From Bull Market to Bear Market in a Flash – Season 2: Episode 2

So maybe you looked at your 401(k) balance as recently as mid-February, and then decided you’d finally enough saved up to retire.  You put your notice in at work, everyone wished you well, and then…

And then.  From bull market to bear market in a flash, without warning.  What have you done?  Can you really afford to retire now?  Good question.

In this week’s podcast, Johnny Dean and Professor Rick Plum talk about the importance of having a strategy, and how defending your portfolio against the inevitable volatility and market downturns well ahead of time can potentially make a huge difference between retiring when you want to, and having to postpone your retirement indefinitely.
