Annuity Owner MistakesBy Tony Bahu Okay, so I can tell you I have sat in front of countless numbers of people who have made mistakes when purchasing and owning annuities. And I have visited people who wish they never got involved in an annuity. And I have seen people who say that their annuity is their worst nightmare...So what is it that makes the annuity such a bad thing for some people and such a great vehicle for others??? Well I am about to tell you...and it all goes back to the annuity owners biggest MISTAKE. Yes, not mistakes but mistake. Let me explain to you. Most annuity and insurance agents out there have what is called their 'best product.' IT is the product that can supposedly solve every investment need for any investor. And they make it sound so good that when someone is shopping for annuities, they ask the salesperson, 'what is the best annuity?' and this is the biggest mistake. For all you know, the best annuity to the salesperson may be the one that pays the best commission to him. This question gets more people in trouble than any other question in the investment world...'What is the best ____________ (annuity, stock, mutual fund, etc)? Like I say all the time, there is no best investment because everyones needs are different. Each investment has its own benefits which have to be matched to an investors needs. So in essence, the biggest mistake is searching for the 'best' investmtent. So how do you avoid the annuity owners biggest mistake? By asking a better question? The best question is 'What is the best investment FOR ME?' That question is totally different. You see, to further elaborate, the biggest mistake involves not doing your homework. When you dont do your homework and you look for the 'best' investment, you will probably end up with something that you dont want. By doing your homework, you can figure out what you DO want and what you DONT want. And when a salesperson presents something to you, you can quickly see if it fits your needs or not. If it does not, then the salesperson probably didnt do his job. One tool to assist you in this search is the book, 'Annuities: The Shocking Truths Revealed <http://www.annuitymd.com>;.' Yes, you guessed it; it is not free. But it is valuable. It not only tells you what annuities can and cannot do, it gives you the right questions to ask your agent. It helps you avoid all of the annuity owner mistakes that are made. This is because it tells you everything the agnets, banks, and insurance companies dont. And it revolves around the premise of doing your homework so an annuity doesnt become your worst nightmare. The bottom line is, always ask, 'what is the best annuity for me?' And if the salesperson starts shooting out answers without asking you about your situation, then run...run and find another person. And before they ask you about your situation, its a good idea to know your own situation. The more you can help a GOOD salesperson, the more they can help you. And remember, there is no 'best investment.' There is only a best investment for each person relative to their situation and their needs. And please remember... Ignorance is not bliss...
