The 4% Rule is a practical rule of thumb that may be used by retirees to decide how much they should withdraw from their retirement funds each year; according to Investopedia.

READ: https://www.investopedia.com/terms/f/four-percent-rule.asp#:~:text=The%20Four%20Percent%20Rule%20is%20a%20rule%20of,account%20balance%20that%20keeps%20income%20flowing%20through%20retirement.

The purpose of adopting the rule is to keep a steady income stream while maintaining an adequate overall account balance for future years. The withdrawals will consist primarily of interest and dividends on savings.

CHALLENGE: But, experts like Mike Kitces are divided on whether the 4% withdrawal rate is the best option. Many, including the creator of the rule, say that 5% is a better rule for all but the worst-case scenario.

DOW THEORY: Explained

Posted on August 1, 2023 by Dr. David Edward Marcinko MBA

What is the Dow Theory?

By Staff Reporters

Pioneered by Charles H. Dow, one of the founders of The Wall Street Journal and Dow Jones & Co., and the publisher of MarketWatch, the theory states that if two stock-market averages, most commonly the Dow industrials and transport gauges, reach notable new highs within the same short period, then the broader market is likely headed higher.

It also was one of the first theories that sought to codify a methodology for prognosticating where the market might be headed in the intermediate future. For more than a century, it’s been a staple in the repertoire of technical strategists, who aim to glean insights through analysis of stock-market charts and indicators.

CITE: https://www.r2library.com/Resource

Dow Theory has lost some of its luster in modern times, especially as the Dow has taken a backseat in recent years to the S&P 500 and high flying tech-heavy indexes like the NASDAQ Composite and NASDAQ-100 critics also have lambasted it as overly simplistic.

But proponents of the technical Dow Theory can still point to a wealth of historical data showing it generally works as a buy signal, especially if its broadened to include other indexes like the now-dominant S&P 500.

CMS: Proposes Fee Schedule Payment Cuts to Doctors

Posted on August 1, 2023 by Dr. David Edward Marcinko MBA

According to Paige Minemyer of Fierce Healthcare, the Joe Biden administration is proposing cuts to physician payments in its annual fee schedule, and doctors are not happy. Major industry groups have roundly called for Congress to step in to prevent the Medicare reimbursement changes from going through. Last week, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) proposed a 3.34% cut to the fee schedule’s conversion factor, which is used to calculate Medicare payouts to docs.

In a statement, the American Medical Group Association (AMGA) said that Medicare payments already fail to keep up with “the increasing cost of delivering healthcare,” and further cuts would only exacerbate that problem. “AMGA members cannot absorb this proposed payment cut,” said AMGA President and CEO Jerry Penso, MD.

“Their expenses are continuing to increase, and Congress needs to act to ensure Medicare’s reimbursement reflects the cost of delivering high-quality care to patients.”
