What’s the dilemma? Are you looking at retirement, but you don’t have enough money to do so? It’s finally that time; America has turned the corner. The all time largest group of Americans ever born is beginning to retire: “The Baby Boomer Generation,” whose members include everyone who was born between 1946 and 1964. Did you know that a recent New York University study found that more than half of all households closing in on retirement won’t be able to string together enough money—through pension checks, 401(k)s, other savings and Social Security—to cover even 75 percent of what they’re making now. This is a huge problem for retiring Americans, and for the future of our country. If you are a “Boomer” who has now found yourself in this daunting situation, it may simply be too late to begin a long term portfolio investment strategy that only includes such things as mutual funds, a money market fund, or bank CD. These are investments that we refer to as “low and slow yielding returns.” Such investments are great when you have time on your side; these are considered conservative investments which can generally perform well given enough “time.” The problem we see with our now retiring Baby Boomer Generation is that they are lacking that one key component—time, and now they need a new solution, something that does not require a long “time” for maturity. If you are a baby boomer, your clock is ticking, and you’re looking for profits that you can take home right now. This, of course, requires a more aggressive investment vehicle. If you are one of the millions now stuck in this situation, you don’t have many choices left; you might want to look more towards “aggressive growth” investment vehicles, which of course include leveraged accounts. Unlike mutual funds or bank CDs, leveraged accounts come with added risk, but where there is little risk, there is also little reward. One such method of leverage can be found in the commodity or futures markets. Such instruments are used to trade common everyday items such as Orange Juice, Coffee, Unleaded Gasoline, Natural Gas and other such “commodities.” In the “futures” market, we can even trade such things as the DOW Index, or the S&P 500 index. You can trade these indices through the futures market just like you would trade companies such as IBM or Microsoft over at the stock exchange. Commodities, just like stocks, are traded on exchanges, but with a greater degree of leverage, which reduces the amount of time one must wait for assets to compound.
