Annuity Payouts – What are My Options?

When it comes to laying the financial foundation for retirement, many people choose to use a combination of stocks, bonds annuities and mutual funds to build the assets they’ll need to have a comfortable and successful retirement. If you’ve chosen to use annuities, you’ve likely already spoken at length with a financial planner and have chosen an annuity that fits your lifestyle and income. You already know that you can protect your principal and have a steady income for the rest of your life. Annuities are a vital component of a well-balanced retirement plan.

While annuities are certainly not the only option when planning retirement, they do offer some flexibility and guarantees that other investment methods do not. If you have chosen to go the annuity route to retirement, you should familiarize yourself with not only the initial purchase and investment, but also how you receive funds when you’re ready for them.

When the time comes and you are ready to begin receiving your annuity payouts, the accumulated value of the annuity will facilitate the payment to you. It may not seem as though it is of paramount importance when you purchase the annuity, but making yourself familiar with how the annuity payments actually work is not something to be left for the future. Here are some of your annuity payout options and a brief explanation of each method.

First, there are essentially three main options to choose from when receiving an annuity payment.

The first option is Income for Life. This option is more or less exactly as the name would lead you to believe: a guaranteed and set income for the duration of your life wherein payments will cease upon your death. This option carries a not dismissible amount of risk since you of course have no idea of when exactly you will die. In the event that you should die before the annuity has been completely paid out to you, the insurance company, and not your beneficiaries (in example-your family members), will receive the remainder of the annuity funds. Again, this option does carry potential risks but may be applicable to your lifestyle and circumstances.

The second annuity payout option is Income for Life with a Guaranteed Period, also known as a Period Certain Annuity. This second option is more generally more appealing than the Income for Life option because it provides the exact same coverage, but if you die before the prearranged guarantee period reaches expiration, any of your beneficiaries will continue to receive regular payments until the guarantee period ends. If family is a consideration for you, this is likely the better option of the two.

A third option is known as the Joint and Survivor option. This particular annuity type is very popular amongst married couples. This payout option guarantees regular payments to you and another person, typically a spouse, until such time as both of you dies. In some variations of this plan, the payment amount is reduced after the first death. A period certain (*see above) may also be available with this option.

Annuity payout options are completely flexible and any of these options can likely be combined to fit your individual needs.

Also of interest is that Annuities can also be used to fund your 401k, (and 403b, and Individual Retirement/IRA). Some financial planners would advise against this course of action and tell you that you should not use your annuity for this purpose. There are two reasons for this: penalties and contribution limitations.

The US Federal Government requires that you begin receiving regular payments by age 70 1/2. If you have used your annuity to fund your 401k, there is an automatic 10% penalty for early withdrawal if you take funds before age 59 1/2. The amount you can contribute to your 401k is governed by IRS rules; you can consult their website for full details and particulars.

Not only did he make a fortune, but he also was the longtime editor and publisher of The Magazine of Wall Street and the developer of successful methods to analyze and forecast the market.

After all, he wrote, "in Wall Street as anywhere else, the chief essential is common sense, coupled with study and practical experience." He covers topics such as the six rules he’s found helpful, why he adopted Harriman’s principle, what he looks for before buying a bond, the earmarks of a desirable investment, the importance of knowing who owns a stock, and how to recognize manipulation in the market. RICHARD D. WYCKOFF edited and published The Magazine of Wall Street and wrote Studies in Tape Reading and other books on his stock market techniques. He was an early proponent of ticker tape reading, and his method of analyzing the market is still used by brokers and traders today.

