A lot of folks have empty nest eggs.
A third of people (36%) in the U.S. have nothing saved for retirement, a new survey shows.
In fact, 14% of people ages 65 and older have no retirement savings; 26% of those 50 to 64; 33%, 30 to 49; and 69%,18 to 29, according to the survey of 1,003 adults, conducted for Bankrate.com, a personal finance website.
"These numbers are very troubling because the burden for retirement savings is increasingly on us as individuals with each passing day," says Greg McBride, chief financial analyst for Bankrate.com. "Regardless of your age, there is no better time than the present to start saving for your retirement. The key to a successful retirement is to save early and aggressively."
Other recent research confirms that many people aren't saving enough for their golden years. About 36% of workers have less than $1,000 in savings and investments that could be used for retirement, not counting their primary residence or defined benefits plans such as traditional pensions, and 60% of workers have less than $25,000, according to a survey of 1,000 workers from the non-profit Employee Benefit Research Institute and Greenwald and Associates.
Many people realize that they are not on track in saving for retirement, and the two most important reasons they give are cost of living and day-to-day expenses, says Jack VanDerhei, the institute's research director.

STORY: Retirees get creative to eat cheap at restaurants
He advises people to join the 401(k) plan if their employer offers one and to make sure to contribute at least enough to receive the maximum employer match. "Contributing anything less than that is leaving free money on the table," he says.
Other findings from the Bankrate.com survey:
• Some people are starting to tuck away retirement savings at an earlier age. About 32% of people ages 30 to 49 started saving for retirement in their 20s compared with 16% who began in their 30s. About 24% of people 50 to 64 started saving for retirement in their 20s vs. 21% who began in their 30s. About 16% of people 65 and older started saving for retirement in their 20s; 15% in their 30s; 17% in their 40s.
• 24% are less comfortable with their debt than they were a year ago; 23% are more comfortable.
• Job security, net worth and overall financial situation are areas in which people have seen improvement over one year ago.
• 32% of people are less comfortable with their overall savings now than they were a year ago; 16% are more comfortable.
"Month in and month out, consumers sound a dour tone about how they feel about their overall level of savings," McBride says. "Many people know they are under saved whether it's for emergencies, retirement or both."
Hemp homecoming: Rebirth sprouts in Kentucky

MURRAY, Ky. (AP) — Call it a homecoming for hemp: Marijuana's non-intoxicating cousin is undergoing a rebirth in a state at the forefront of efforts to reclaim it as a mainstream crop.
Researchers and farmers are producing the first legal hemp crop in generations in Kentucky, where hemp has turned into a political cause decades after it was banned by the federal government. Republican U.S. Sens. Mitch McConnell and Rand Paul advocate for it, as does state Agriculture Commissioner James Comer, a Republican who is running for governor next year.
The comeback is strictly small scale. Experimental hemp plots more closely resemble the size of large family gardens.
Statewide plantings totaled about 15 acres from the Appalachian foothills in eastern Kentucky to the broad stretches of farmland in the far west, said Adam Watson, the Kentucky Agriculture Department's hemp program coordinator.
The crop's reintroduction was delayed in the spring when imported hemp seeds were detained by U.S. customs officials. The state's Agriculture Department sued the federal government, but dropped the case Friday after reaching an agreement on importing the seeds into Kentucky. The seeds were released after federal drug officials approved a permit.
Since then, test plots have shown the crop to be hardy and fast growing — and a potential moneymaker with a remarkable range of traditional uses including clothing, mulch, hemp milk, cooking oil, soap and lotions.
"What we've learned is it will grow well in Kentucky," Comer said. "It yields a lot per acre. All the things that we predicted."
At Murray State University, about 180 miles southwest of Louisville, plants have sprouted to at least 8 feet tall, turning a shade of green and yellow as they reach maturity. Harvest is approaching.
"It's had a good growth period," said Murray State agriculture dean Tony L. Brannon. "It appeared to tolerate the extremes in weather from extremely wet to extremely dry pretty well."
Hemp's roots in Kentucky date back to pioneer days and the towering stalks were once a staple at many farms.
"We've got an excellent climate for it, excellent soils for it," Watson said. "It's a good fit for Kentucky producers. The ultimate question is going to come down to economics. Is there a market and can Kentucky capture that?"
Growing hemp without a federal permit was banned in 1970 due to its classification as a controlled substance related to marijuana. Hemp and marijuana are the same species, Cannabis sativa, but hemp has a negligible amount of THC, the psychoactive compound that gives marijuana users a high.
Legal production of the crop has been gone for so long that it was a virtual blank slate in modern Kentucky agriculture.
Teams of researchers and farmers are studying which seed varieties and soil types are best suited and how much moisture or fertilizer are needed.
"There are a lot of unknowns," Watson said. "It's those sorts of answers that producers are going to need before they can turn it into an economically viable crop on their farms."
For now, growing hemp is strictly limited. The federal farm bill enacted this year restricts hemp production to research projects designated by agriculture departments in states that allow the crop to be grown. But commercial uses are also emerging.
Fifteen states have removed barriers to hemp production, according to Vote Hemp, a group that advocates for the plant's legal cultivation.
Licensed growers were able to secure seeds in three states — Kentucky, Colorado and Vermont — the group said, but difficulties in obtaining seeds limited production. According to Eric Steenstra, president of Vote Hemp, the biggest obstacle was gaining approval from the Drug Enforcement Administration to import hemp seeds for planting.
In Vermont, about 12 farms registered to grow hemp, said Alison Kosakowski, a spokeswoman for the state's Agency of Agriculture, Food, and Markets. The agency doesn't know how many producers ended up planting a hemp crop.
The intentions were much bigger in Colorado. There were 56 registrations for commercial hemp production and 76 more for research and development, according to Ron Carleton, the state's deputy agriculture commissioner.
Unavailability of seed likely kept "a fairly significant" number of applicants from getting hemp in the ground, he said. Some farmers able to produce a crop this year may harvest the seeds to grow next year's crop, he said.
In Kentucky, the crop is being studied by researchers at a half-dozen universities.
Eastern Kentucky University researchers recently harvested their small hemp plot. Those plants reached 7 feet tall.
"It seems to be fairly easy to grow," said EKU agriculture professor Bruce Pratt. "The plants got established so quickly that they shaded out the weeds."
A 2013 report by the Congressional Research Service pegged hemp imports at $11.5 million in 2011, a tiny sum relative to other imported crops.
If widespread U.S. production is someday allowed, states able to attract processors close to where the crop is grown will be the winners, said University of Kentucky agricultural economist Will Snell.
"It's a small, niche market, but it's growing," he said. "We can grow it. The problem is, other states and other countries can grow it as well."

