New term to figure out...

Like most everyone else, I get offers to buy/invest every week.. and they all sound faultless.

However one I got last week had a new term in it.. new to me at least..

I am sure a number of people on OPP can define if for me..

The deal of the week was labeled as a "fixed index annuity".. Now annuity has been a buzz word for a while, index funds of all sorts, but just what do they mean with a fixed index annuity..must be very simply but I have not paid much attention to investments for quite a long time..

Anyone to enlighten me?

gotta love these pies, maybe still a bit early but they are so nicely done..

I don't have to deal with higher mathematics anymore. Since denuding my bank account to repair my t***smission, I don't have to count very high now.

Yet, some people promote the simple life... LOL.. I always found the sitting around and contemplating my belly button was boring..

I am sorta in the same boat as you.. I had an ice dam fall on my deck and smash it last winter.. Insurance (now that is a good one to scorn) said not covered by insurance, so I had the deck removed and a covered porch put on.. all on my own dime.. at that rate the dimes go fast..

But the days still are nice,, so enjoy..

Now, I can more readily understand why "Obammy", sent so many Somalians to *Minn"e"sota: because they think like "Spermafrost"? [ Birds of a feather?...[ dead ducks!]

mentally terminal at best!

A fixed indexed annuity is a tax-deferred, long-term savings option that provides principal protection in a down market and opportunity for growth. It gives you more growth potential than a fixed annuity along with less risk and less potential return than a variable annuity.
