That's right. It was definitely a good move. What about annuities? Any thoughts (anyone else but Quint). I got it Quint, google it, but sometimes it's better to find objective opinions.CaptQuint wrote: ↑Thu Apr 02, 2020 10:53 pmFreakShowFanatic wrote: ↑Tue Mar 10, 2020 9:18 pm OK, like I explained just last week I pulled 90% of my investments out of the stock market and locked what I have in guaranteed funds.

Re: Looked at your 401k lately?
Ok, here was my question before it was rudely trolled by a few dimwits here. I would think that at least Biker would have an opinion, being a day trader and all. TIAFreakShowFanatic wrote: ↑Thu Apr 02, 2020 10:48 pm Does anyone here have any opinion about Annuities? I have two Financial Advisors heavily recommending that I pull out of my 401k's & go that route. I'm starting to read up & learn more about it but I still have a ways to go. The problem I have with my Financial Advisors is that there seems to be a conflict of interest. Of course they want you to invest in things where they make the highest commission but that doesn't necessarily mean they're the best choice.

It's funny because everyone LAUGHED AND LAUGHED as the market took off like a rocket and lil ol me was over here with a guaranteed 3% that you can't even get anymore. Those programs are virtually unavailable but look at me now bitches. Still making money.

Re: Looked at your 401k lately?
Sorry sir, I went in with the most aggressive highest yield stock market plan yet pulled out of it before the market crashed with this Corona shite. I made a whole hell of a lot more than 3% dude, more like 200%. Now my investments are just like yours, making 3% until I decide to go back in and risk it in the market again.
It's done well for me. And actuality, even people that have kept their money in the market since 2008 can even take this hit and still make a lot more than you did. You need to check up on your math, sorry, this time you lost.

I'm still reliving this song. I think I was in 6th grade when I bought the Pink Floyd Animals album. Who would have known that it still sounds better than the music we're listening today? You have to have your headphones on to hear the best of it.
Try this one again. Then I'll move on to some even better stuff they did.

Re: Looked at your 401k lately?
i am not an expert on annuities and I have never had money in one. (which is primarily my go-to pre-requisite for someone to have a valuable opinion).FreakShowFanatic wrote: ↑Thu Apr 02, 2020 10:48 pm Does anyone here have any opinion about Annuities?
I had a good friend that advised me years ago to stay the fuck away from annuities. If I remember his advice right, he said that you are basically loaning your money to an insurance company. And then they pay you back a little at a time over the years. If you die you get fucked (literally. he said if you die they keep what's left and they are betting you will die before they have to pay you back). and if you want to take your money out early you get really fucked.
i think the way the commissions are rigged its a very good sell for a money manager.