5 signs Americans are flat-out broke

Despite improvement in certain areas of the economy, the Great Recession never truly ended for millions of Americans. Households across the nation are still trying to overcome a sluggish labor market, stagnant wages, and rising living costs. Making matters worse, the struggle does not appear to be ending anytime soon.
The Federal Reserve's wealth effect is in short supply. According to a new report from the central bank, 25% of American households say their families are "just getting by" financially, and another 13% are "finding it difficult to get by." Compared to five years earlier, 34% feel like they are worse off today, while the same number feel about the same. Only 30% report that they were somewhat or much better off financially. The survey polled more than 4,100 respondents between September and October last year.
"Many households in the United States have been tested by the Great Recession. Large-scale financial strain at the household level ultimately fed into broader economic challenges for the country, and the completion of the national recovery will ultimately be, in part, a reflection of the well-being of house- holds and consumers," explains the report.
Let's take a look at fives signs that Americans are broke and struggling in the current economic environment.
1. Higher education
The cost of obtaining a degree and the associated benefits are making some Americans think twice about the college experience. With soaring tuition prices that regularly outpace other forms of inflation, the days of a degree virtually guaranteeing material wealth early in life are over.
AMERICAN DREAM: Still alive and well?
DEBT: 10 states saddled with money woes
DEAR PARENTS: You need to teach kids about money
The University of Arizona released an update earlier this year on its study of a freshmen cohort group — dating back to 2007. More than half the participants — mostly graduates — reported relying on financial support from family to meet current financial demands. Nearly half of those respondents were employed full-time. In fact, as the chart above shows, only 49% of participants reported having full-time jobs after two years of graduation.
"Although a college education has historically been an indication of more career opportunities and higher income, launching a career today is a challenge even for college graduates (Shierholz et al., 2013). Many young adult cohorts who graduate college in weak national economies find themselves taking any job just to pay the bills and may be overqualified for the jobs they take (Kahn, 2010)," explains the report.
2. Cars
Americans have a long history of obsessing over automobiles, but that relationship may be running on fumes. The average auto loan term increased to sixty-six months during the first-quarter, according to Experian Automotive. That is the highest level since Experian began publicly reporting the data in 2006. Nearly 25% of all new vehicle loans originated during the quarter had terms extending out seventy-three months to eighty-four months, representing a 27.6% surge from a year earlier. The average amount financed for a new vehicle loan also reached an all-time high of $27,612.
"As the cost of purchasing a new vehicle continues to rise, consumers clearly are stretching the loan term to help lower monthly payments, keeping them at a manageable level," said Melinda Zabritski, Experian Automotive's senior director of automotive credit. "The benefit of a longer-term loan is the lower monthly payment; however, the flip side of that is consumers can find themselves paying more in interest or being upside-down on their loan if they seek to trade their vehicle in early."
The average monthly payment for a new vehicle loan also hit a record high of $474 in the first-quarter, driving more cash-strapped buyers to leases. Of all new vehicles financed, 30.2% were leased compared to 27.5% a year earlier.
3. Real estate
Home ownership has been a critical component of the American Dream for decades. However, affordability issues and the recent housing-bubble collapse are keeping many buyers on the sidelines.
Last month, the Census Bureau reported that the nation's homeownership rate during the second quarter dipped 0.3 percentage points to 64.7%, compared to 65% a year earlier. As the chart above shows, that is the lowest level in nineteen years. At the same time, national vacancy rates in the second quarter fell to 7.5% for rental housing, representing the lowest level since 1997. Rent prices are not rising as fast as home prices, but Trulia reports that rent prices rose 6.1% on a year-over-year basis in July — a sizable increase to those already struggling with their finances.
4. Savings
Saving money continues to be a losing battle for many Americans. Twenty-six percent of Americans do not have any money placed aside for emergencies, according to a new survey from Bankrate. In fact, 67% have saved less than six months' worth of expenses, and 50% have saved less than three months' expenses. Over the past year, the number of Americans with at least three months' expenses in savings declined from 45% to 40%.
Furthermore, the savings conundrum is not limited to only lower-income households. "Americans continue to show a stunning lack of progress in accumulating sufficient emergency savings," explains Greg McBride, CFA, Bankrate's Chief Financial Analyst, in a press release. "Even among the highest income households — those with annual income of $75,000 or above — fewer than half (46%) currently have a six-month savings cushion."
5. Wealth
A brutal combination of falling stock and home prices has decimated wealth gains over the past decade. Net worth at the 50th percentile (median) totaled $56,335 in 2013, down 36% from $87,992 in 2003, according to a recent report from the Russell Sage Foundation. In fact, the 90th and 95th percentiles were the only groups to report wealth gains between 2003 and 2013. Although, as the chart above shows, wealth inequality was increasing prior to the Great Recession.
"The American economy has experienced rising income and wealth inequality for several decades, and there is little evidence that these trends are likely to reverse in the near term," the report states. "It is possible that the very slow recovery from the Great Recession will continue to generate increased wealth inequality in the coming years as those hardest hit may still be drawing down the few assets they have left to cover current consumption and the housing market continues to grow at a modest pace."

