Baby Boomer Stocks: Subsidizing Your Retirement and Social Security by Ann Sosnowski, Editor, Diligent Investor Well it’s official: The first baby boomer in America has filed for Social Security. Her name is Kathleen Casey-Kirschling, a former teacher from New Jersey. She was born one minute after midnight on January 1, 1946. And in modern fashion, she applied for Social Security over the Internet. One down, more than 76 million to go. If Social Security is left the way it is, without privatization or any of the other motley plans politicians have for it, the system will go broke by the year 2041. Over the next two decades, 10,000 people a day will become eligible to receive Social Security benefits. This just reinforces two important points: It’s important right now for health companies to do whatever they can to deal with the conditions and diseases attributed to aging. And it’s crucial for you to subsidize your Social Security and retirement income with gains from good, solid stock ideas and recommendations. In Diligent Investor, I take care of this in one simple way: by picking medical technology companies that will help the aging populace as well as help you build your wealth.

"Secret IPO Registry" Projected to Go From $14 up to $90 A remarkable new opportunity has just become available to individual investors. In short, you can own the biggest IPO winners (like MasterCard and Riverbed Technology) while avoiding the IPO “stinkers” (like Vonage), all with one simple and stress-free $14 investment. It’s called the “Secret IPO Registry,” and never before has a single investment allowed you to profit off the best new companies on Wall Street without the risk or the hassle of “getting in” on each new IPO offering. Follow this link for the full details.

If you’re a baby boomer or older, looking to add income to your retirement through stocks, you’ve done well with Diligent Investor this year. In the third quarter alone, ending September, subscribers were able to make cumulative gains of 466%, with average gains of 29% on each position. For the year, you could’ve made cumulative gains of 1,197% with average gains of 28%. That already breaks the 1,000% goal I set out for the year of 2007. Best of all, the medical technology stocks that capitalize on helping the ailments of the baby-boomer generation are doing fairly well. Right now, we are holding a company that specializes in using a laser developed during the Cold War to rid vascular blockages for arteries, more often than not in the lower legs of aging patients. This condition of blocked arteries in the legs is called peripheral arterial disease, or PAD, and affects at least 8 million people in the country. This company, currently showing us gains of 16%, is still quite undervalued at $15. Over the next even five years, I see it moving to $60 per share. Another stock in our Diligent Investor portfolio geared toward the baby boomers is a hearing aid company. In fact, it’s already giving some of our longer-held positions a run for its money, with gains of 24% after only two months of hold time. This company has patented digital hearing aid technology that makes it a leader in the hearing aid industry. It’s one of our lowest priced boomer stocks, still a steal under $10 per share. In addition to these two companies, we have two other boomer positions in Diligent Investor: one that deals with medical systems, and one that deals with eyeglasses. If you’re looking to supplement your retirement, and put away some money for that rainy day when Social Security may not be available, I’d beat Kathleen Casey-Kirschling to the punch.
