Frazier Allen: Do Risk and Retirement Mix?
November 29, 2017
Clarksville, TN – Adding more stocks to your income plan may help offset low interest rates and inflation.
We live in unusual times, with interest rates at historical lows but likely to rise in the not-too-distant future, stocks trading at what some consider elevated levels driven by a years-long bull market, and investors scouring the pronouncements of central banks for clues to what may happen next.
However, one thing remains unchanged – those in or near retirement still have to map out a prudent strategy for generating income in the years ahead.

November 28, 2017
Clarksville, TN – Next week, the economic calendar picks back up and the Senate returns to work on its version of a tax-cut bill.
However, the focus is expected to be on Jay Powell’s Fed chair nomination hearing. Powell is unlikely to speak about the near-term policy outlook (what the Fed will do in December), but lawmakers will ask about his broader approach to monetary policy and banking regulation (expect vigorous questioning from Senator Warren, but he should eventually receive approval in a full Senate vote).

Frazier Allen: Where Medicare Falls Short
November 27, 2017
Clarksville, TN – Medicare provides a lot of coverage, but it doesn’t cover everything.
It’s never too early to start thinking and planning for retirement, especially when it comes to the top three expenses: housing, transportation and healthcare.