WASHINGTON (AP) — Foreign buyers of U.S. Treasury securities increased their holdings in June, topping $6 trillion for the first time.

Total foreign holdings rose 0.6 percent to $6.01 trillion, up from $5.98 trillion in May, the Treasury Department said Friday in its monthly report.
The increase came despite the fact that the two biggest foreign owners of Treasury securities reduced their holdings slightly.
China, the top foreign buyer of U.S. Treasury debt, trimmed its holdings by 0.2 percent to $1.27 trillion after a 0.6 percent increase in May. Japan, the second-biggest foreign buyer, saw its holdings slip a slight $600 million to $1.22 trillion.
Belgium, Brazil and Taiwan were among the countries increasing their holdings.
Foreign central banks are big holders of U.S. Treasuries, which are viewed as one of the world's safest investments. In June, foreign government holdings of Treasury debt totaled $4.1 trillion, two-thirds of the total foreign holdings.
Foreign demand for Treasury debt is expected to remain strong this year, helped by a congressional agreement to avoid a new fight over the U.S. debt ceiling until March 2015.
A standoff in August 2011 rattled financial markets and the political gridlock led the credit rating firm Standard & Poor's to downgrade its AAA rating of U.S. debt for the first time in history.
London's TransferWise aims to disrupt banking

LONDON — The offices of TransferWise are standard-issue start-up funk. Large, open-plan work space. Ping-pong table and grub-filled kitchen. Even a sauna, a nod to its Estonian founders.
But there's little playing around going on here. Instead of fiddling with a mobile game or an e-commerce idea, the 3-year-old company is set on disrupting nothing less than banking's dominance of the money-transferring business by charging less and offering transparency to users.
"Banks are an interesting species," says co-founder Taavet Hinrikus, 33, who made his tech bones as the first employee hired by Skype. "They're outdated in how they deal with consumers. Think about all the revolutions going on in everything from aviation to music, but not in banking. We are different."
Veteran entrepreneurs-turned-investors agree. The latest chunks of TransferWise's $33 million in funding were provided by maverick businessman Richard Branson and PayPal co-founder Peter Thiel, in what is the first European investment of his San Francisco-based Valar Ventures.
The company has 112 employees, a third here in the East London hub known as Silicon Roundabout and the rest in the tech-savvy Estonian capital of Tallinn.
The U.S. is a huge market for us, and we are working on the various regulations to make sure that happens soon.
Taavet Hinrikus, co-founder TransferWise
Helping justify its reputation as one of this city's hottest stars in financial tech — or fintech — is news from TransferWise that so far it has shuttled $1.6 billion worth of currency around the world, saving consumers $75 million in bank fees.
Growth potential for TransferWise arguably is huge. An estimated $5 trillion to $10 trillion is sent internationally each year, "and that's just counting consumers and small- to medium-sized companies, not corporations," says Hinrikus. "Our share is therefore very small still, but we're growing at 20% a month."
The company charges a flat half-percent transfer fee, or $5 to send $1,000, and notably uses Reuters-published exchange rates. Banks often charge fees to send money and often use slightly less favorable exchange rates.
For everyone from students to freelancers to small companies, these savings can prove significant as they send modest sums of British pounds, Hungarian forint, Indian rupees or a dozen other currencies. At present, TransferWise provides the ability to send money to the U.S. but not out.
"The U.S. is a huge market for us, and we are working on the various regulations to make sure that happens soon," says Hinrikus, who is in charge of the company's marketing strategy, while his friend, co-founder and former management consultant Kristo Käärmann, 34, heads operations.
HOW IT WORKS
To simplify how it works: TransferWise keeps track of a rolling network of money transfers, matching them so that funds never actually leave their respective countries. Transactions are initiated by inputting bank or debit card information on the site or its mobile app.
But a better explanation comes from the company's origins story.
Some years back, both friends lived and worked in London. Hinrikus was paid in euros by Estonia's Skype. Käärmann was paid in British pounds, but had a mortgage to pay in euros back in Estonia. Both were tired of paying high bank fees for each monthly transaction.
Their solution: Every month, Käärmann put pounds in his friend's British bank account, while Hinrikus put euros in his buddy's Estonian account. No bank fees; bills paid.

