUTH.

Through my own experiences as a young man -- financial and otherwise -- I realized that the rarest and most valuable element on Earth was NOT a diamond. It was the truth.

Over the years I’ve surrounded myself with a solid network of experts -- a brain trust so to speak. They’ve warned me and now it’s my turn. Because I refuse to allow one more fellow American to be nickel and dimed out of their hard-earned money just to fatten Wall Street’s wallet.

How the Scam Starts

Believe it or not, it starts for many in the human resources office at work or when they sit down with a financial advisor.

The truth is, the entire accepted “retirement system” has been subverted.

When you first decide to save for retirement you are given slick brochures showing the power of compounding and how the $10,000 you save today could become $100,000 down the road.

But all of those retirement brochures have one thing in common: They tell you to invest in mutual funds. Every single one of them. They don’t tell you to buy stocks directly.

They tell you to put your money in the hands of “experts.” And that’s where the danger is.

Forbes reveals 5 Hidden Fees your mutual fund doesn’t want you to know about.

Look at your mutual fund statement and you’ll THINK you’re just paying the “expense ratio” which averages about to 0.9% of your portfolio or $900 on every $100,000 in your nest egg.

But there are 5 other hidden fees you’re likely paying.

1. Transaction costs: These are the brokerage commissions, the funds charge on the price of shares it’s buying, and what’s called “Spread Cost.”

2. Tax costs: Forbes revealed your money is often used to pay taxes on OTHER investors’ gains. When you buy shares of the fund you can get stuck with the fund’s tax bill on previous gains. Don’t you pay enough of your own taxes?!!

3. Cash drag: Every fund keeps cash on hand. That’s money you invested but is NOT working for you! Yes, you still pay the expense ratio on that “do-nothing” money.

4. Soft dollar cost: Fund managers play favorites with service providers and the net effect of that is hidden, but higher fees. One study estimated it’s as much as $1 billion a year! That comes out of the fund investor’s pockets.

5. Advisory fees: Advisors get a small commission ranging from 0.25% to 2.5% of an investor’s portfolio. More money out of your pocket.

All together every year these hidden fees add up to an average 3.17% in non-taxable accounts, and 4.17% in taxable accounts.

The staggering hidden costs
of saving for retirement.

When you invest in a mutual fund the fund must tell you how much it will cost to own.

It’s called the “expense ratio” and tells you what, on the surface, you will pay to have your money managed by the fund.

It always seems TINY -- one half of a percent or so.

But that’s not the real cost. Not by a long shot.

Forbes recently revealed the TRUE COST of owning mutual funds is shockingly high. You THINK you’re paying less than 1%, but the truth is the fund costs you ON AVERAGE 3.17% in a non-taxable account like an IRA and 4.17% in a taxable savings account.

Because you pay that EVERY YEAR you will lose HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of your hard earned money.

They took an average of $155,000
in fees from you while you worked!

The mainstream media, as a mouthpiece for Wall Street, talks about a retirement crisis. They blame Americans for NOT saving enough.

But the truth is, it’s a fake crisis. The average two-earner couple lost $155,000 of the money they saved while working to fund fees when saving for retirement. And if you were a “higher income” couple, then you more than likely lost $277,000 or more in fees.

In other words, the average two-income couple SAVED $155,000 that didn’t go to their nest egg. And it did NOT compound and grow over the years. It went to Wall Street.

It gets worse! These hidden fees steal
HALF of your nest egg AFTER you retire.

Let’s look at the numbers to show you how damaging this really is.

The average U.S. couple who retires with a 401k and IRA has $261,400 saved. If they pay 3.17% a year in hidden fees to Wall Street then watch what happens to their nest egg.

*NOTE: I’m not adding in potential stock market returns here because I want to isolate how much money is being lost. If your investments make more money then you’ll pay more in fees. If your investments lose money you’ll pay less... but you’ll still have less money.

The average couple with an IRA & 401k
SHOULD lose as much as $681,304
to fees and LOST compound interest!

It’s outrageous! Those hidden fees will take $124,152.48 out of a $261,400 nest egg during a 20-year retirement. That’s 47% of your life savings -- GONE!

But that’s not the worst part because you were supposed to be compounding your money.

If we calculate how much compound interest you COULD have made on JUST THE LOST FEES, then you see the real damage. You lose a potential $402,228.50 in lost compound interest.

Step back for a moment. If a couple like this retired with $261,400 in savings we know they likely paid $155,000 in fees during their career.

20 $137,247.42 $4,493.17 $4,920.02
$124,152.48 $402,228.50

In other words, following the most common retirement plan will cost you $681,304.96!

To add insult to injury most mutual funds underperform the market over the long term.

Are these overpriced investment experts worth all that money? NO! Studies show most fund managers underperform the market.

