What to do With your Annuity Investment in Retirement Plan?

March 25, 2013 — 8 Comments

Last time we talked about some do’s and don’ts of annuity investment.  Here’s a story about what to do with your annuity investment, if you are looking for some alternative. Let it be clear that if you are looking to rollover your annuity investment in to an IRA, you can only do it if your original annuity was bought under an IRA investment. Else you can’t roll over this in to an IRA account. Here’s an expert advice from CNN Money explaining the process.

Retirement Saving Options

We are young couple now and we can risk investing in variable return investment in our retirement account. We do not particularly want assured minimum fixed return that a typical annuity offers. If you have an investment already made in annuity and you want to cash out it, may this article help you.

No Diversification vs. too Much Diversification, How to Strike a Balance for your Investment?

October 31, 2012 — 9 Comments

In terms of investment, diversification is a method that can be defined as the lessening of danger of loss by investing in a variety of assets rather than investing the whole amount in one asset.

Investment Diversification

Diversification is needed because the prices of all the assets do not rise or fall at the same time, hence there is less risk of loss at an average level. Therefore, people who want to keep their rate of risk as low as possible diversify their investments, at least to some extent.

Few Reliable Ways to Buy Gold for Investment

September 14, 2012 — 21 Comments

Before I go about with the post, a disclaimer. We do not have gold invested in such a variety of ways that I am going to describe here. Our gold is entirely in Jewelry form. As you might have heard by now, India is one of largest gold buying countries in the world. The reason being a social culture, where gold is given by the parents to their daughter on her marriage. It’s a social custom.

There, as soon as a daughter is born, parents start buying gold for her future marriage. No wonder that in our marriage SMB got lots of gold. We had to open a bank safety locker for their safe keeping. Apart from the jewelry, we used to own gold ETFs which we sold off last year, fearing about a gold bubble, after almost doubling my money in 4 years. But, the sad part is gold is even higher now.
Gold and Silver

I am not complaining for that, I can’t sell at the peak, no matter how hard I try. No one can time the market correctly. We are happy we sold off our position at a fantastic profit. And we have all our jewelry intact which we will probably not sell ever. Let’s now begin with the rest of the article. This may be useful to you if you are looking for gold investing in near future.
