In this episode, The Annuity Man discusses:  Having money in the stock market (even if you don't have or need an annuity). Why you should be in the stock market, either managing yourself or having someone manage it for you.  Understanding if you need an annuity and how to allocate and proportion your money.  Diversification of risk and assets. The stock market and annuities can work together, but they cannot be compared.    Key Takeaways:  80% of all stock market trades are not done by a real-life, breathing human.  If you want market growth, stick with the stock market. Annuities are for the guarantees, not growth. Never buy annuities for what they might do. You can't look at back-tested numbers, you can only look at what it will do, not what it might do.  Never compare the stock market to annuities. Never compare investments to contracts. One is a shouldering of the risk and one is the transferring of the risk.    "It comes down to two things: how much risk are you willing to shoulder and how much risk are you wanting to transfer? Everybody is different." —  Stan The Annuity Man     Connect with The Annuity Man:  Website: TheAnnuityMan.com  Email: [email protected]  Book: Owner's Manuals  YouTube: Stan The Annuity Man  Get a Quote Today!
