XCSFDHG46767FHJHJF

dow2664 Did you happen to see the Victoria’s Secret fashion show on TV the other night? Supermodel Miranda Kerr wore a $2.5 million diamond-studded bra . Who can afford such apparel? Well, Gisele Bündchen, the richest supermodel in the world, for one. Gisele is the wife of football star Tom Brady, is still in first place in terms of supermodel earnings, making approximately $45 million per year. Heidi Klum is in second place at $20 million, with Kate Moss in third place at $13.5 million. In fourth place is Adriana Lima at $8 million and Alessandra Ambrosio with $5 million per year according to Forbes . Gisele, who receives most of her income in euros and Brazilian reals, is a celebrity endorser and spokesperson for numerous products of many publicly traded companies. If you look at these companies and build them into the form of a stock index, you can see how Gisele’s stocks compare to stocks in general. Tracking the stocks she is connected with from January of 2007, the Gisele Bundchen Stock Index has substantially outperformed the Dow Jones Industrial Average. A selection of the stocks in her index include: Volkswagon (VLKAY.PK) TV commercial spokesperson Polo Ralph Lauren Corp.

Other celebrity stock indexes you may be interested in include the Heidi Klum Stock Index , the Eva Longoria Stock Index , the Angelina Jolie Stock Index , the Jessica Alba Stock Index , the Nicole Kidman Stock Index , the Freida Pinto Stock Index , and the Supermodels Stock Indices .

How to Manage Your Retirement Accounts

XCSFDHG46767FHJHJF

tdp2664 InvestorPlace It's official: You're one of the umpteen million Americans growing a nest egg for retirement. Now what? How do you actually run this contraption? How much should you put in, and when? What kinds of investments should you consider — and in what proportions? When should you pull the cash out, and how fast? Start Early, Take It to the Max The most important piece of advice I can share with you about retirement accounts is to begin contributing as soon as possible. Time, not genius, is the great wealth-builder. Here's an illustration that bowled me over when I first saw it. Susie Sunrise, 22, tucks away $3,000 a year in her IRA for seven years, then never saves another dime. Marsha Midday doesn't set up an IRA until age 35. But she faithfully deposits $3,000 a year for the next 30 years. Both ladies earn 8% on their investments. At age 65, which contestant do you suppose has the bigger balance? Roll the drums … it's Susie! Her account is worth $461,637, versus only $367,038 for Marsha. Start early. I launched IRAs for all three of my daughters soon after they got their first summer jobs as teenagers. If starting early isn't an option for you anymore, the best way to make up for lost time is to contribute more. It just seems like common sense. Yet millions of Americans don’t take full advantage of the smartest retirement strategy (and most obvious tax dodge) out there. Investing Your Retirement Money People often ask me, "What kind of investments should I own inside my retirement accounts?" As we'll see in a moment, the answer depends to a large extent on your stage in life. It's worth bearing in mind, though, that retirement accounts are tax-sheltered. You want to take full advantage of that feature. If you are in your 20s and 30s, I suggest using your retirement accounts to hold investments that tend to generate a lot of short-term capital gains (short-term gains, where you buy and then sell in 12 months or less, are taxed at the same high rates as wages and salaries). Mutual funds of the "aggressive growth" variety fit in this category. In addition, if you plan to trade stocks or mutual funds frequently, a retirement account can save you a pretty penny in taxes. Most brokerage firms, including discounters like Charles Schwab (NYSE: SCHW ) and TD Waterhouse, welcome self-directed retirement accounts. As you move into your 40s and 50s, you'll probably be ready to shift to a more conservative investment stance. It's still OK to use your retirement accounts as a trading vehicle, but you can also benefit by accumulating bonds and dividend-paying stocks in a tax-protected format. For people in this age bracket, I recommend storing up high-yield investments (like REITs and utilities) inside a retirement account. That way, your plump interest and dividends will escape Uncle Sam's bite.

Crisis Averted — Until December Resistance Kills Rally

XCSFDHG46767FHJHJF

tdp2664 InvestorPlace The sands of time are sinking, but it still looks as if stocks want to take one more shot at the upside before the year-end rally runs into heavy resistance (probably during the first half of December). After Wednesday’s smash, a few pieces of cheerful news popped up Thursday and again Friday — enough to hoist the Dow over 350 points across those two days, out of danger territory for now. First, that key gauge I told you to watch in Tuesday’s blog — Italian 10-year bond yields — eased to about 6.5% at the end of the week. Italy certainly isn’t out of the woods yet. However, it’s a relief that the country’s government-bond yield fell back below the perilous 7% threshold. Recall, it was a spike above 7% that forced Greece, Ireland and Portugal to seek bailouts from the EU. Italy’s public debt, at $2.6 trillion, is bigger than those other three nations’ combined. So if Italy’s borrowing costs really were to ring the 7% “plague bell” for more than just a day or two, there’s good reason to fear that Europe’s financial woes would quickly escalate. In other upbeat news this week, the Labor Department reported that its weekly count of

dow2664 The Dow Jones Industrial Average, along with the Nasdaq and S&P 500, experienced better than expected trend-line movement to close out the last trading session of the week yesterday. The rebound for the primary indices in the U.S. began Thursday when the economic posts that presented were better than expected and progressive action in the eurozone eased debt crisis anxieties. Jobless claims data dropped as did the gap for the U.S. trade deficit. Greece is implementing new leadership and Italy’s government is taking action to secure austerity measures. Consumer sentiment was on the rise. According to the recent report from the University of Michigan, consumer sentiment in November rose higher than it has been in almost half of a year. The index posted higher at 64.2 in November which was an increase over 60.9 in October. As the trading session culminated, the three primary stock composites in the U.S. finished green.
