Phil Town talks about in 401 (k)’s in his new PAYBACK TIME book. If the market tank that happened to your retirement money in the last couple of years wasn’t enough to prove to you the futility of the 401 (k) industry here are a few more thoughts by Phil Town. Town thinks Americans have been systematically”brainwashed” He thinks 401 k’s are not serving to your retirement out of good hearted concerns. You are continuing to take a big hair cut from these institutions as they charge huge fees.
The fund industry are the very people who created these funds and who benefit the most from your investments. the fund administrators and managers. They’ve set up the system so that, in the end, they can take a big chunk of your money. You didn’t know that, did you? You thought they were only taking a little piece. Not so. (Hang tight; I’ll explain how this happens shortly.) Phil Town thinks fund managers are in the mutual fund business because it makes them wealthy without having to be really talented. He thinks most of them either don’t have the skill set necessary to successfully stockpile businesses or they don’t have time to be patient for a great opportunity to stockpile. Yet you give them your hard-earned money. But they will not get you the results you can get for yourself as an investor.

Phil Town Payback Time Investing Tip

If you are a fan of Phil Town and his PAYBACK TIME revolution then you’ll appreciate some simple and practical advice I’ve heard Phil Town give. A lot of us have this question:

“If I have a ton of debt, should I pay it off my debt first before getting started in PAYBACK TIME investing?”


First thing he might tell you about having too much debt is to keep it in perspective.  Nobody died, we’re still healthy, we’re still in the investing game. However, it is still hard to shake the pressure that debt puts on each individual.  It’s like you’re on a tread mill and no matter how fast you run, you get nowhere.  So to fix this you’ve got to get better training and we’ve got to do things differently. Now to the really big question people ask after hearing Phil Town speak at seminars: “Should I pay for professional investing tools when they’re loaded up with debt?

Usually a lot of debt means that you are paying really high interest rates - maybe higher than 18% a year. In his Rule #1 book he would tell you that if you are paying 18% and making 15% you are not playing by Rule One.

So while you are paying off the debt, you are going to be banking the most important thing you can bank: investing experience.  Town would recommend this whether you have debt or not: if you are a just starting PAYBACK TIME type investing, then you want you to paper trade a minimum of $100,000 until you know you know what you are doing. This could take some time but that’s okay because you are banking valuable experience. All the while you are getting rid of the debt.

And here’s one of Phil Town’s secrets to getting rich fast: Use other people’s money. The secret lies in GETTING other people’s money.  And here’s the secret to that secret: Build a great track record as a PAYBACK TIME investor, even by paper trading and the money will seek you out.  Investors are always looking for someone to put money with who has a good track record.

Phil Town teaches investors

Phil Town will release his new book Payback Time in less than 30 days in every major bookstore in the U.S. This is the follow up to Town’s best selling book called “Rule #1″ investing and finance books by Random House publishing. Eventually his first book was translated into 7 different languages.
Phil Town Payback Time is about the proper way to buy and hold a stock. The most critical part of buying and holding is making sure you are buying a good business ON SALE. You’ve got to know what the thing is worth and buy it for a lot, lot less if you want your long term investing results to be spectacular – like 25% a year kind of spectacular. To get returns like that, you have to buy right. I call buying right the Payback Time Price. Payback Time is a concept I borrowed from doing private equity deals. When we buy a private business, we’re not so certain where we are going to sell it. Maybe no one wants it when we want to sell it. So we wanted to be sure we could get our money out of the deal from earnings in a short time. Like 7 years or so. The time it takes to get your money out of a deal is called the Payback Time and its powerful notion because once you have your money out of the deal, you have no risk. You have no downside. You only have potential profit. That is Rule #1 investing at its finest. Phil Town says the too often folks see long-term investing as mutual funds only otherwise known as long-term-hoping. The sad truth is that mutual fund investors are , to a stunning degree, pinning their hopes on an institution that is hopeless. It turns out that only 4% of all mutual fund managers consistently beat the S&P 500 index in the long term. Payback Time book is about the risk-free approach called stockpiling.

Bank of America Sucks by Phil Town

October 20, 2009 by · Leave a Comment
Filed under: Phil Town 

Phil Town said that Melissa has had an account at B of A since early 2002. Melissa deposits a check every month and for every month since she opened the account 8 years ago, she was always able to write checks immediately against the check she deposited and the bank would cash them. However, according to Phil Town, last month the bank told Melissa that they would no longer allow her to get cash right after her deposits. They were going to hold the check for about a week until it was taken off of “hold” status.


What happened to Bank of America? Why did Bank of America demand its branch managers to gather in the ‘float’ at the cost of losing some accounts to more customer friendly banks. (‘Float’ is cash the bank has in its accounts that it doesn’t own. Melissa’s money belongs to her and she should have complete access to her funds. What B of A does is they cash the check immediately and sit on that money for several days during which time it can lend it out short term. Any money, even a very small amount which makes them interest with no cost is pure profit.)

So why would a RULE #1 investor want to own this kind of business? Phil Town say’s you don’t want to own Bank of America because it sucks! He says “No. Hell, no. I don’t want to own businesses that screw the little guy, I don’t care how much money they make. Screw them. We’re moving all our accounts to BB&T. I love their attitude.”
