Over the past several years fixed annuities has been maligned, slandered and debunked by Wall Street BUT it is now obvious that annuities were the best all along for safety-minded people nearing retirement. While Wall Street was melting down and 401(k)’s plummeting as stocks/bonds nosedived, fixed annuities were not affected. The worst case with a fixed annuity is earning a small, but positive, rate of return. Plus, you pay no income taxes on earnings until they are actually withdrawn. Fixed annuities are guaranteed by the same life insurance companies that protect your home, car, health, life, business and all things of value.

No doubt Wall Street bashed fixed annuities because Wall Street offers risky investments like stocks, bond, mutual funds and variable annuities AND your choice of a fixed annuity cost them a commission. Once again the Wall Street wisdom turned out to be bad advice. To get the straight story about how you might benefit from fixed annuities – and they are not for everyone – you’ll want to tune in to this FREE seminar.
