Hello everyone, great to have your company on Kalkine TV. I'm James and you are watching The
Buzzing Trends and in this edition of the show we will take a look at ten ASX listed stocks
that could lend you support during the retirement phase. [e] I’ll break down their one-year returns,
dividend yields and market cap to give you an insight into their yearly performance. RETIREMENT
PLANNING is a critical step, with investors focused on enjoying this new without encountering
financial issues. At this critical juncture, investment in bitcoin and other risky assets
may sound like signing up for a roller coaster ride. These investment options are too turbulent
for saving up for retirement. On the other hand, depending merely on banks and bonds in
the current low-interest-rate scenario can eat away the hard-earned bucks. Thus, a retiree’s
investment portfolio should involve a prudent selection of stocks cherry-picked wisely to offer
consistent income streams. The portfolio should exhibit growth potential without significant
risks involved. WITH THIS backdrop, [w] let us look at some stocks listed on the Australian
Securities Exchange that appear to be quality options for your portfolio in the long run. [e]
