Investors love to predict the next big move for the stock market, but nobody really knows what will happen next. How should you be looking at these predictions?

First quarter GDP numbers will be coming out soon and they are predicted to be in the 1% range. Permabull Jeremy Siegel believes the market will be challenged for further gains due to low earnings growth this year. However, the 10 year treasury is sitting just below 2.7% and low rates boost markets. Today I discuss the latest stock market predictions, what causes these scenarios and how to survive them should they come true. Other topics include:

• Backdoor and mega backdoor Roth IRA’s
• Should you roll over after tax 401k contributions to a Roth IRA?
• NUA’s –Net Unrealized Appreciation
• Are Baby Boomers more prepared for dying than living?-Long term care planning options
• The problem with online retirement calculators
