I have a portfolio worth $300,000.What can I do to make sure I will have something left for my retirement?

Hard to answer without knowing your age, income, other retirement vehicles ...,

In general, make sure that you are out of debt or as close to debt free as possible. Also make sure that you are living on a budget. Your goal should be to live on less than you make and systematically invest in your retirement. Your personal financial behavior is more important than picking the most "trendy" investment strategy of the day.

A balance of fixed income investments and some stock based mutual funds is a good option for most people. Make sure you understand how any investments you choose work. If you don't understand an investment strategy - don't do it. I would also run from anyone who tries to sell you some sort of insurance product as an investment.

Hope this helps.

How much do you want to make sure you have left?

If you want to make sure you have $300,000 or more left I would recommend some government bonds.

If you only need some left then you can invest more aggressively. You should consult a financial advisor to get recommendations for your specific situation.

invest it in real estate or stock market and diversify at 3% interest you will never have enough

What did you do to get the $300,000 in the first place? What makes you want to change your strategy now? Find an advisor who listens.

If you are retiring and you want to create an income stream from the $300,000, there are a number of different ways to accomplish this goal. A qualified advisor will help you look at a few of the options best suited to your situation and goals.

Not nearly enough information to give a meaningful answer. Talk to someone.

There is definitely not enough info in your question. However, I'll attempt to answer anyway.

If you were to retire today, you should be able to have at least a $180,000/year income if you invested conservatively in options using a strategy such as the "strangle". This is based on a very modest 5%/month return, which is very easy to acheive. When you have traded the strategy long enough, many people can make 20% or more per month. But don't start with that expectation. Also, never invest more than 25% of your portfolio in any position at one time. That gives you room to adjust your investment as the market moves.

Do some research by reading a book such as Options Made Easy: Your Guide to Profitable Trading (2nd Edition) by Guy Cohen (Jul 18, 2005)
ISBN 0131871358


Good luck!

You could open a brokerage account at E*Trade and invest in Stocks in Canada, France, United Kingdom, Germany, Hong Kong and Japan and that will protect you against the falling USD.

If you pick the right stocks then you will be protected against inflation.

The trick is to pick stocks increasing more than inflation and that's where I come in. (I am a Portfolio Manager)
