Retirees Sharing Their Future

HomeTrader Media Release, 26 June 2007

More and more retirees are taking up share trading to supplement their income in retirement according to one of Australia’s largest financial market educators.

HomeTrader Managing Director, Jason Davis said, “Many retirees are looking for ways to take charge of their retirement income.  They are attracted to share trading to supplement their retirement income.  This generation knows the value of education which is important to be a successful trader.”

“As the ageing population increases and therefore the number of retirees rises, it’s likely that this trend will be amplified in the next ten to twenty years.”

The Federal Government’s Productivity Commission Research Report stated that the proportion of Australia’s population over the age of 65 is expected to double in the next 40 years1.

Retired Adelaide couple, Phil and Bron Ackland, are successful share traders which enables them to enjoy what they love doing most.  Profits from the Ackland’s share trading success supplement their retirement income and in particular fund their passion for travel.

The Ackland’s share trading system has on average returned 50% each year over the past three years.

Phil Ackland said, “We are planning to travel to South America to visit Machu Picchu later in the year and then experience the Trans-Siberian railway in 2008.  Europe is also on our radar of places to visit.”

“It was a difficult decision to retire because we had developed a successful business that had grown over 18 years from our dining room table to a large factory operation.”

“Investing our time and money into share trading education was the best thing we could have done.  We can now enjoy a wonderful retirement thanks to our share trading success.”

The Acklands are huge advocates of share trading and are excited about the financial freedom that it offers them in retirement.
