Doc Eifrig: These investors are making a terrible mistake right now… Don’t be one of them

From Dr. David Eifrig in Retirement Millionaire:
If Treasury bonds are such a terrible deal… why would so many investors load up on them?

The simple answer is fear and how our bodies’ natural reaction to stress can be fatal to our investments.

One of the hardest parts about investing is realizing how powerful your brain is… and how our primal impulses work against our best interests and limit what’s possible.

Doc Eifrig: A super-healthy food you should eat everyday

From Dr. David Eifrig in Retirement Millionaire:

If you’ve ever opened a yogurt container and been tempted to pour off the liquid swishing around on top, don’t. That liquid is swimming with millions of bacteria that provide yogurt’s key benefit.

Anthony Gucciardi
Natural Society
February 10, 2012

The stated mission of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is to protect and promote public health through the regulation of everything from food products to pharmaceutical drugs.

This could be Doc Eifrig’s most surprising retirement advice

From Dr. David Eifrig in Retirement Millionaire:

When I first started Retirement Millionaire, one of my first pieces of advice was to never retire.

People who retire at age 55 die twice as fast as those who keep working. And people who keep working can have more confidence that they won’t go broke in retirement.

But that doesn’t mean you should spend your life chained to a desk and a computer. Retirement Millionaire subscriber Wayne [...]

But what about water? The standard in the medical world is to tell people to drink up to 64 ounces of water per day. The rule of thumb is eight eight-ounce glasses per day. However, I wrote several years back how the history of the 64-ounces-a-day recommendation stemmed [...]

Doc Eifrig: Another big reason to boycott the TSA’s dangerous scanners immediately

From Dr. David Eifrig in Retirement Millionaire:

The backlash against the Transportation Safety Administration (TSA) over body scanners continues. Many readers know I refuse to go through the new airport scanners.
