Author Growing Number of People Using Solo 401(k) Plan Loan To Pay Off Credit Card Debt, According To IRA Financial Group Survey
New York, NY (PRWEB) March 24, 2015
IRA Financial Group, the leading provider of self-directed solo 401(k) plans for self-employed and small business owners with no full-time employees, announces the results of its internal survey which showed a large number of people looking to use the solo 401(k) plan loan feature as a means for paying off their credit card debt.
“Due to very high interest rates surrounding most credit card debt and the heavy financial burden it has on the individuals, more people are turning to the solo 401(k) plan loan feature as a way of paying off the credit card debt with a lower interest rate, “ stated Susan Glass, a tax specialist with the IRA Financial Group. “People are so excited when they lean that they can access up to $ 50,000 tax-free and penalty free from their 401(k) plan and use the solo 401(k) plan loan as a way of replace a high interest rate credit card loan with a low interest rate solo 401(k) plan loan, “ stated Ms. Glass. “The best part of the solo 401(k) plan loan is that you can get tax-free and penalty free access to your retirement funds and use them to pay off the credit card debt and at the same time pay your plan back, which in-turn increases the value of the loan, “ stated Ms. Glass.
Internal Revenue Code Section 72(p) allows a Solo 401K Plan participant to take a loan from his or her 401K Plan so as long as it is permitted pursuant to the business’s 401K Plan documents.
A solo 401k loan is permitted at any time using the accumulated balance of the solo 401k as collateral for the loan. A Solo 401(k) participant can borrow up to either $ 50,000 or 50% of their account value – whichever is less. This loan has to be repaid over an amortization schedule of 5 years or less with payment frequency no less than quarterly. The lowest interest rate that can be used is Prime as per the Wall Street Journal, which is currently 3.25%.
With IRA Financial Group’s Solo 401K plan loan feature, a self-employed individual or small business owner with no employees can borrow up to $ 50,000 tax-free and penalty free and use those funds to pay off student loan debt. There are no penalties or taxes due provided loan payments are paid on time. “The Solo 401(k) Plan loan has proved to be an appealing financing option to paying off high interest rate credit card debt and secure cheaper self- financing”, stated Ms. Glass.
IRA Financial Group’s Solo 401k Plan documents will allow a self-employed individual to use a loan from your Solo 401k for any purpose, including paying off debt, such as a mortgage, personal loan, or student debt. “In 2015, we have already helped hundreds of individuals use the Solo 401(k) Plan loan feature as a way to access at least $ 50,000 of retirement funds without tax or penalty to use for any purpose, including for use in paying off personal debt, such as credit card and student loans, “ stated Adam Bergman, a tax partner with the IRA Financial Group.
The IRA Financial Group was founded by a group of top law firm tax and ERISA lawyers who have worked at some of the largest law firms in the United States, such as White & Case LLP, Dewey & LeBoeuf LLP, and Thelen LLP.
IRA Financial Group is the leading provider of Solo 401(k) Plan solutions. IRA Financial Group has helped thousands of clients take back control over their retirement funds while gaining the ability to invest in almost any type of investment, including real estate and private business investments without custodian consent.

Rise in Supertall Construction Projects Drives Growth in the Global Obstruction Lighting Market, According to New Report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc.
San Jose, California (PRWEB) January 13, 2015
Follow us on LinkedIn -Obstruction lights, also known as aviation lights, are lights that indicate the existence of obstacles in the aircraft flight path. Obstruction lights form an integral part of aviation lighting designed to assist pilots in navigating, especially during nights and bad weather conditions. Growth in the market is expected to remain steady driven by stringent air safety norms, and rise in the construction of tall structures such as skyscrapers, telecom/broadcast towers, and wind turbines, among others. The market also stands to gain from replacement of traditional incandescent fixtures with energy efficient LED obstruction lights.
Of special note is the rapid proliferation of telecommunication infrastructure against a backdrop of expanding mobile subscriber base and deployment of 4G networks. Installation of rooftop cellular towers is therefore increasing as mobile network operators seek to improve connectivity and quality of service. Strong growth in cable TV, satellite TV and DTTV is spurring media investments in broadcast towers, thus creating increased need for obstruction lighting solutions. Wind turbine installations as part of the government focus on sustainable energy are helping expand the need for safety lights. This is largely because wind turbines, which are often installed on hilltops and high-altitude mountainous terrains, present a potential threat to low flying aircraft. Also driving the need for obstruction lighting is the increase in low-flying helicopter operations owing to increased use of helicopters by law enforcement and emergency medical service agencies.
Given the growing emphasis on energy efficiency and cost reduction, manufacturers are focusing on the development of compact, power saving LED lights with superior aerial visibility in all weather conditions. Constantly evolving LED lumen efficiency and chip performance, and rising government incentives for improved energy efficiency standards, are key factors supporting the growth of LED obstruction lighting.
As stated by the new market research report on Obstruction Lighting, the United States represents the single largest market worldwide. Asia-Pacific ranks as the fastest growing market with a CAGR of 7.8% over the analysis period.
Major players covered in the report include BTI Light Systems A/S, Carmanah Technologies Corporation, Hughey & Phillips LLC, Dialight plc, Orga Aviation BV, Flash Technology, International Tower Lighting LLC, TWR Lighting Inc., and Ceravision Limited among others.