So not only do mutual funds cost you roughly $3,000 a year for every $100,000 you have saved -- you’re paying that money to make less than the market as a whole! It’s insane that this is the standard retirement plan in America today. It only works because people are like sheep: They just do what they’re told. And Wall Street is the one telling everyone what is the “right way” to save and invest for retirement.

Is it any wonder all their advice transfers OUR money into THEIR pockets?

“So what on earth can I do, Bob?”

This is the #1 question I get after I explain the true cost of owning mutual funds.

Wall Street has spent so much time marketing funds of all kinds it seems like there is no other option. Of course, there is.

Wall Street’s
“Sacred Cash Cow” is Bigger than China’s Entire Economy!

In 2014 China’s economy was $10 trillion. Compare that to the mutual fund industry that has $15 trillion in assets under management.

Imagine that! Wall Street controls $5 TRILLION more in assets than the GDP of China. And just $2.5 trillion LESS than the GDP of the United States of America.

These are the Sacred Cash Cows of Wall Street. Does anyone believe these funds were designed to make you and me money? They exist to funnel a percentage of your wealth into Wall Street’s hands.

You can invest directly into individual stocks. That scares a lot of people because they think it’s hard to pick stocks.

And it is IF you don’t have the right information.

But let me show you the single greatest piece of investing research I’ve ever uncovered...

Where to make TEN TIMES MORE MONEY than Wall Street’s so called “income vehicles.”

If you ever need proof Wall Street’s advice is hurting you, then look no further than bond income.

The Wall Street Promoted Retirement Plan tells you to subtract your age from 100. Then put that percentage in stocks and the rest in bonds. So if you’re 70 you’d put 30% of your money in stocks and 70% in bonds.

The idea is the older you get, the more you should rely on “safe” income-producing investments like bonds. The problem? Since 1980 every American who followed that advice lost out on a lot of money.

$10,000 invested in bonds in 1980 only produced $2,998 in income by 2013.

However, the SAME $10,000 invested at the same time into stocks in the S&P 500 that paid dividends would have produced $32,418 of income by 2013.

In other words, plain old dividend stocks paid TEN TIMES MORE MONEY than Wall Street’s favorite “income vehicle.”

These same stocks PROTECT your money
from market crashes.

When it comes to my money, safety is my #1 concern.

I hate losing money and I bet you do too. And that’s another reason to love dividend stocks.

If you look at the last two major stock market crashes -- the financial crisis of 2008 and the Tech Bust of 2000 you’ll see that dividend payers saved the financial lives of their investors.

When the Tech Bubble popped in 2000 it sent the market into a two-year bear market. During that time the S&P 500 LOST 14.6% a year on average.

But when you focus on just the dividend paying stocks in the S&P 500 you see a different story: During the bear market they GAINED 8.3%.

6 In other words, a $100,000 nest egg LOST $14,600 during that period if it was invested in the S&P 500.

But a dividend invested nest egg GAINED $8,300. These stocks did a whopping 26.81% better during that two-year bear market.

Even better: Right after that, when the bull market started, dividend payers outperformed the S&P 500 by 48%.

They saved retirement accounts during the
2008 Financial Crisis too!

We know the REAL financial crisis started in the summer of 2007.

And from the start of the crisis through the market recovery, dividend paying stocks outperformed the S&P 500 by 352.94%.

Remarkable isn’t it?

BE WARNED: If you DO NOT invest in dividend stocks then you lose 50% of the market gains over time...

...Because HALF of all the gains in the stock market over the last 100 years have come from dividends.

Income is (nearly) everything when investing!

The reason dividend stocks outperform is because they pay a percentage of their profits to investors. Investors can either take the cash and spend it, or reinvest it.

Plus, a company capable of paying money to investors is a company that is MAKING A PROFIT. If a company is losing money (or not making any) then it can’t pay anything to investors.

That’s the key. You only want to invest in things that pay you to own them. Dividend stocks consistently outperform the market precisely because they pay investors a piece of the profits.

Think about it: Why give a company your money if they are NOT going to pay you anything?

The Tale of Two
$100 Investors Over 83-Years of Stock Market History

Imagine Jim & Bill both invested $100 in the stock market in 1929.

The Moral of the Story: If you don’t invest in dividend paying stocks you’ll miss out on HALF the money the market can make you.

These income stocks get the
“Bob Livingston Seal of Approval.”

My research team and I have worked for months to comb through annual reports, sector and stock analysis, and other stock market data to find the smartest dividend paying stocks to invest in right now.

I had a hard-nosed checklist of things each investment had to meet in order for me to consider it.

Once we had the best stocks in the best sectors we filtered them to find the companies that pay the most to own them.

What we ended up with is “the best of the best” incomeproducing stocks that I believe every investor should look at right now.

