In March this year I had the privilege of listen to Jack Marion, founder of Advantage Compendium, Ltd., speak at the American Equity conference in Las Vegas. He is a true champion and defender of our industry. Below is a link to his website. There is more information about annuities and their real life comparisons to other investment options than any one person could possibly absorb.He also has some great articles that debase the annuity bashing articles we have seen lately.http://www.indexannuity.org/index.html