Mr. Kumar includes a history of wine markets dating back to the 12th century; chapters on the different modes of marketing and distribution in Bordeaux, and the primary and secondary markets; and he critically analyses the total alternative investment market, and the

Trading Stock Options will show you how you can use options to: * Get paid to buy and sell your favorite stock * Purchase stocks for less than their current price * Buy insurance on stocks in your portfolio * Profit when stocks lose value * Perform short-term trades with less money than trading the stock From the Introduction "Through my experiences with option trading, I have tried almost every strategy I could find. In this book, I will be discussing the strategies that I use the most and feel are the best available. I will take you through a number of actual trades as they occurred and show you what I did right and what I did wrong. I will also show you plenty of theoretical examples of how the strategies work and what factors will influence which strategy is the best for whatever situation the market throws in front of you. In 2007 I was the first place finisher in the Zacks.com 4th Quarter 2007 options trading contest with a return of 212%. It hasn’t always been pretty but I have used both my gains and my losses to learn, both of which I’ll be discussing with you." From the Back Cover "Many traders and investors dismiss stock options as either too complex or too risky. But did you know that options can be easily understood and the risk easily managed? This book will show you the basics of stock options in easy to understand terminology. You will be able to read option quotes with ease, get an option enabled trading account, and trade basic option strategies in no time."

Capital Gains, Minimal Taxes: The Essential Guide for Investors and Traders $40.75 From the Publisher: For anyone who buys and sells stocks, mutual funds or stock options, this book makes it easy to understand the tax rules and the best strategies for minimizing taxes. The 2004 edition covers all tax changes through December 2003. It is written in plain language but backed by solid research that makes it the most authoritative book on the subject. For stock investors it provides complete coverage of the relevant tax provisions, including the capital loss limitation, how to identify shares, the wash sale rule, and the special tax rate for qualified dividends. Mutual fund investors will learn how and when to use the averaging rules for sales of mutual fund shares and how to handle all the categories of mutual fund dividends. Advanced investors will find a clear explanation of tax rules for short sales, stock options and straddles. The book also explains how buying and selling activity may qualify you as a trader and if so, how that will affect your taxes. This isn’t an all-purpose book on taxation of investments. You won’t learn about Roth IRAs or variable annuities or even the rules for reporting interest from government bonds. The goal is to do one thing well: explain how people who buy and sell stocks, mutual funds and stock options can minimize the tax cost of those investments. Synopsis This book makes it easy for stock and mutual fund investors to understand the rules and the best strategies for minimizing taxes. It assumes no knowledge, explaining everything from the beginning in plain language. Yet it also provides information for advanced investors, such as the tax rules for short sales and straddles, and the special rules that apply to traders. This edition covers changes made in the 2003 tax law, including new tax rates for dividends and long-term capital gains.

Gaming The Market $70 Gaming the Market "Game theory is hot." —The Wall Street Journal Gaming the Market: Applying Game Theory to Create Winning Trading Strategies is the first book to show investors how game theory is applicable to decisions about buying and selling stocks, bonds, mutual funds, futures, and options. As a practical trading guide, Gaming the Market will help investors master this revolutionary approach, and employ it to their advantage. Although game theory has been studied since the 1940s, it has only recently been applied to the world of finance. Game theory champions garnered the 1994 Nobel Prize in Economics, and, today, this theory is used to analyze everything from the baseball strike to FCC auctions. Increasingly, game theory is making its mark as a potent tool for traders. In Gaming the Market, economist Ronald B. Shelton provides a model that enables traders to predict profitability and, as a result, make effective buy and sell decisions. Stated simply, game theory is the study of conflict based on a formal approach to decision making that views decisions as choices made in a game. Whether playing individually or in a group, each player in a conflict has more than one course of action available to him, and the outcome of the "game" depends on the interaction of the strategies pursued by each. Shelton offers real-world examples that reveal how the principles of game theory drive financial markets—and how these same principles can be used to develop winning investment strategies. Through Shelton’s organized and precise explanations—he uses familiar games such as chess and checkers to illustrate his points—readers gain a solid understanding of the key principles of game theory before applying them to actual financial market situations. Gaming the Market examines the interaction between price fluctuations and risk acceptance levels and gradually constructs a game theory model which proves that there are probability-based