"We had a feeling that we weren't the only people who could benefit from this arrangement," says Hinrikus. "We launched TransferWise, and in 15 minutes someone agreed to transfer a thousand British pounds. That told us something."
While the appeal is apparent to some, others take convincing. TransferWise consumer marketing chief Joe Cross says consumers call and e-mail the company "to see if we're legit. Many tell us, 'But my bank says the transfer is free,' so we have to caution them about hidden fees or inflated exchange rates."
Branding will get a boost when some of the company's latest millions get funneled into advertising buys. Says Cross: "Banks in general these days have a massive trust issue after the scandals of past years, so we think by being really transparent about our services there's a chance to transfer the power to consumers."
Hurdles for TransferWise could include countries with less than stable economies and currencies as well as keeping liquidity high in each country, says Wayne Wong, a fintech analyst with Venture Scanner. "It's fitting that a tech start-up is disrupting this sector."
Should banks be worried? "Yes and no," says Wong. "Yes because TransferWise provides real value to the consumer. No in that banks and companies such as Western Union have huge networks of physical branches that are helpful for people without Internet connections. So TransferWise might not be for everyone."
The concept instantly appealed to Stowe Boyd, lead analyst at Gigaom Research. After doing a short consulting call with a European company, he was faced with the challenge of getting his $170 fee without giving up 20% to various bank charges.
"You could say $30 isn't a big amount, but it's the principle here that we're talking about," says Boyd, who in a recent online essay about TransferWise likened the system to a tech version of the ancient Islamic Hawala method of transferring funds using a street-level network of brokers. "This is simply an industry ready for change."
Hinrikus used to repeat a saying that for a while found its way onto the TransferWise website: "Bye-bye banks." It was taken down after it led to more questions than answers from consumers. But his one-sentence pitch these days is easy to decipher.
"Today, sending money should be no harder than sending an e-mail," he says. "With any luck, my experience with Skype can help us build and scale TransferWise globally."
Not bad for an idea that blossomed from two friends just trying to pay their bills.

Russia sanctions will hurt German economy but needed - Vice Chancellor Reuters
BUDAPEST, Hungary (AP) — Hungary's prime minister said the West is "shooting itself in the foot" with inadequately thought through economic sanctions against Russia.
Prime Minister Viktor Orban said Friday that the European Union's sanctions policy needed to be reassessed and that Russia's response was hurting Hungary's export-based economy. Orban said he was looking for allies within the bloc to change the policy.
Hungary has warned that its agricultural sector will incur annual losses of 80 million euros ($107 million) as a result of Russia's retaliatory measures that ban food imports from those countries that have imposed sanctions. Orban said EU compensation was needed to cover the shortfall.
In January, Hungary signed a deal for Russia to build two reactors at the country's only nuclear power plant in the southern city of Paks. Russia will give Hungary a loan of up to 10 billion euros ($13.4 billion), or around 80 percent of construction costs.
Orban said a summit meeting between the EU and Russia was needed to discuss their future cooperation and long-term relationship on "strategic, economic and territorial issues." He also said his country "defends the territorial integrity of Ukraine and considers it necessary,"
Hungary was one of the fastest-growing economies in the EU during the second quarter, when it saw output increase by 0.8 percent on a quarterly basis.

Know risks of buying in-laws' home

Don't rely on expected government pension to pay for retirement
Social Security
A windfall can affect Social Security taxes and Medicare premiums. (Bradley C Bower, ASSOCIATED PRESS)
Consult a tax pro and an attorney who knows estate and elder law before buying relatives' home
Should couple buy cash-strapped relatives' home so the elders can stay in it until they die?
Dear Liz: My in-laws just informed us that they have gone through their retirement fund and soon won't be able to pay their mortgage. They borrowed against the house they've lived in for 30 years and currently owe $325,000. They are devastated, so I am trying to figure out the best way for them to stay in their house in their final years, as they are both 73. They have about $300,000 in equity but do not want to sell. They are willing to sell the house to my wife and me at their current balance. We would make the payments and they remain in the house. When they pass, the house would be ours. They looked into a reverse mortgage but this would cover only the payments, not taxes, insurance or maintenance. What is the best way to do this? Do I get a loan and purchase outright? Do I contact their bank and see if I can assume their loan? Do they quit-claim the home to my wife and me? My wife and I can afford to do this, but we want to make the right financial decision.

Answer: Before you do anything, please consult a tax professional and an attorney with experience in estate and elder law.
It's unlikely the lender will allow you to assume the loan, so you probably would need to set this up as a sale of the home with you and your wife obtaining a new mortgage.

