ESCSC Merge Stock Grant


At HPE, long-term incentives make up part of your compensation package and are designed to reward performance and recognize future contributions. You can view your long-term incentives by visiting the Merrill Lynch website.

Acceleration of unvested long-term incentives:
Long-term incentives you held on 24 May 2016 may be eligible for acceleration triggered by specific events whether or not related to a spin-merge.
Conversion of long-term incentives:
When the ES/CSC spin-merges take place, your long-term incentives will be converted to maintain the intrinsic value of your grants.
Impact on your HPE shares:
If you hold HPE shares on the record date,[2] you will keep your HPE shares and receive a distribution of shares of the ES/CSC merged entity (after 31 March 2017), and shares of the Software/Micro Focus merged entity (in the second half of fiscal year 2017).
Taxes:
In the U.S., both spin-merges are intended to be tax free. In other countries, there may be tax implications associated with the acceleration and/or conversion of your long-term incentives and any new merged company shares you may receive at the close of either spin-merge.
Restrictions:
The vesting of your long-term incentives and the ability to exercise stock options or stock appreciation rights will be impacted by a blackout at Merrill Lynch. The ability to exercise your stock options and/or sell your HPE shares is governed by our insider trading policies.

Retirement Planning

OK, I admit I got a late start with retirement funding.

Sylvia and I have now got a net worth of $700,000. This year alone, my net worth increased over $250,000.

My current planning and action was all done in order to create and maintain net worth.

However, while not letting my eye off the ball of continuously increasing net worth, I need to start creating a similar mental model of how that net worth will translate into monthly income at retirement.

Social Security - Peter   $2500 a month
Social Security - Sylvia $1500 a month

Lets assume I could create ten investment properties that were paid off by the time I retire at 67.

How will I create ten investment properties

Eden2 - $200,000K US
Grimlinghauserstraase - $500,000K US

$700,000k

75% leverage = $2.8 million in real estate
= About $10,000 in cashflow a month

The real gain is in capital gains. Which means timing of when to sell and buy, if you assume the market is cyclic.

It is 2017 now. I am 67 in 2037. That's twenty years

So properties have to be paid off in less than a 30 year mortgage.

A large chunk of the benefit of owning investment property is the fact that the interest is tax deductible. That acts as a disincentive to pay them off. But, if the goal is to have them paid off and creating cash flow, I would have to pay off significant amounts of additional principal, early in the

So, is it better to pay them off, or use additional capital to buy more properties?

The ways you make money in investment property are:
1. Capital gains
2. Depreciation deduction
3. Mortgage interest is a business cost.

Buying more properties::
1. Increases opportunity for capital appreciation
2. Increases depreciation to offset income
3. Increases cash flow
4. Creates additional complexity and cost
5. Increases potential risk

Paying down existing properties:
1. Increases equity in the property being paid off
2. Decreases availability of free capital (increases cash flow risk)
3. Decreases overall risk by having decreasing leverage.

Net worth impact is the same for additional strategy.

What is my free cash flow income target at 67.

To maximise our social security benefits we should not start receiving social security until age 67.

Target retirement income is $10,000 a month for 20 years, then assume some kind of managed care for 10 years.

I need concrete income calculations and draw down calculations that answer some of the following questions.
- How much will my 401 K type savings last.

I need to understand better the cash flow that a property investment portfolio could generate, and how to use that cash to minimize tax and maximise income.

Social security makes up 90% of their income from 35 percent of retirees
Social security makes up 50% of the income of 60 percent of retirees

Monitor the gains I make from my 401K to see how much I would make trading mutual funds in my 401K.

What is the balance I would need in my 401k to be able to make income from regular trading and from ownership of dividend and capital gains distributions.

If I had $1,000,000 in my 401K, and was trading $100,000 (10% of the total balance) in each trade:
 - A 3% gain would be $3000 in profit. After tax that would be $2500

It's realistic that I could make 2-3 3% trades each month. That would be between $5000 and $10,000 per month, or $3750 and $7500 after tax.

The target is to create a clear plan for $10,000 after tax income per month


See which funds can be used to provide monthly income.







EDS Retirement Rollover into IRA

Significant financial event today.  The EDS retirement plan from my time as an EDS employee was paid out as a tax free rollover into my retirement savings account.

The payout far exceeded the $14,537 cash value which was recorded in the EDS Pension statement, or the the lump-sum payment when the program was announced of  $19,074.

The actual payment was $23,999

This amount goes into Rollover IRA which I can manage similar to my brokerage account, or perhaps put in a retirement age based fund.

Stock Trading Reset

Shocking realization today:

I created several new calculations on my trading spreadsheet.

The first column was a cumulative profit per stock figure, where I could see how much profit I made over all the trades done for a particular stock

The second column was a running total of the long term profit over all the trades I had recorded.

The shocking thing was that basically my profits were cancelled out by my losses. This implies that effectively I would have done much better simply sticking my money in a monthly income fund like Realty Income, and collecting a small dividend every month.

In fact, if I had put all my available investment dollars in Realty Income in 2008, I would have probably made 200-300% gain.

In my 401K, I've been more successful at training myself to demand that my account balance increase every month

Here is a strategy idea for my stock trading. What if at the end of every month, if I haven't increased my balance, I sell any losing stocks in order to reduce further losses?

If my goal is to see my monthly trading account balance increase every month, how would that change my choice of investments?

It has worked well for my 401K. This is a a kind of trigger approach, where I make conservative investments based on my RSI and EMA trading patterns, then take gains in such a way that my account balance keeps increasing every month. If this means I gravitate to income type investments, this is probably a good thing.
