It is up to individuals to invest wisely short and long term in order to make up for the short fall if he or she would like to live comfortably after retirement without giving up some retirement plans. Because of low interest rate environment, unlike the generations before them, they know that fixed income investments are no longer provide enough incomes for their financial needs.In this article, we will discuss the baby boomers and equity investments. The equity investment that has out-performed all others by at least 6.5%—against cash, bonds, and inflation—over the past 50 years.In fact, many financial analysts believe the rule of thumb for the best asset mix in wealth accumulation to be 60% in stocks and 40% in bonds.


1. You are allowed to hold the equity investment securities such as Publicly traded stocks, bonds, mutual funds, stocks and term certificates,etc.In your RRSP, 401k and IRA account. In addition, you may also choose to purchase income annuities when you reach the age to roll over your RRSP, 401K and IRA account.
