Some time away
Well, just a flurry of activity today, isn’t it? I’m going to be away on vacation until late April/early May so I wanted to commit a few ideas that I’ve been mulling over lately to the site before I either forget them or get caught up in other things. Some concepts I have “in development” as of today that’ll have to wait for my return:
1. A line item breakdown of variable annuity costs - OUCH!
2. Why stock market timing is a bad (but pervasive) idea;
3. A discussion of “senior” seminars and the art of the “sale” - beware the siren call of the “free” steak dinner!;
4. The allure of fixed index annuities and when they are suitable;
5. Long Term Care Insurance Objections (and rational responses);
6. Within every small business owner lies the soul of risk manager;
7. Moral and ethical obligations of a fiduciary;
8. Legal considerations of the sale of securities by “captive” financial advisors/insurance agents;
9. Exploration of the concept of “Personal” Enterprise Risk Management;
10. How to reduce health insurance premiums through exposure analysis;
11. Matching bond fund durations to meet a 1-5 year financial need;
12. “If investing *isn’t* boring, you’re doing it wrong”; and
13. An exploration of personal risk control techniques.
