Re: Pre-Retirment Investing Strategy

The financial strength/rating of the company producing the annuity is also of some importance.

"You really need to be something of a financial genius to intelligently compare two such products, unfortunately, so it is difficult to know whether you are getting a good deal."

If the deal is overly complex, and there are large fees involved, then I think it is NOT difficult to know whether you are getting a good deal.

Re: Pre-Retirment Investing Strategy

From all that I've read or heard from people I respect, I'd have to say anuities do not belong in IRAs generally. I'm sure there are exceptions, but I've never heard/read what they might be. Anuities benefit the salespeople/ Insurance companies as much or more than investors.

My educated (?) opinion but then I'm not legally qualified to make recomendations nor do I play someone on TV that is.

Jim.
