Just a few notes on EIA....
"Market returns with none of the risks" - the issue with this is it costs allot to get out, and has caps on how much you can earn. The better move is to make a diversified portfolio built with stocks and funds will have way more growth potential.
First you do need an insurance license to sell these. They can shield you from adverse market moves, however, the large fees and restrictions largely negate their growth potential. Read the fine print, it's all there. remenber, growth potential is not assured at all with EIA's! An Equity Income Annuity is based on the s&p 500, however you do not earn full market returns. You do not earn any of the dividends, your limited on how much of the index's return you can collect under the EIA, or they also have the "right" to cap or reduce your annual gains.
EIA's have Steep fees to get to you money. Example; it varies but, Amrus levies surrender fees starting at 18% for at least 14 years, which means forget about you r money if you need it for that time period. Class action against Amerus
This is an actual formula to figure out an EIA return..
a x [b x (c-d)/e + (d-e)/e] x g ------------------------------- f
- participation rate for the term
- years since start of term
- the greater of E and the highest S&P 500 average on any certificate anniversary during the term (including the current certificate anaversary).
- Is "e" on the first cert. anniversary in a termand, on each later cert. anniversary in a term, the value of "c" on the prior cert. anniversary.
- e Is the value of S&P 500 at the start of the term
- length of the term
- Start-of-term indexed value less any adjustments due to partial surrenders durring the term.
- participation rate for the term

I wonder why you would care about the movement?

Indexed annuities and the methods used to sell them are a problem for the BDs that offer them. I predict IAs will lead to large class action lawsuits over the next 5 to 10 years.
yes they will...it will make the past mutual fund problem look like a walk in the park, thats for sure...

waiting is the hardest part. EMS is so slow to update.. (which doesn't make the wait easier)..
-
It is absolutley GORGEOUS!!!
But the rep has subdial spacing AND size issues. I've thought about it....but just can't do it until I'm done with collecting all the 98% accurate reps first. This one's in the 90% range IMHO.
true.. have been eyeing this one for a while, yet there are a few that must come before... but this one is definately on the list.
-
Nice! I just ordered the exact same one from Andrew Got my tracking number the other day. I am expecting it to arrive sometime next week. I can’t wait!
Jim
got mine today, looks even better on the wrist. I have to borrow a camera, but I'll be posting pics and a review later..
You'll love it!

However I think that our hobby may come to an end because of other factors to do with the Chinese tightening of laws and their ever growing economy.
This will be the bellweather, not before.

I would suggest minimizing exposure (at this time) in investments such as small cap, mid cap and emerging markets.
very good advice... also stay a way from bonds fo right now. Look for dividend paying funds, in a sidways or down market they at least will pay out and reduce market risk.
is JANUS fund kosherDon’t be afraid to sit down with a licensed advisor, and have him/her run a comparison. That’s what they do. There are ton of fund managers better than janus, one of which was mentioned above .. American funds (such their bel weather AMCPX fund).
look for yourself..

The first place to start is your company; see if they offer a 401k. If they do not, get started on your own, through a brokerage house. The better full service firms are AG Edwards or Edward Jones, they are consistantly at the top of JD Power and Associates rankings. Also, they don't sell proprietary financial products (i.e. sell you there "own" funds), so you'll have better choices. They welcome both experienced and non-experienced investors.
Depending on your age, you will need to figure out if growth or income strategies are appropriate. Also you will need to figure out what monthly dollar amount (contribution) you need to make in order to reach a comfortable retirement. You may need to make catch up contributions, to get on track fast if you haven’t been saving all along. Additionally, how you’re going to pay for your daughter’s college in 17 years? ...Look into a 529 college savings Plan.
There is a lot more to it than a hot stock, or a mutual fund. Each one is different and one unlike annother may not always be what’s right for you. For any type of fund the MOST important element aside from performance is the funds Managers! after all, its realy the Managers handeling of the fund that gives the fund it's returns. Stability in management is key, and more than one manager is preferred.
Don’t go it alone to save a dollar or two. Deal with a professional; after all it’s your legacy and your family's future security.
Best wishes

Way to go!!

Only do it when you feel comfortable. Its a common procedure nowadays and affordable (compared to years past). Of course, once you do the procedure you'll wonder why you hadn't done it sooner.
Best whishes on the new sight!
