Worried About Inflation? Think About Purchasing Power.
A constant risk I see new investors take is their unwitting belief that wealth should be measured in nominal currency, such as United States dollars or British pounds sterling, instead of purchasing power. In the end, purchasing power is the only thing that matters. It is the only thing that counts – how much stuff you can buy or give away to help others.
In To Guard Against Inflation, Focus on Purchasing Power Not Dollars, we look at some of the specifics of why this is so important. By taking a net-of-inflation approach to your portfolio, you can opportunistically look at the returns from investing in bonds or other asset classes and realize that what looks like a good return might actually be a money-losing proposition!

How To Build Real Wealth the secrets the rich dont want you to know about how to build wealth
Getting your mind in
line is critical when in comes to generating wealth. I like the old saying – ‘send the mind and the
body will follow’… well I like to say, ‘send the mind and the bank balance will follow’. You see
wealth very rarely comes from hard physical work, but comes in abundance when you use a little
brain power.
Wealth is a funny thing. We spend most of our lives to make it and then (if we make it) spend very
few years enjoying it. How about making it
A Stock I Wrote About is up 67% in Less than a Month…
My loss is your gain. Less than a month ago, I told readers about the potentially strong upturn in place for carbon fiber maker Zoltek (Nasdaq: ZOLT).
Thanks to a just-released quarterly report, shares are now up a heady 67% from where I recommended them. And that's in just one month! I didn't add the stock to my $ 100,000 Real-Money Portfolio, awaiting a better entry point that never arrived. Hopefully, you were able to get in the action and have been able to secure a tidy gain.
Here's the odd part. This stock still has a lot more upside. After myriad false starts, this company is finally getting its act together.

Troops Worry About Retirement
BOSTON (MainStreet) — Military families are more concerned about their retirement prospects than economic conditions, inflation, debt and health insurance.
That’s the upshot of recent survey results from First Command Financial Services. It found that 71% of middle-class military families (those with household incomes of at least $ 50,000) cited government cuts to military retirement benefits as the financial issue that concerns them the most. The economy came in second at 54%, followed by the cost of gas at 51%.
Big changes that could be afoot for military pensions are a top financial concern for enlisted men and women.

4 Reasons to be Optimistic about the Stock Market in the Years Ahead
We've reached the time of year when investors flip the calendar and try to anticipate the events to come for 2012. I've weighed in with my own near-term strategies and provided a glimpse of my three favorite sectors for the coming year.
Right now, bearish factors such the European crisis, still-high unemployment rates and a pervading sense that Washington can do no right are the key factors behind the market. Indeed, the S&P 500 is down roughly 10% since late July, and it feels even worse than that. Stocks could slump even more — recall that they were quite cheap at the start of 2009 and fell even further for the next two months before posting a stunning two-year rally.
Yet in some respects, a focus on the next few quarters may be obscuring a far larger set of trends that may or may not affect the market in 2012, but will surely dictate the trading action in 2013 and beyond. Simply put, there are a lot more reasons to bullish on stocks for the long haul then there are reasons to be bearish. The longer-term is brighter than you may think. Here's why…
