Retirement planning is one of the most popular reasons why someone does a financial counseling session with me. Typically, an employee comes into the session loaded with their retirement and social security statements, ready to hear that all of their hard work has paid off and they can retire yesterday.  As soon as I find out that they are in a relationship, my next question is about how much joint retirement planning they’ve done with their partner. I usually hear that they have discussed the basics such as where they will live and how much income they may have, but that is generally as far as it goes. I encourage you to set aside time with your spouse, undistracted, to walk through the following questions that if not addressed, can be retirement income budget busters:

When do you want to retire? Discuss with your partner the financial consequences linked with the age of retirement. For example, if you or your partner decide to retire before 65, healthcare may take a big chunk out of your income. The 2017 average health insurance premium for a 60 year old is about $872 a month for a silver plan on the Affordable Care Act exchange. Consider using retirement calculators to estimate how much income you may receive and how the income may vary depending on when you and your spouse claim Social Security.

Many of the problems facing the markets reside in Washington these days. Let’s check out four that I see.

Here they are:

President Donald Trump continues to embark upon hastily crafted and poorly thought-out policies. His impulsive nature has caught up to him — and the markets — and his policies raise the chances of a recession in late 2019/early 2020. We have what I’d describe as minor-league players like U.S. Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin and White House trade adviser Peter Navarro trying to compete against the major leaguers of China in formulating economic policy within the context of a flat and interconnected world.

Best China Stocks To Own Right Now: Sina Corporation(SINA)

Advisors’ Opinion:

  • [By Leo Sun]

    But as the U.S. market remains stuck in neutral, Chinese tech stocks have thrived, sparked by impressive growth figures and their detachment from U.S.-centered issues. Let’s examine three stocks in that industry which have already rallied more than 30% this month — Baozun (NASDAQ:BZUN), Weibo (NASDAQ:WB), and SINA (NASDAQ:SINA).

  • [By Steve Symington]

    You wouldn’t know it by the market’s knee-jerk reaction, butSINA Corp.(NASDAQ:SINA)just announced another stronger-than-expected quarter early Wednesday.Shares of the Chinese internet media company fell 10% when all was said and done today — though it’s not the first time we’ve seen the stock fall on positive news.

  • [By Leo Sun]

    Warren Buffett famously told investors to be “fearful when others are greedy, and greedy when others are fearful.” Dedicated followers of that mantra would probably dismiss Chinese online media giant SINA (NASDAQ:SINA) — which rallied 120% over the past 12 months to a six-year high — as a “greedy” play.

  • [By Shanthi Rexaline]

    SINA Corp (NASDAQ: SINA), which has a stake in Weibo, also tumbled.

    Weibo confirmed that the State Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, Film and Television of the People’s Republic of China or SAPPRFT has ordered local authorities to take measures to suspend audio and video services of some internet companies.

Eagle Global Advisors LLC owned about 0.12% of Sina worth $8,850,000 at the end of the most recent quarter.

Top 10 Financial Stocks To Watch For 2018: QCR Holdings Inc.(QCRH)

Advisors’ Opinion:

  • [By Keith Fitz-Gerald]

    My favorite at the moment is QCR Holdings Inc. (NasdaqGM:QCRH).

    Founded in 1993 and headquartered in Moline, IL, the bank has a strong regional lending base in Illinois and Iowa that should grow in line with the broader national economy. I particularly like the fact that the bank considers itself relationship-driven at a time when trust is in short supply.