Mortgage Insurance is a Way of Providing Less for More According to YourLifeSolution.com
Chicago, IL (PRWEB) November 02, 2014
YourLifeSolution.com, a service which allows consumers to compare and purchase life insurance electronically, is today alerting consumers of how mortgage insurance generally doesn’t provide as much value as life insurance for the same price.
According to YourLifeSolution.com, mortgage insurance is a form of life insurance in which the death benefit decreases with the remaining balance of a mortgage, but with life insurance, the death benefit is typically arranged to either grow or stay fixed. “Mortgage insurance is great for the bank, great for the insurer, and pretty mediocre for the customer. Overall, it’s much better to just buy traditional life insurance. Yes, it’s entirely likely that you won’t need the entire death benefit in the end, but nevertheless, it’s far more cost effective to just have a fixed death benefit life insurance policy,” said Eric Smith, the founder and independent life insurance agent of YourLifeSolution.com.
YourLifeSolution.com states that not only in their opinion is mortgage life insurance, otherwise known as decreasing term life insurance, an advantageous product, but that they have never placed a single policy that follows this scheme.
YourLifeSolution.com invites all adults to view their own life insurance rates online within the site’s homepage. Consumers can also get information by phone directly from Eric Smith by dialing 888.374.2764.

Growing Popularity of Soundbars & Wireless Speakers Drive the Global Loudspeakers Market, According to New Report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc.
San Jose, California (PRWEB) June 13, 2013
Follow us on LinkedIn – As a component of music systems, loudspeakers assume significant importance as the quality of the sound reproduced depends on the technological sophistication of the speaker system. Demand for loudspeakers primarily depends on consumer spending on audio entertainment devices. Penetration levels of audio equipment such as DVD/CD Players, Blu-Ray Devices, MP3 players, Home Theater Systems, PCs, LCDs, LEDs, and other multimedia devices therefore dictate market prospects for speakers.
The market is poised to benefit from the growing consumer preference for in-home entertainment systems. Indicating change in consumer lifestyle and choice of entertainment, the trend towards At-Home Entertainment is fast gaining strength. Against the backdrop of volatile economic conditions, watching movies, listening to favorite music, or playing games at home is proving to be an economical option in comparison to expensive leisure pursuits such as vacations, dining out or watching movie screenings. The trend directly boosts demand for sophisticated loudspeakers that can enhance audio from TV shows, digital movies or games. Also encouraging growth in the market is the rising adoption of high-end home theater systems, which creates significant opportunities for satellite/subwoofer systems, in-wall speakers and soundbars. Huge demand for home automation solutions among luxury homeowners also creates demand for strategically placed outdoor speakers.

Wi-Fi and Bluetooth enabled speakers are therefore growing in popularity and are boosting market prospects for the overall market. Growing preference for wireless connectivity can be put to perspective by the fact that almost all speaker categories, including soundbars, mobile docking speakers, and even in-wall units are now being re-designed to incorporate wireless connectivity.
As stated by the new market research report on Loudspeakers, Europe represents the largest market worldwide both in terms of volume and dollar sales. The United States represents the fastest growing market with volume sales in the country projected to grow at a CAGR of 9.5% over the analysis period.

Cost Cuts and Declining Revenues Signal Lack of Future Economic Growth, According to Investment Contrarians Expert
New York, NY (PRWEB) October 10, 2012
In a recent Investment Contrarians article, financial expert George Leong notes that revenues going forward, especially organic growth rates, will be extremely important for a healthy economy. Leong states that revenues need to grow to drive earnings; but businesses are cutting costs to drive earnings instead, signaling a lack of economic growth for the near future.
“Based on the current estimates, earnings for the S&P 500 are estimated to fall 2.6% in the third quarter, which would end the 11 straight months of earnings growth,” states Leong, citing FactSet (http://www.FactSet.com). “So far for the third quarter, 82 S&P 500 companies have issued negative earnings-per-share (EPS) guidance versus only 21 companies reporting positive guidance.”
According to Leong, Alcoa, one of the world’s top aluminum makers, is a good indicator for the global economy, as the metal is used in many industrial applications.
“In the second-quarter earnings season, Alcoa beat slightly on earnings, but revenues are an issue, as will likely be the situation for many U.S. companies,” reports Leong. He also notes that the company’s revenues are estimated to fall 12.7% in the third-quarter earnings season, followed by a 5.0% decline in the fourth-quarter earnings season.
“This is not what you would expect if the economy was healthy,” says Leong, noting that while there is some hope and optimism for the third-quarter earnings season, he expects disappointment across the board.
As in the past quarters, the key question, in Leong’s view, is whether companies are growing their revenues to drive earnings, or is earnings growth being generated by cost cuts. This is critical, and could give a good indication of how well corporate America is actually doing.
“The reality is that many companies cut costs during hard times, and they should be in a better condition now. If the economy was truly healthy, [the market] would see earnings growth driven by revenues,” Leong concludes.

Investment Contrarians is a daily financial e-letter dedicated to helping investors make money by going against the “herd mentality.”
The editors of Investment Contrarians believe the stock market and the economy have been propped up since 2009 by artificially low interest rates, never-ending government borrowing and an unprecedented expansion of our money supply. The “official” unemployment numbers do not reflect people who have given up looking for work and are thus skewed. They believe the “official” inflation numbers are also not reflective of today’s reality of rising prices.
After a 25- to 30-year down cycle in interest rates, the Investment Contrarians editors expect rapid inflation caused by huge government debt and money printing will eventually start us on a new cycle of rising interest rates.
Investment Contrarians provides unbiased research. They are independent analysts who love to research and comment on the economy and investing.
