Remember Warren Buffett's First Rule of
Investing When Planning for Retirement
Warren Buffett's first rule of investing is "don't lose money."
His second rule is "don't forget rule number one."
In a rather odd whitepaper on retirement planning titled "Risk: How Much is Enough,"
the financial services firm UBS lays-out a road map of sorts for "moving forward" with
retirement planning "in a changed world."
What seems clear is that the primary catalyst for the whitepaper is the fact that many
financial advisors ignore or forget Buffett's first rule of investing when it comes to
retirement planning.

Who is the world’s number one inside trader?
WASHINGTON — Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke
has a complex job manning the world's largest economy, but
when it comes to his own finances he keeps it pretty simple.
The Fed chief's largest assets last year were two annuities —
TIAA (Fixed Indexed) and CREF Stock (Variable), which were
each valued at between $500,001 to $1,000,000.
The chairman's financial disclosure form, released Tuesday, showed that Bernanke is a
millionaire, with holdings last year in no-frills investments, including U.S. Treasury
securities, mutual funds and annuities.
Bernanke, 53, took over the central bank in February 2006, succeeding longtime
chairman Alan Greenspan, who also played it safe when it came to his own
investments while at the Fed.
An economist who spent most of his career in academia, including teaching at
Princeton, Bernanke also is receiving royalties on two textbooks he wrote. Royalty
income was listed at between $50,001 and $100,000 for each textbook, the document
showed. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,291572,00.html
