Shootin’ It Straight with Stan®

Today's topic is payout rates versus interest rates. This is a big one. I recently did a talk on this to a large audience, and I thought I would bring it to you on my Shooting it Straight with Stan videos so you can hear it. There's a lot of confusion on this in the annuity world, payout rate, interest rate.

Today's topic is the inverted annuity yield curve. Now, CNBC, Fox Business, and everybody in the newspapers and the Wall Street Journal are just writing these articles about the inverted yield curve. What is that?

Today's topic is a good one. I got to read from it because it just popped the other day. I've got to talk about that because I've been talking about it before, but it didn't have an acronym, and now it has an acronym, and that's cool. I like acronyms like PILL, principal protection, income for life, legacy, and long-term care.

We’re talking about today’s topic because of some things that have happened this week that have pointed us in this direction. I want to make sure you understand your annuity payout options.

Today's topic is a very unique one because we're in unique times and I call it the Annuity Black Swan event.
