Invest in July before the high,
Then sell in August before you sigh.
Remember September - trade then too!
(And again in October - for a Divvie or two.)
November's a must, you surely can trust,
For a hike in a DIV and a rich life to live.
Along 'bout December - you'll surely remember -
To forget what you heard way back in November.
Which brings us back to January, ya' know,
The month that's a guide for where to put your dough.
Now by February - if you're not frozen out -
Quietly buy calls and puts but don't shout.
For by March those expiring options will show,
If you're poor or possibly made some more dough.
And by April you're back to pondering once more,
Is it "buy in May" or "head for the door?"

For my M-in-L's case, author RS's 3rd paragraph is why my F-in-L bought it for her. That, and the fact that he knew she would have no interest in managing her finances.

As for me, I don't think I'll be getting an annuity, but then again I no longer have life insurance either... rather manage my own affairs.

Lastly, this article and comments now have me thinking about how each of my beneficiaries will manage inherited assets, and how I can best prepare them (both the assets and the kids) to do so. For example, I may now invest in some MLPs that I will not ever touch, and leave them to the kids, as they generally have a higher return than other investments. Thus, I'll not pay taxes on them (unless Uncle Sam changes the rules) as that would help achieve my goal of leaving something to them.]]> Wed, 20 Mar 2013 10:27:30 -0400

I also spoke with an annuity salesman recently who said there is, in my words, a sort of double-entry bookkeeping. Thus, the basis for payouts is on a hypothetical 8% growth of the funds placed in the annuity. But, the actual amount of funds at death is based on another accounting method, and is "less." When I asked to see a sample contract, he said I couldn't have one until after I signed up (!!!) and the company would then provide it. And he is from a reputable outfit.

I still have some homework to do! Seems if they are willing to pay 8% per year, and, for example, I only drew out 8% at the end of each year, then the original amount should still be available to beneficiaries regardless of when I no longer need it. (Thus, they would have to be earning more than 8% per year, year in and year out, in order to pay commissions and keep the lights on.) What am I missing?!!!]]> Tue, 19 Mar 2013 22:50:58 -0400

Small point, but LNCO shares are being used to buy BRY, then LNCO is transferring BRY assets to LINE in exchange for additional ownership units. Thus, it is LNCO stock and not LINE stock.]]> Thu, 21 Feb 2013 12:44:02 -0500