But their plan to sell the house to you at a below-market value could create gift tax issues and could delay their eligibility for Medicaid, should they need help paying for nursing home care.
There are other risks to your in-laws. Your creditors could come after the home if you lose a lawsuit, for example. You could sell the home without their consent, and you would have a claim on the property if you and your wife split up.
Then there are the risks to you. You say you can afford to make the payments (and presumably pay the taxes, insurance and maintenance as well), but what happens if you lose a job or suffer another financial setback?
All of you need to understand the risks involved, and your alternatives, before proceeding.
A sale of the home or a reverse mortgage may well prove to be a better choice. A reverse mortgage wouldn't completely eliminate their home costs, but would substantially lower them — whoever winds up paying the bill.
Windfall effects not permanent
Dear Liz: I sold a rental property this year and will have a long-term capital gain of about $100,000. My normal income usually puts me in the 10% tax bracket and my Social Security is not taxed because my total income is under $25,000. I pay $104 per month for Medicare. Will the sale of the rental property count as income and make my Social Security benefits taxable? Will I suddenly be deemed "rich" enough to pay more in Medicare payments? If so, will the Medicare payments go back to normal because I will have total earnings under $25,000 after 2014? I am 66, single and by no means rich.
Answer: This windfall will affect your Social Security taxes and your Medicare premiums, but the changes aren't permanent.
The capital gain will be included in the calculation that determines whether and how much of your Social Security checks will be taxed, said Mark Luscombe, principal analyst for CCH Tax & Accounting North America. That will likely cause up to 85% of your Social Security benefit in 2014 to be taxable.
Your Medicare premiums are also likely to rise based on your higher modified adjusted gross income, said Jay Nawrocki, senior healthcare law analyst for Wolters Kluwer Law & Business. The income used to determine Medicare premiums is the modified adjusted gross income from two years earlier, so your premiums shouldn't increase until 2016. If your income reverts to normal in 2015, your premiums should also revert to normal in 2017, Nawrocki said.
The exact amount you'll pay can't be predicted, but people with modified adjusted gross incomes under $85,000 paid $104.90 per month in 2014. Those with MAGI of $85,000 to $107,000 paid $146.90, while those with MAGI of $107,000 to $160,000 paid $209.80. If your income for 2014 puts you in that last group, you should count on your premiums roughly doubling in 2016.
There is some good news. You'll qualify for the 0% capital gains rate on the portion of the gain that makes up the difference between your income and the top of the 15% tax bracket (which is $36,900 in 2014 for a single person). If your income is $24,000, for example, then $12,900 of your capital gain wouldn't be taxed by the federal government. The remaining $87,100 would be subject to the 15% federal capital gains rate. You may owe state and local taxes as well, so consult a tax pro.

Deere 3Q profit falls as equipment sales decline USA TODAY
(Reuters) - Deere & Co, the world's largest maker of farm equipment, said it would indefinitely lay off more than 600 employees at plants in Illinois, Iowa and Kansas as falling grain prices hurt demand for tractors, harvesters and other agricultural machinery.
The company reported a 5 percent drop in third-quarter sales on Wednesday and cut its full-year profit forecast.
Deere had about 67,000 full-time employees as of Oct. 31, 2013, of which about 33,900 were in the United States and Canada.
The layoffs are at plants in Moline and East Moline, Illinois; Ankeny, Iowa; and Coffeyville, Kansas.
Deere, whose shares were little changed at $84.90 in early trading on Friday, said it would also implement seasonal and inventory-adjustment shutdowns at the affected plants that would result in temporary layoffs.
The company operated 26 plants in the United States and Canada as of Oct. 31, of which 17 primarily make agriculture and turf equipment. Deere also makes construction and forestry equipment.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture has forecast record U.S. corn and soybean crops this year - a prospect that has sent prices plummeting and discouraged farmers from buying equipment.
Up to Thursday's close, Deere's stock had fallen 6 percent this year. It fell about 2 percent on Wednesday.

30 Years Ago Warren Buffett Gave Away The Secret To Good Investing And Correctly Predicted No One Would Listen

Warren Buffett.
In May 1984, Warren Buffett laid out everything you need to know about his investing philosophy.
In a speech at Columbia Business School, later adapted into an essay, Buffett introduced what he called, "The Superinvestors of Graham-and-Doddsville."
Buffett writes:
"The common intellectual theme of the investors from Graham-and-Doddsville is this: they search for discrepancies between the value of a business and the price of small pieces of that business in that market."
And that's pretty much it. Buffett doesn't think about buying a stock; he thinks about buying a business.

Benjamin Graham.
The name "Graham-and-Doddsville" comes from Benjamin Graham — whom Buffett studied under at Columbia — and Dave Dodd, with whom Graham literally wrote the book on security analysis.
In Buffett's essay, he asks readers to consider a group of investors who outperformed the S&P 500 year in and year out.
"In this group of successful investors that I want to consider," Buffett writes, "there has been a common intellectual patriarch, Ben Graham ... They have gone to different places and bought and sold different stocks and companies, yet they have a combined record that simply can't be explained by random chance."
Buffett explains that the investors of Graham-and-Doddsville don't care when they buy stocks, or worry about a stock's beta or the "covariance in returns among securities." He says these investors are businessmen buying pieces of businesses, not traders buying stocks.
And the strategy seems to be working out OK: On Thursday, Class A shares of Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway eclipsed $200,000 per share for the first time, and $1,000 invested with Buffett in 1984 would've been worth $155,301.
And since 1969, the book value of Berkshire Hathaway — which Buffett acquired in 1964 — has beaten the S&P 500 43 out of 44 years on a five-year rolling basis. Said more simply, the relative value of Berkshire Hathaway shares have been worth more than the S&P 500 collectively every year but one.
Not to mention that Buffett's personal wealth is estimated by Forbes to be more than $66 billion.
In July, we featured a chapter from Cullen Roche's new book, "Pragmatic Capitalism," which debunked the myth that "you too" can be like Buffett.
You can't, of course. But Roche's point isn't that Buffett's ideas about investing aren't sound, just misunderstood.
Many think Buffett was a simple "buy and hold" stock investor, but his investing is about way more than that — or way less, depending on how you look at it.
Buffett concludes his essay by writing that some may wonder why he is giving away this basic investment philosophy of a number of investors who have outperformed the market.
Isn't he just giving away the secret?
"I can only tell you that the secret has been out for 50 years," Buffett writes, "...yet I have seen no trend toward value investing in the 35 years I've practiced it. There seems to be some perverse human characteristic that likes to make easy things difficult. The academic world, if anything, has actually backed away from the teaching of value investing over the last 30 years. It's likely to stay that way. Ships will sail around the world but the Flat Earth Society will flourish. There will continue to be wide discrepancies between price and value in the marketplace, and those who read their Graham & Dodd will continue to prosper."
Indeed, all of the research continues to show that the vast majority of professional and retail investors are underperforming.

