Americans Taking Direct Control of Retirement Funds

Posted on June 23, 2012 by admin

Henderson , NV (PRWEB) June 15, 2012

Every day more and more Americans are growing increasingly wary of the stock market and taking direct control of their retirement funds. Nervousness about the effects of problems in Europe, unemployment in the United States and the continued political morass in Washington have caused investors to look to safer alternatives for their retirement funds and investments.

They are doing this through the use of two relatively unknown investment vehicles – the Self Directed IRA LLC with Checkbook Control and the IRA and the 401k Small Business Financing

Plan.

Each program is designed to meet a different set of objectives:

Self Directed IRA LLC with Checkbook Control- This program is designed for making passive investments such as real estate, mortgages and trust deeds, gold and silver, international real estate, hedge funds and private placements. The program gives the IRA or 401k holder direct checkbook control of their retirement funds without incurring any tax liability or penalties. This allows the investor to make immediate investment decisions and avoid costly plan administration fees.

IRA and 401k Small Business Financing Plan – This program allows IRA and 401k holders to rollover their retirement funds to finance or start their own business without incurring tax liabilty or penalties. Many people who have lost their jobs through downsizing or termination have successfully started their own businesses using this plan.

Self Directed IRA LLC a leading provider of both type of plans has implemented a free course “10 Steps to a Self Directed IRA” to educate consumers about the basics of Self Directed IRA LLC’s. The course is available free of charge at the company website located at: Self Directed IRA LLC

The Consumer Justice Foundation Alerts Public to Asset International Report on Pension Funds Chiding Manufacturer of Depakote for Executive Pay Metrics

Posted on May 10, 2012 by admin

(PRWEB) April 16, 2012

The Consumer Justice Foundation, a for-profit corporation whose team of professional consumer advocates provides free online informational resources to consumers with regards to the potential dangers associated with certain prescription medications, hereby alert the public of a recent news report that was published by Asset International on April 4, 2012. This report stated that the New York Comptroller and five other public pension funds have submitted a shareholder resolution to Abbott Laboratories with regards to their system of executive pay.

Abbott Laboratories is the manufacturer of the drug Depakote, which is an anticonvulsant medication used to treat the symptoms of migraine headaches, epilepsy and the manic episodes associated with bipolar disorder. The report states that this shareholder resolution was submitted by the New York Comptroller as well as the pension funds including the New York City Employees Retirement System, Teachers Retirement System, New York City Police Pension Fund, New York City Fire Department Pension Fund, and the Board of Education Retirement System.

This resolution calls for Abbott Laboratories to change their executive pay system that allegedly insulates the companys executive bonuses from financial liabilities. These liabilities include a $ 1.5 billion charge-off disclosed in a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission related to ongoing settlement discussions in the previously disclosed investigation by the U.S. Department of Justicerelated to Depakote. This possible Depakote settlement, according to the report, was made in hopes of avoiding a civil lawsuit that would be filed because of alleged off-label uses of Depakote. No legal citation yet exists for such a matter, as investigation filing codes are not released to the public and the Department of Justice does not comment on ongoing matters. Abbott Laboratories disclosed this issue through its SEC filing. News of this hoped-for settlement was originally released in October of 2011.

New York City Comptroller John Liu stated in the report that, Rewarding top executives with lucrative bonuses when the company pays massive fines for allegedly breaking the law, cheating Medicaid, or potentially putting patients with dementia and autism at risk is just indefensible. The decision regarding this shareholder resolution will be made at Abbott Laboratories annual general meeting to be held later in April.

About the Consumer Justice Foundation

The Consumer Justice Foundation, whose Web site is located at http://www.consumerjusticefoundation.com, is a public resource that’s been built and maintained by a group of concerned professionals who want to provide general information for consumers regarding the potential dangers involved with the use of Depakote while pregnant. This resource is not to be considered as medical or legal advice, which should only be dispensed by a licensed medical doctor or a Depakote lawyer.

Botanolution Skin Care Partners with Ultra Fragrances to Help Raise Funds for Autism Research and Treatment at Lucile Packard Childrens Hospital

Posted on May 5, 2012 by admin

San Jose, CA (PRWEB) April 12, 2012

Botanolution (http://www.botanolution.com), a luxury brand specializing in all-natural and organic skin care products (http://www.botanolution.com/catalog-page), announced today that it partnered with Ultra Fragrances, a premier online retailer of designer skin care and beauty products, to help raise funds for the Stanford Autism Center at Lucile Packard Childrens Hospital in Palo Alto, California.

The clinic, an integral part of the Stanford Autism Center, provides evaluation, treatment, and consultation services for autistic children ages 2 -18 who have developmental disabilities as well as a psychiatric disorder. Its treatments and support methods are focused on alleviating underlying developmental disorder and target psychiatric conditions including anxiety disorder, ADHD, behavioral problems, and social difficulties. In addition, the clinic provides educational and research programs about the different aspects of developmental disorders such as diagnosis and treatment.

I have always been a strong proponent in holistic remedies; it is deeply rooted in my culture. When my son was diagnosed with autism at the age of 3, I did extensive research about the disorder and natural solutions, including remedies to calm his hyper-activeness and restlessness. The result is Kalebs Potion – Botanolutions unique blend of the most healing salts found around the world infused with therapeutic essential oils from botanicals (http://botanolution.com/catalog-page/therapeutic-bath-salt/). The special bath salt mixture did wonders in helping calm Kalebs excessive energy, says Jennifer Tran, Founder and CEO of Botanolution. We were fortunate enough to work with Dr. Antonio Hardan, Director of the Autism and Developmental Disabilities Clinic at Packard Childrens, and have Kaleb be part of his research. As a token of our gratitude, our company has decided to donate 100% of profits resulting from the sale of Kalebs potion towards Dr. Hardans autism research initiatives, she added.

The mission of this partnership is to give back to the community and spread autism awareness. With the help of Ultra Fragrances in the distribution and sale of Kalebs Potion, Botanoluiton expects an increase in fundraising for the research and treatment development programs at the Stanford Autism Center at Packard Childrens.
