ARTICLES


Preferred Securities Offer A Significant Income Stream, But Not Necessarily Stability:

Preferred stocks currently offer some of the highest yields in the fixed income world, but they can be almost as volatile as common stocks at times.  After all, they are stocks. They also provide an income advantage, but they can provide an income taxation advantage as well regardless of one’s tax bracket.  The after-tax yield can even exceed that of tax-exempt municipal bonds at times like the current situation.   Learn more by reading “Preferred Securities Offer A Significant Income Stream, But Not Necessarily Stability”.  For further information, contact Louis P. Stanasolovich, CFP® at (412) 635-9210.


2020 Retirement Plan Contribution Limits:

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has announced 2020 Retirement Plan Contribution Limits regarding contributions to 401(k), 403(b), and 457(b) Plans as well as for Traditional IRA, and Roth IRA accounts.  Learn more by reading “2020 Retirement Plan Contribution Limits”.  For further information, contact Legend’s James J. Holtzman, CFP® at (412) 635-9210.


Create A Personalized Credit Monitoring Service:

Federal law allows everyone to obtain a free copy of their credit report every 12 months from each credit reporting company.  By requesting one report every four months from a different company (Equifax, TransUnion and Experian), an individual can perform their own credit monitoring for free.  Learn more by reading Create A Personalized Credit Monitoring Service”.  For further information, contact Legend’s James J. Holtzman, CFP® at (412) 635-9210.


Self-Employment Insurance:

In decades past, the average individual had a job, usually within one company, often for the rest of their life.  In 2020, it’s a different story.  That’s because many people have gigs (part-time or even full-time jobs on the sides, but as independent contractors).  These have become an economy of independent consultants who often move from one job to the next.  Learn more by reading Self-Employment Insurance”.  For further information, contact Legend’s Louis P. Stanasolovich, CFP® at (412) 635-9210.


Understanding Daily TIPS Interest Accruals - A Bit Complex:

Recently, several investment pundits have been recommending Treasury Inflation Protection Securities (TIPS) as a fixed income investment because of potential rising interest rates.  TIPS interest calculation mechanics are calculated in an unusual manner relative to the typical bond.  The principal accrual is calculated daily by applying the second prior month’s (two months before the current month—in other words, a two-month lag) non-seasonally adjusted CPI-U percentage (commonly known as inflation) change proportionately to each day (meaning the daily rate is applied to the number of days) of the current calendar month.  Learn more by reading "Understanding Daily TIPS Interest Accruals - A Bit Complex".  For further information, contact Legend’s James J. Holtzman, CFP® at (412) 635-9210.
