Stan the Annuity Man: Don't fall for the annuity hype
Money Life with Chuck Jaffe - A podcast by Chuck Jaffe
Categories:
Stan Haithcock, also known as 'Stan the Annuity Man,' said investors should be wary of sales pitches for indexed annuities, which are advertised nationally but regulated by states, leaving consumers hearing 'potential, hypothetical, theoretical back-tested, hopeful, non-guaranteed, agent-created return scenarios' about products likely to disappoint in the long run. Also on the show, Tom Lydon of ETFTrends.com makes an emerging-markets bond fund his ETF of the Week, Greg McBride discusses the Fed's Wednesday meeting and what it means for the market and economy for the rest of the year, and we rebroadcast a recent interview with Brian Beitner of Chatauqua Capital Management.
