Today, Schwab has established itself as a company with a unique identity: old-fashioned integrity meets technology-empowered financial services.

We urge you to read this book so you won't lose your life savings in an Investment Scam. Mike and Randy have a passion to help people avoid the Investment Scams that have caused Billions and Billions of dollars to disappear over the past 30 years in all kinds of illegal schemes designed to steal a person's life savings. In some cases, just bad investment advice has caused people to lose everything they own, leaving nothing for them to live on in retirement or for their children's inheritance. They have compiled interviews with hundreds of people to find out what caused them to make the bad choices that forever changed their lives and in many cases left them totally broke, sometimes depressed, and in some cases even suicidal. Before you ever write the first check, be sure you: *Understand that if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is *Realize that many times the ONLY person that has your best interest at heart, is YOU *Know that very few investments are really safe. Learn to ask better questions. *Know yourself, the investment advisor, their firm and the investment itself. *Never give anybody BLIND FAITH. Don't give your power to someone else. *Know what Claw Back is and how it works. You could lose more than you invested. *Know these 6 things about the specific investment you are about to invest in. *Know the LOSS OF EVERYTHING you have could devestate you. Read their stories. *Don't fall under the influence of GREED, DESPERATION, or being NAIVE. *Don't kid yourself. High returns ALWAYS bring more risk, no matter what a sales person says. If you are retired, read this before you ever invest again. Give this book to your children so they can make better decisions after they inherit your money If you are an Attorney, Wealth Manager, Trust Officer or Investment Advisor, you have clients who need to read this book. |
| charles schwab financial advisor program: Save More Tomorrow Shlomo Benartzi, 2012-04-12 One of the world’s top experts in behavioral finance offers innovative strategies for improving 401(k) plans. Half of Americans do not have access to a retirement saving plan at their workplace. Of those who do about a third fail to join. And those who do join tend to save too little and often make unwise investment decisions. In short, the 401(k) world is in crisis, and workers need help. Save More Tomorrow provides that help by focusing on the behavioral challenges that led to this crisis inertia, limited self-control, loss aversion, and myopia—and transforms them into behavioral solutions. These solutions, or tools, are based on cutting edge behavioral finance research and they can dramatically improve outcomes by, for example, helping employees: -Save, even if they aren’t ready to do so now, by using future enrollment. -Save more by showing them images of their future selves. -Save smarter by reshuffling the order of funds on the investment menu. Save More Tomorrow is the first comprehensive application of behavioral finance to improve retirement outcomes. It also makes it easy for plan sponsors and their advisers to apply these behavioral tools using its innovative Behavioral Audit process. |

| charles schwab financial advisor program: It Pays to Talk Carrie Schwab-Pomerantz, Charles Schwab, 2002-12-24 Does your family talk about money? Do your kids understand your money values? Do you and your mate agree on how you spend and invest your money? Do you know if your parents are financially secure? These are the questions that Carrie Schwab-Pomerantz and her father, Charles Schwab, ask at the beginning of this invaluable family financial primer. The authors acknowledge that these are difficult questions but stress that families must grapple with them and come up with answers. Despite the proliferation of the financial news media, money remains a taboo subject in most families. Often the mere thought of talking about money with a family member causes enormous personal stress and confusion. But it doesn’t have to be that way. The goal of this father-daughter collaboration is to bring solid financial advice into the context of family, where it can be explored, understood, and implemented to the benefit of everyone. The first essential thing that must happen is conversation, and It Pays to Talk is filled with advice about how to start talking. The authors are both working parents with a combined sixty-five years of knowledge and experience in the investment field. In this book they present a road map that every family can follow as they develop and implement an investment strategy and money-management plan. They begin by covering the fundamental principles that every investor needs to understand in order to succeed for the long term, and then they move on to cover joining forces in marriage; building your family’s wealth regardless of market conditions; investing for your children’s future and raising money-savvy kids; retirement planning; estate planning for you and your parents; and dealing with the unexpected—insurance, divorce, and investing a windfall. Throughout the book, the authors offer advice about how to start the often difficult conversations that lead to smart decision-making, as well as how to talk gently, intelligently, and respectfully about the many issues that define and shape our attitudes about money. It does pay to talk. This valuable and expert book will get you started and help you at every stage of your family’s investment career. |

| charles schwab financial advisor program: THE PERSONAL POWER PROGRAM Darcy Holmer, 2023-12-20 Do you yearn for more in your life but feel like you're settling for less? Discover the transformative power of feeling good in your inner self, body, and finances with Darcy Holmer's The Personal Power Program: A Woman's Step-by-Step Guide to Thriving in Self, Body & Money. Just as Stephen Covey's The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People provided readers with guiding principles for greater personal effectiveness, The Personal Power Program gives women guiding steps toward greater personal empowerment and fulfillment. In a world where power is typically measured by external influence, Holmer emphasizes the true essence of power: the ability to shape your own life. This power to choose your path and take action to achieve your goals comes from the synergy of well-being in three key areas: Self, Body & Money. Together, they create a powerful force that can transform you and your life. Self: Have clarity of what you want, enjoy greater inner peace (even when life around you is not so peaceful), navigate self-doubt and other not-enoughness feelings, and align what you do with what you want to achieve your goals. Body: Experience the amazing transformation in how you feel and live when you love exercising because of how it makes you feel and enjoy a peaceful, pleasurable relationship with food (free from diet dramas, no willpower or deprivation required). Money: Identify the financial goals that support your life goals, build your financial well-being, and enjoy the freedom and empowerment of feeling financially secure and having the resources to achieve the fulfilling life experiences you want for yourself and your loved ones. Drawing from her own journey and professional insights, Holmer gives you a practical guide that shows you step by step how to build your Personal Power to create what you want to feel and see in your life. The Personal Power Program is more than just a book; it's a call to action for every woman who isn't willing to settle for less and is ready to take action to start realizing her more. |

Haber, Seth P. Hieken, Matthew C. Ilteris, D. Scott McDonald, Joseph A. Salvati, Stephen R. Stelljes, 2018-11-12 Effective financial planning for executives and entrepreneurs is complex, dense, and impossible to reduce to a single, easy-to-understand formula. Designed to emphasize the importance of effective, targeted financial planning, this book begins by telling a story about a fictional, but plausible, power couple and their family who (spoiler alert!) do pretty much everything wrong in securing their financial future. In most cases, they don’t do the things needed because they don’t know what they are. Using this story as a case study of executives and entrepreneurs, the book breaks down the case into chapters and offers practical discussions of all the key financial planning pillars—investment planning, tax planning, estate planning, philanthropic planning, risk management, and equity-based compensation to name a few—with the tools needed to tailor a plan for virtually every circumstance and need. While there is no single plan that works for everybody, this book will provide a guide with complicated, technical information alongside specific guidance on how to build an effective financial plan. |
