Stacks of US cash - Investment Secrets You Don't Know

Would you like to know how the SUPER WEALTHY invest their money?


Don’t miss this important episode. Build wealth faster, retire more securely, and learn what others don’t know about investing

Tom Phelan (“Fay-len”) Is the controversial author of numerous best-selling books:

  • “The Reluctant Realtor Who Won’t Buy Investment Property©2021”
  • “A Teacher’s 403(b) – Why Is Real Estate Missing©2021”
  • “The Big IRA Gamble” and “401(k) Roulette ©2020”

Tom says estimates show 45 million people have invested $11 trillion dollars in IRAs and another 30 million 401(k)s Owners are gambling $8 trillion dollars in Wall Street. Wow, Wall Street “Fees” are almost incalculable on $18 trillion dollars with hundreds of billions being added annually.

From years of experience Tom believed far too many IRA and 401(k) Owners are apathetic about their Wall Street investments, a fact Wall Street counts on … a lack-of-personal involvement.

But there is hope Tom says, if people will listen and choose Wall Street alternatives to avoid the needless Risk of IRA and 401(k) funds. Armed with this new-found knowledge Tom will show people how to strategize how to retire years younger and with more retirement income dollars, possibly Tax Free Income dollars.

Oh and if you’ve ever had a dream of owning a vineyard in Argentina, Tom has a few 5-acre Boutique Malbec vineyards your IRA or Individual 401(k) can buy…no…he really does.

He says he has the solution for investing, living, and retirement, but only those who will step off their Hamster Wheel and listen.
