Stock Market’s History, Reality and it’s Future

Warren Buffet – meeting to shareholders “An era of lowered expectations.”

Dow Level 1900 - 66 grew to 11,497 on the eve of 2000. 100 YEARS returned a compound rate of 5.3% annualized before inflation! 1961-2010 = 5.6% return.

The question is: What is the market doing during your retirement years, when you need the money?

Jim Cramer host of “Mad Money”• 40’s: I would put more than half of your

retirement money in fixed income.

• 50’s: Shift toward more fixed income.

• 60’s: Fixed income should dominate. Your opportunities to grow your money are now limited and the reward isn't worth the risk.

• As you get closer to needing the money your caution should take hold, so that you don't let a lifetime's worth of savings be wiped out by a swift downturn in the market right before you need the money.

• What is the most cost effective and least risky asset to generate guaranteed retirement income for ones entire lifetime for 25-40% less money than through traditional means?

• What is it? Lifetime Income Annuities

Teachers Unions, Government workers, Police/Fire Dept.and The Lottery!

WHY? It cost them less money to provide for your retirement.

“Annuities are the only financial instruments available today, other than social security and pensions, that can guarantee a lifetime stream of income during retirement.” 2011 Insured Retirement Institute Fact Book, p.27.

What do you think most people would prefer?

7% with a little bit of risk or 2.15%

fixed interest with no risk?

Don’t go backwards!

Example: $100,000• Year 1: Return of +7%• Year 2: Return of +7%• Year 3: Return of -7%• Year 4: Return of +7%• Year 5: Return of +7%• Year 6: Return of -7%_____________________
