That is quite possibly the most stupid bit of investment advice I have ever seen.

Thumbs up

This may not be for everyone but I like it for a long term retirement vehicle.

I like the saftey of Annuities. Your money is protected. (Like O.J. who is still playing golf and how Ken Lay of Enron kept his riches before he died.) The Government even uses Annuities for the military retirements! Teacher retirements are annuities so I figure they are good enough for me!

These are not the old Variable Annuities with all the expensive fees you may have heard of in the past. Actually there are no fees at all.

This company has Annunities that operates off the S&P 500 index. When the market rises, money is made. When the market drops, you are protected from a loss and do not loose anything!

Annuities offer asset protection and tax advantages you won’t find with mutual funds or CDs. They also avoid the probate process and pass directly to heirs, which is an excellent estate planning tool.

There is a cap on the earnings but a small amount taken off the top is better than loosing a lot in a down turn of the market.

Not only that, you can get a 5%-10% bonus on the money rolled into Annuities! Right off the bat you are 5%-10% ahead!


You can pm me if you want the website of the company I use. I don't think I can post a link here but I will try... www.integriplanfinancial.com or integriplanfinancial dot com

Have a prosperous 2007!

I think it's cool as long as you are not pushing a specific company product. However if you are getting into it yourself to invest, then by all means tells us everything

My advisors have told me to invest heavily in Orange Juice on the commodities market. I have always been a sucker for pork bellies, given my love for bacon and bacon related products.

If you mean Union Pacific then they closed at 92. Minimal price fluctuation given that the volume was 1.18M.
How long you've held on to this stock?
