Sound Income Strategies Announces The Official Launch of The Retirement Income Store® Website—Where Retirees Go for Income


News Image

Sound Income Strategies, LLC, a full-service financial firm dedicated to helping individuals and families meet their immediate and long-term financial objectives, has launched The Retirement Income Store® website.

The Retirement Income Store®, powered by Sound Income Strategies, is a virtual store where individuals can go to find a local Income Specialist, who can help them reduce their exposure to stock market risk and help them generate ongoing streams of income for retirement.

Founded in January of 2015, Sound Income Strategies (SIS) recently celebrated reaching $1 billion in Assets Under Management. SIS is made up of experienced investment management specialists, who actively manage their clients’ portfolios with the goal of maximizing income first and opportunities for growth second.

Although Sound Income Strategies and The Retirement Income Store® work with a wide range of clients nationwide, they specialize in helping those who are in or near retirement.

Their founder, David Scranton, has become known during his 30 years in the industry as an advisor who is particularly protective of his clients’ assets. For the past 20 years, he has specialized in the universe of income-generating savings and investment strategies.

David says: “The sad reality is that trusting a typical stock market-based financial advisor to handle your retirement future can be somewhat of a gamble … and who wants to gamble with their retirement future? Fortunately, there is another way—Investing for Income. By focusing primarily on non-stock market, income-generating investment options, you could better protect your savings from stock market risk, so you can use your savings to establish renewable streams of income you can count on well into retirement.”

David is regularly sought out to share his insights on the financial markets on networks like CNBC, Bloomberg, and Fox Business.

In 2016, David Scranton started his own TV show, The Income Generation, which airs weekly on Newsmax TV. Broadcast to over 70 million households nationwide every Sunday at 10 AM, the show tackles the issues that are most important to those who are retired, or within 10 to 15 years of retirement.

David Scranton has written three books. In 2011, he wrote and self-published Stop the Financial Insanity: How to Keep Wall Street’s Cancer from Spreading to Your Portfolio. In 2016, David became an Amazon Bestselling Author with his second book, Return on Principle: 7 Core Values to Help Protect Your Money in Good Times and Bad. Now, David has just completed his third book, The Retirement Income Stor-E: The Story behind the Launch of The Retirement Income Store—published by Advisors’ Academy Press, October 15, 2019, and distributed by Simon & Schuster, part of the CBS Corporation.

Steve Forbes, Publishing Executive and Editor-in-Chief of Forbes Magazine, and a repeat guest on The Income Generation Show, had this to say about David’s second book, Return on Principle:, “Armed with insights gained from a lifetime of study of stocks and investment alternatives, David Scranton offers perspectives investors should not ignore in these turbulent times where so many of the ‘old rules’ are being obliterated.”

“David is an important thought leader; always worth the read,” says Peter Morici, recognized professor on economic policy and International Business Professor at the Robert H. Smith School of Business, at the University of Maryland.

About Sound Income Strategies: Sound Income Strategies is a Registered Investment Advisory firm specializing in active management of individual fixed-income securities. With specialized management style and experience, the firm focuses on maximizing the value of their clients’ fixed-income portfolios, and then building retirement plans that deliver consistent income, growth potential, and – most importantly – defense against damaging losses.

As a Registered Investment Advisory firm, Sound Income Strategies diligently honors their fiduciary responsibility as spelled out in the US Investment Advisors Act of 1940. Their goal is to always act and serve in the best interest of their clients.

Health Care M&A Volume Falls in Q3:2019, According to HealthCareMandA.com


News Image

“The third quarter’s deal volume didn’t end on the up-note we expected when the quarter began…Still, private equity has a lot of money sitting on the sidelines and some large national platforms are on the market. The fourth quarter could surprise us.”

Health care merger and acquisition activity slowed compared with the second quarter. The number of deals announced fell 13%, to 408, compared with the previous quarter and was 15% lower than the 478 deals announced in the same quarter in 2018. Combined spending in the third quarter totaled $51.5 billion, down 63% compared with the previous quarter’s extraordinary $139.1 billion. It was 65% greater than the $31.1 billion reported in the same quarter in 2018, according to HealthCareMandA.com.

Healthcare services transactions represented 67% of the third quarter’s deal volume, similar to the previous four quarters. The Long-Term Care sector once again ranked the busiest, with 101 deals and a 25% share of the quarter’s transaction total. Year-over-year, only two sectors posted gains—Hospitals (+17%) and Managed Care (+29%)—and Rehabilitation remained the same. Combined spending accounted for only 38% of the quarter’s total, approximately $19.6 billion, based on disclosed prices.

Healthcare technology deals accounted for 33% of the third quarter’s deal volume. The eHealth sector was the busiest, posting 53 deals and making up 13% of the quarter’s total. Year-over-year, eHealth was the only one of the technology sectors to post an increase in deal volume, up 43% compared with the second quarter of 2018. Combined spending among the technology sectors was more than $31.9 billion.

“The third quarter’s deal volume didn’t end on the up-note we expected when the quarter began,” said Lisa E. Phillips, editor of HealthCareMandA.com. “The two interest rate cuts from the Federal Reserve didn’t offset the growing talk of a recession and slowing economic growth in the European Union and China. Still, private equity has a lot of money sitting on the sidelines and some large national platforms are on the market. The fourth quarter could surprise us.”