U.S. Investment Outflow Hits Record as China Cuts Holdings

The U.S. posted a record cross-border investment outflow in June as China and Japan reduced their holdings of Treasuries and private investors abroad sold bonds and notes.
The total net outflow of long-term U.S. securities and short-term funds such as bank transfers was $153.5 billion, after an inflow of $33.1 billion the previous month, the Treasury Department said in a report today. The June figure, and $40.8 billion in net selling of Treasury bonds and notes by private investors in June, were the largest on record, the Treasury said.
“Right at the beginning of June, you had a very strong sell-off of Treasuries and that’s what frightened a lot of private investors,” Gennadiy Goldberg, U.S. strategist at TD Securities USA LLC in New York, said by phone. “As yields stayed lower in subsequent months, some of the investors probably resumed their buying.”
China’s holdings of U.S. Treasuries declined by $2.5 billion to $1.27 trillion, while Japanese holdings dropped $600 million to $1.22 trillion, according to a Treasury report today.
China and Japan’s combined share of total foreign holdings of Treasuries has declined since 2004. It dropped to 41.4 percent in June from 50.9 percent in August 2004, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Belgian Holdings
Meanwhile, holdings in Belgium climbed $1.7 billion last month to $364.1 billion, the report showed. As home to Euroclear Bank SA, a provider of securities settlements for foreign lenders, Belgium probably serves as a custodial holder for many countries, including China, said Jeffrey Young, an interest-rate strategist at Nomura Holdings Inc. in New York.
Private investors and government holders combined were net sellers of $20.8 billion in Treasury notes and bonds in June, the biggest monthly net sales in a year, according to the report.
Treasuries declined in June amid improving economic data, and as reports released that month, from unit labor costs to consumer prices, indicated inflation pressures beginning to build within the economy. Labor Department data released June 17 showed the consumer price index for May unexpectedly rose to 2.1 percent, the highest since October 2012.
Treasuries were bolstered and yields began to decline after Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen described the inflation data as “noisy” and stressed the economy’s need for continued accommodation at her June 18 press conference. That followed a meeting at which policy makers held the benchmark interest rate near zero, as they have since December 2008.
Yields Fall
Thirty-year bond (BUSY) yields fell seven basis points, or 0.07 percentage point, to 3.12 percent at 11:01 a.m. in New York, according to Bloomberg Bond Trader data.
Investors in Treasuries lost 0.1 percent in June, according to Bloomberg World Bond Indexes. The Bloomberg U.S. Dollar Index, a gauge of the greenback’s value against 10 major currencies weighted by liquidity and trade flows, lost 0.7 percent in June.

Scaredy-cat consumers, housing stall, Yellen in Jackson Hole: The week ahead
By Deirdre Hughes August 15, 2014 5:30 PM Yahoo Finance
Stock prices fell and oil prices rose Friday after reports that Ukrainian forces attacked a Russian convoy in Ukraine. Fresh concern about geopolitical tensions canceled out earlier gains for stocks, which ended the day mixed after paring much of the earlier steep losses. Before the reports from Ukraine, stocks were higher on signs the economy is improving, but not too quickly. Producer prices rose 0.1% in July, slightly less than the 0.2% economists expected. Consumer confidence, however, missed expectations, according to the Thomson Reuters/University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment Index for August.
‘Consumers are afraid’
Consumers will be in focus in the coming week after the Commerce Department reported retail sales nationwide were flat for the month of July, and Walmart (WMT) and JC Penney (JCP) turned in lackluster results.
Some big-name discount retailers are slated to report quarterly results in the coming week as well. Dollar Tree (DLTR) reports on Thursday. The company just agreed to buy rival Family Dollar Stores (FDO) for $8.5 billion. The combined company would be slightly larger than Dollar General (DG), another rival some say could be a possible bidder for Family Dollar.
One analyst said Walmart's decision not to buy Family Dollar was “the first major failure” of Walmart President and Chief Executive Doug McMillon’s administration. Dollar stores, in general, have been hard hit by the economy, with their bread-and-butter customer seeing slow wage growth and cuts to food stamp programs.
Fellow discounters Target (TGT) and TJX Corporation (TJX) are also slated to report results in the week ahead, as is The Gap (GPS). The company revised its guidance higher this week after a couple of disappointing quarters.
Yahoo Finance’s Milanee Kapadia says it’s all about consumer confidence: “Consumers are still afraid to open up their wallets after a difficult winter.”
Americans not spending on housing
It's not just retailers feeling the sting of a more conservative consumer. New reports this week reveal consumers are also reluctant to spend on housing.
Mortgage borrowing is at a 14-year low. Mortgage applications are at a 6-month low and refinancing activity is at its lowest level since 2008. That lack of activity may come as a surprise considering that mortgage rates are near their lows for the year. Freddie Mac said Thursday the nationwide average for a 30-year mortgage rate fell to 4.12% from 4.14% the previous week. So far, though, those low rates are not adding up to new activity in the housing market.
“Americans are borrowing more for student loans and autos and credit cards, but not for housing,” says Yahoo Finance Editor-in-Chief Aaron Task. “We’ve had this big drop in rates... the question is: Is that going to spur more activity in the housing market? To date, it hasn’t done it.”
Among the housing reports on tap this week: Housing starts on Tuesday and existing home sales Thursday.
A pair of earnings reports will provide a glimpse into the consumer's state of mind where the housing market is concerned. Home Depot (HD) and Lowe’s (LOW) both report in the week ahead. Task says those results will provide some “sense of the psychology of the American consumer.”
When Yellen speaks
Housing is one sector of the economy that Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen has highlighted as an area of concern, based on the slow pace of the recovery in the housing market.
The other is the job market, and that will be the theme of the Kansas City Federal Reserve’s annual economic conference in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, where Yellen will deliver the keynote address.
The health of the labor market will be a critical factor in determining when the Fed will begin to raise interest rates. Persistently high levels of long-term unemployment and the persistently low rate of labor force participation will be two of the factors the Fed governors will have to consider.
Yahoo Finance Senior Columnist Michael Santoli says Yellen will have to address those questions. “Nobody really thinks there’s going to be a very strident policy message coming out of here from Janet Yellen,” he said. “But she’s probably going to have to characterize whether she thinks the job market has really got a head of steam behind it and wage inflation is on the horizon or if she thinks it’s still early days.”
Santoli thinks Yellen will have a reassuring message. “The question is: Is it already baked into the market?"
'He could move the markets'
Also on tap to speak at the conference is European Central Bank president Mario Draghi. His speech will be closely watched after he warned earlier this month that the dual crises in Ukraine and the Middle East pose a “heightened” threat to economic growth in Europe.
The ECB held rates steady for a second-straight month, but Draghi acknowledged that European economic momentum had slowed and new geopolitical tensions would only do more harm.
Task says Wall Street will be watching Draghi’s speech closely: “He can move markets.”

