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?

Let's talk about getting quotes on my site, reverse engineering the quote, or lump sum.

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'm just going to pat myself, and my team, on the back because I'm going to rave about our process. Now, I have to credit how this has been set up. My CEO and Director of Operations. Very smart, has been in the industry a long time, and has put together the process and the best practices for when you become a client and how you go through that paperwork with us and how it works.
