Over the past few years, the Federal Reserve has moved from simple interest rate manipulation to wholesale market interference with the goal of maintaining bank solvency and equity prices. This steamroller-style interference in the markets has had massive consequences. And not just for the Baby Boomers who are now hitting retirement age, but also for their children and children's children-three American generations whose retirement hopes have been left to swing in the wind on a string of broken promises.
Multiple years of shrinking interest rates, thanks to heavy bond buying by the Federal Reserve in its Quantitative Easing program, have taken an immense toll on generations of savers. The increased risk that current and future retirees have to take on to meet their income needs has left many shaken and financially insecure. As a result, many are now looking to new strategies to make up for the shortfall the Fed's zero interest rate policy has created - shifting their focus from bonds to dividend-paying stocks and adapting as they go along.