Fortitude Group, Inc. Receives Initial VaporVites Order
ERIE, PA, Apr 08, 2014 (Marketwired via COMTEX) -- Fortitude Group, Inc. (OTC: FRTD) receives an initial order of 5,000 VaporVites.
The initial 5,000 unit order was received from a Colorado dispensary with 4 stores. Fortitude's cost to manufacture each VaporVites unit is $29.00. The wholesale cost to the dispensary is $89 or a profit per unit of $60.00 representing $300,000.00 profit for this initial order. Under the terms of the agreement, the dispensary paid a 25% deposit for the initial order with the balance to be paid upon product delivery. The estimated delivery time to the dispensary is April 20, 2014. The dispensary has an option to purchase an additional 25,000 units within the next 3 months at a 10% discounted wholesale price or $80.10 per unit.
Thomas J. Parilla, CEO of Fortitude, stated, "We are pleased to begin selling the VaporVites product while reflecting this product revenue on our income statement. The distribution of the VaporVites e-cig product line has immediately produced revenue for the company at minimal hard cost or capital outlay. Our goal is to wholesale a minimum of 250,000 VaporVites units in the remainder of 2014. Based on our preliminary case test study, we are confident that we will achieve, if not exceed, this goal. At our $60.00 wholesale profit per unit, we should derive roughly $15 million in 2014 from the VaporVites initiative or an additional $.0187 per share."
In further corporate development, the company has begun its previously announced share buyback of restricted common shares from Fortitude shareholders who requested information from http://www.FRTDbuyback.com. The company intends to retire to treasury approximately 180 million restricted shares this coming quarter.

The company is continuing to expand its high revenue/low cost product initiatives and will announce them to the public as they are ready to go to market.
Management for the company has confirmed that no new shares have come off restriction since the company's last filing and no notes or convertible debentures have been issued by the company.

Fortitude Group, Inc. Provides Stock Repurchase Plan Update
ERIE, PA--(Marketwired - Mar 26, 2014) - Fortitude Group, Inc. (OTC: FRTD) is pleased to provide an update to its previously announced Stock Repurchase Plan.
On February 25, 2014, the Board of Directors resolved the repurchase of up to 100,000,000 Class A common shares of the Company. On March 26, 2014, the Board of Directors agreed to increase the allotted number of shares in the Stock Repurchase Plan from 100,000,000 to 250,000,000 (which can be purchased over the next 365-days). The Resolution delivers additional increases to the amount of shares in the Stock Repurchase Plan if new revenue substantiates the increase. The Company has completed all required account formation documents to begin this repurchase effective immediately.
Over the next month, the Company intends to repurchase approximately 60,000,000 shares through various open market purchases along with the repurchase of an additional 40,000,000 restricted shares in privately negotiated transactions. Each subsequent month, purchase denominations will be evaluated case by case and be based on specific market conditions and actual derived revenue.
On March 27, 2014, the Company is launching http://www.FRTDBuyBack.com to assist shareholders who currently own restricted shares of Fortitude and would like to enter into confidential negotiations with the Company to sell their shares back to the Company and retire the shares to treasury.
"We are pleased to begin this Stock Repurchase Plan. Upon completion, this plan should retire approximately 27% of our issued and outstanding stock, unless additional increases to the plan are implemented by our Board. As our revenue increases, we will continue to repurchase shares and retire them to treasury. The company has NO convertible debt, NO off-balance sheet arrangements and NO toxic debt/financing agreements, which means this buyback should reward our shareholders with an increase in our share price," stated Thomas J. Parilla CEO of Fortitude Group, Inc.