My top blue chip stocks for building steady income and a giant nest egg.

I’ve taken all of our research and published it in a brand new special income report, Safe Harbor Income-Builders: Stocks that Will Pay You in this Increasingly Volatile World.

As you probably know, the world is entering a new phase. The U.S. economy and market is becoming more and more dependent on the energy sector.

This sector will continue to be the cornerstone of the U.S. economy for decades to come.

I worked to find stocks that can not only survive but can thrive in this new reality. There are two ways to take advantage of this new market reality: First, find the remaining growth opportunities that pay you like a business partner.

Second, find the companies that are not only ports in the storm but have built a reputation of being the highest quality long-term investments in the markets.

That’s what we’re looking at here: The core energy companies everyone turns to when there doesn’t seem to be any safe place to turn. Including companies like...

I’d like to send you my team’s in-depth analysis of these dividend stocks and more. Every one of them is exactly the kind of safe-money stock that pays you to own it.

Better yet, these stocks pay you as much, or more than Wall Street was sucking out of your nest egg with hidden fees. And they are just the start of what I’d like to send you today.

PLUS, I put together a list of
today’s top BIG income investments.

I also wanted to have a list of big income boosters: Several “alternative investments” capable of delivering larger than normal yields of regular stocks.

They all still had to meet my original “safety first” criteria of being rock-solid companies in rock-solid sectors with rock-solid profits.

My team and I have researched some of the best alternate income investments in the world today. This income report is called How to Invest in the TWO Hottest Trends in America’s New 21st Century Economy and reveals dividend-paying stocks in two of the hottest sectors, including...

Let me send you both of these
timely income reports today so you can
make back what Wall Street took from you!

I’ve shown you how Wall Street takes money out of your pockets when you buy their mutual funds, charging an average of 3.17% or more a year in hidden fees! That’s $317 a year on every $10,000 in your nest egg—$3,170 over a ten year period! Outrageous!

That’s why I must get both of these critical income-building reports to you as soon as possible.

Normally you’d pay $129 for this valued research. But I’ve made special arrangements that allow me to offer it to you today—absolutely FREE!

But as urgent as this information is, there’s more you should know...

Truthful, raw political, economic, health
and survival news you won’t hear
on the nightly news.

Believe me, at a time in America when the stakes are unbelievably high—when your life and complete financial well-being are at risk—you NEED accurate, unbiased, truthful information—like I’ve shared here.

If you don’t know the unvarnished truth about your money, you lose it. If you don’t know the uncensored facts about our healthcare system, you die. And if you expect truth from politicians... hand your liberties over to Washington today.

Like any precious commodity, the truth is always in short supply—and that’s a big problem. It’s also exactly why I began publishing The Bob Livingston Letter 45 years ago.

No mainstream lies here.

My readers understand that the media, the Internet, and 99 percent of all major news outlets have a hidden agenda that has little to do with anyone’s prosperity but their own—much like Wall Street!

Most importantly, they know they can depend on the The Bob Livingston Letter® to break through the agendas and lies to reveal the true story.

That’s just one reason why they wouldn’t dream of missing a single issue. Another reason is that my team and I cover everything that has real, meaningful impact on your life.

That includes your money, your job, your business, taxes, retirement planning, Social Security, investing, insurance, personal privacy and liberty, travel, recreation, estate-planning, college-planning, self-defense, home security, healthcare, hospitals, health insurance and my own personal favorite: Natural healing.

A skeptical look at conventional wisdom

When I got sick years ago, I decided enough was enough. After four heart attacks before the age of 40, and advice from doctors that made me sicker, I sought natural and alternative cures... and I’ve outlived those very doctors.

What I discovered I’d like to share with you in my “healing hall of fame” collection of some of the most effective health alternatives that have been featured in The Bob Livingston Letter® over the last few years...

Your FREE copy of The MD's Treasury of HUSHED-UP HEALING MIRACLES, includes DOZENS of easy-does-it remedies for over 50 common conditions including, heart problems, blood pressure, cholesterol, anti-aging, memory problems, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, arthritis, and SO much more.

But my savvy readers know there’s more to protect...

Don’t tread on me -- or my readers.

Maybe you think the NSA and FBI have no interest in you... but what about the IRS? Or any number of hackers, who could steal your identity, snoop your private emails and drain your bank accounts in an instant?

Electronic spying on private citizens is a financial bonanza for big government, big business and big (and small-time) criminals. And most Americans don’t have a clue how vulnerable they are!

But The Bob Livingston Letter™ digs into these egregious threats at the deepest level.

In my FREE report, Without a Trace: The Ultimate Guide to Digital Privacy in the Age of Big Brother, you’ll discover simple steps to bullet-proof your privacy—ranging from securing cell-phone conversations to dropping off the grid completely!