DALLAS, TX--(Marketwired - Apr 5, 2013) - JC Data Solutions (PINKSHEETS: JCDS) is a provider of innovative and cost-effective solutions for digital data processing and management focusing on the Oil & Gas, Legal and Healthcare industries.
JC Data's Payment Manager services continue to grow; processing several thousand transactions and several million dollars' worth of distributions per month. We have experienced a 20% growth in processing since the beginning of this year alone. And now, after almost two years of planning and design, Payment Manager will make its debut into the state and federal oil and gas land leasing market at the end of April.
Through Aeris Solutions, LLC (50% owned by JC Data Solutions) and Info Tech, Inc.'s Bid Express online system, bid funds for oil and gas land leases will be managed by us throughout the bid process. Bidding companies will sign with Payment Manager to process their bid funds utilizing our unique system which keeps their cash from being tied up in cashier's checks, money orders or surety bonds. This new process eliminates the need for paper, making the complete bid process more economical for both the government agencies and the bidder. We are currently testing in-house but expect live testing over the next few weeks with several states' agencies.
Appeal Manager™, unique to the healthcare market and designed to collect on denied or partial paid claims, was kicked off in late January 2013, but delayed due to a change in the outside sales force. It was back up and running by the end of March 2013 with salespeople in Dallas, Houston, Phoenix, Denver, Atlanta, Louisville, and Raleigh. Contracts for the Appeal Manager™ services are already closing and we continue to increase this sales force each week.
JC Data Solutions has hired a new transfer agent, Corporate Stock Transfer, Inc. in Denver Colorado. Their experience with companies our size will be a great asset in managing our stock and stock holders.
"We are very busy with JC Data and its two new companies. We have hired a project manager for our Appeal Manager™ product to handle sales and training. Regarding the stock, we have not sold stock into the market for several years now and we don't plan to for some time. Our intentions are to grow the company and have that in turn increase the value of the stock. Our plan is still to show unaudited financials after our fiscal year end, June 2013," says Cary Allen, CEO JC Data Solutions, Inc.

PLPL had some pre-market press out this morning.
Plandaí Biotechnology, Inc., (OTCBB:PLPL) a producer of highly bioavailable plant extracts, today discussed the advantages of its proprietary green tea gallate catechin extract, Phytofare™ for treating a broad spectrum of parasitic and bacterial infections, specifically targeting blood stages of the malaria parasite, plasmodium falciparum. Malaria claimed the lives of 655,000 people, mainly children, in 2010, according to the World Health Organization.
While recent studies have confirmed the effectiveness of green tea as a glucose inhibitor in laboratory studies, the transition to in vivo results have been hindered by the low oral bioavailability of its polyphenolic catechins. Moreover, absorbed green tea catechins are known to undergo rapid and extensive metabolic transformations. As a result, while lab results using green tea catechins have been overwhelmingly positive, duplicating these results in human studies have faced challenges. The studies conclude that eight fold higher concentrations of green tea gallate catechin (EGCG) were found necessary to show induced lethal effects on the malarial sporozoites—a clinical dose that would require an enormous daily consumption of green tea.
Plandaí Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Roger Duffield, commented, "The proprietary process employed by Plandaí to extract green tea catechins results in a product with six to eight times greater bioavailability than traditional extracts, with the opportunity to be modified specifically to combat a variety of infectious diseases. Essentially, we engineer our extracts for maximum absorption by human tissues and targeted to specific infections."
Artemesinin, long regarded as the "gold standard" for treating malaria has, up to now, been almost 100 per cent effective. However, resistance to it was first detected in western Cambodia in 2009, but has now spread 800km to the west. Experts are alarmed because, twice before, resistance to the then gold standard anti-malarial drugs – chloroquine and sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine – has started in the same region before spreading to South-east Asia and Africa, leading to the deaths of millions of children. Experts described the development as "very worrying indeed" and warned the effects could be "devastating".
Phytofare™ promises to be a safe, natural, and inexpensive option for preventing malaria by inhibiting the parasite's ability to uptake glucose, essentially killing the parasite by starvation.

Research In Motion Ordered To Pay $147.2 Million In Patent Suit
Research In Motion has been ordered to pay $147.2 million damages in a patent infringement litigation suit filed in federal court in the Northern District of California by Mformation Technologies, the company has announced.
According to Bloomberg, Mformation, an Edison, New Jersey-based company which sells mobile-device management software, had asserted that it disclosed details of its software to RIM during licensing discussions, but that instead of seeking a license, RIM simply modified its own software to include Mformation’s technology.
The verdict was issued late Friday.
The award consists of $8 for each of 18.4 million units sold in the U.S. to non-government customers. An attorney for Mformation said that damages for future sales outside the U.S. and for government customers could increase the total amount RIM has to pay by 2-3x.
RIM is seeking to reverse the verdict. In a statement, the company said that “RIM is disappointed by the outcome and is evaluating all legal options. Additionally, the trial judge has yet to decide certain legal issues that might impact the verdict. RIM will await those rulings before deciding whether to pursue an appeal.”
RIMM this morning is down 9 cents, or 1.2%, to $7.16.
