• PONAX vs Annuity

    From -hh@21:1/5 to All on Tue Aug 2 10:04:50 2022
    Well, current yields on PONAX are 4.14% ..

    Anyone to contemplate the trade space between that vs an Annuity at twice that rate? Assume the 4% rule of thumb for one's retirement spend rate on the revenue stream for both, with the unspent excess income on the Annuity being saved to earn +4% in
    some savings/investment vehicle. Q: how many years to the crossover point?

    If you want to have ANY credibility you would state exactly which annuity you are talking about.

    Need me to look up just how trivially small the amount was for the name that you couldn’t afford?
    Or I’ll make a new offer: I’ll sell you the name for just 1% of what I’ve purchased in it this year.
    But better hurry to accept; I’m planning on adding an August purchase.

    Or for yet another option, here's the recused illustration of the front cover that you were
    shown back in 2019:

    <https://huntzinger.com/photo/2019b/brochure-pg1.jpg>

    It has six (6) recused blocks: how much am I bid to uncover one of them? And the next?

    Or you can just go with Alan's offer of $1,000. Best to clarify in advance if that was to be
    paid in US, or Canadian currency.

    Oh, you mean something like an actual payment receipt? Here ya go:

    <http://huntzinger.com/photo/2019b/recused_receipt.jpg>

    FYI, its interest rate was a fixed 2.75% APR at this time, at a period where the five year
    CD rate average was less than half as much, as per:

    <https://www.bankrate.com/banking/cds/historical-cd-interest-rates/>

    I'll leave it up to Tommy to document where he was getting short term (<5 year) Bank CD
    quality grade yields (e.g., low risk) that were this good anytime within the past decade.
    The only exception I'm aware of are I-Bonds (I have these too), but only post-CoVid, plus
    without jumping through some hoops, their purchases are limited to just $10K/pp-year.

    Looks fake to me -

    Just how, specifically? Anything other than Tommy's Sour Grapes?

    WHY can't you name your fictitious annuity? Oh, because it IS fictitious.

    But I have named the annuity - - just not to you.

    BTW, did I mention that they now offer electronic deposits, and when paying in that
    fashion, I can use a credit card without any fees?

    Yes, that means free points or cash back, for a ~1% discount as a cherry on top.
    Want me to post a similarly recused electronic deposit based receipt too?

    Doing the math, 8.4% APR on $100 that only cost $99 is effectively (8.4/.99) = 8.485%

    If you want to have ANY credibility you would state exactly which annuity you are talking about.

    Other RSG readers know exactly which one it is; why don't you?

    Don't have one, do you?

    Still jealous of what others have but you do not?

    Need me to look up just how trivially small the amount was for the name that you couldn’t afford?
    Or I’ll make a new offer: I’ll sell you the name for just 1% of what I’ve purchased in it this year.
    But better hurry to accept; I’m planning on adding an August purchase.


    LOL! The bottom line is that you are BLOWING SMOKE! Put up or SHUT UP!!

    You’ve tried that gambit before & failed. As still written above, others here know
    who the issuer is. And as you’ve been told before, you’ve simply not earned that
    information because of how often you’ve not substantiated your own claims far
    too many times before.

    Plus as I’ve said, I’ve already provided a recused illustration of the front cover:

    Oh, you mean something like an actual payment receipt? Here ya go:

    <http://huntzinger.com/photo/2019b/recused_receipt.jpg>

    FYI, its interest rate was a fixed 2.75% APR at this time, at a period where the five year
    CD rate average was less than half as much, as per:

    <https://www.bankrate.com/banking/cds/historical-cd-interest-rates/>

    I'll leave it up to Tommy to document where he was getting short term (<5 year) Bank CD
    quality grade yields (e.g., low risk) that were this good anytime within the past decade.
    The only exception I'm aware of are I-Bonds (I have these too), but only post-CoVid, plus
    without jumping through some hoops, their purchases are limited to just $10K/pp-year.


    Looks fake to me -
    Just how, specifically? Anything other than Tommy's Sour Grapes?
    WHY can't you name your fictitious annuity? Oh, because it IS fictitious.
    But I have named the annuity - - just not to you.

    BTW, did I mention that they now offer electronic deposits, and when paying in that
    fashion, I can use a credit card without any fees?

    Yes, that means free points or cash back, for a ~1% discount as a cherry on top.
    Want me to post a similarly recused electronic deposit based receipt too?

    Doing the math, 8.4% APR on $100 that only cost $99 is effectively (8.4/.99) = 8.485%

    -hh

    No, what you have is a BIG FAKE! If you want you your original question you will have to NAME said annuity. BTW, if I want annuity advice I can get it for free, Asshole.

    I'll leave it up to Tommy to document where he was getting short term (<5 year) Bank CD

    Yes, that means free points or cash back, for a ~1% discount as a cherry on top.
    Want me to post a similarly recused electronic deposit based receipt too?

    Doing the math, 8.4% APR on $100 that only cost $99 is effectively (8.4/.99) = 8.485%

    No, what you have is a BIG FAKE! If you want you your original question you will have to NAME said annuity. BTW, if I want annuity advice I can get it for free, Asshole.
    I can confirm that HH has told me what the annuity is.

    SO WHAT?!
    So you're wrong when you claim the annuity doesn't exist.

    Sorry, Sunshine.

    Anyone to contemplate the trade space between that vs an Annuity
    at twice that rate? Assume the 4% rule of thumb for one's retirement
    spend rate on the revenue stream for both, with the unspent excess
    income on the Annuity being saved to earn +4% in some savings/investment
    vehicle. Q: how many years to the crossover point? >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

    If you want to have ANY credibility you would state exactly which annuity you are talking about.

    Other RSG readers know exactly which one it is; why don't you?

    Don't have one, do you?

    Still jealous of what others have but you do not?

    Need me to look up just how trivially small the amount was for the name that you couldn’t afford?
    Or I’ll make a new offer: I’ll sell you the name for just 1% of what I’ve purchased in it this year.
    But better hurry to accept; I’m planning on adding an August purchase.


    LOL! The bottom line is that you are BLOWING SMOKE! Put up or SHUT UP!!

    You’ve tried that gambit before & failed. As still written above, others here know
    who the issuer is. And as you’ve been told before, you’ve simply not earned that
    information because of how often you’ve not substantiated your own claims far
    too many times before.

    Plus as I’ve said, I’ve already provided a recused illustration of the front cover:

    If Tommy's being honest in claiming that he wants to conduct an honest comparison
    of the performance of two products, then the question of why he is insisting on knowing
    the name of the product rather than its characteristics to do the math doesn't make too
    much sense.

    Granted, it could be that he's hoping to find some basis to claim that there's a fiscal weakness
    in the provider which makes it an unacceptable risk, but we covered that angle months ago
    and that well came up dry for Tommy.

    In the meantime, there's no doubt that one can perform a 'yield vs yield' comparison and
    examine the basic structural differences of an annuity vs DIY with the understanding of
    the risk transfers involved, which don't materially change based on *who* the issuer is.

    To that end, all I need to state is that the return is 8.4% if opted as a simple annuity, or
    10% less (7.56%) if one opts for a 50% survivorship. Similarly, the CC cashback option
    is a midstream change, such that its reality isn't as good as the theoretical max of (8.4/.99)
    8.4848%; in round numbers, I'm at around the midpoint; call it 8.83%

    Meantime, Tommy can provide the numbers for the performance expectations for PONAX
    over the next twenty years.

    And we can go run an _honest comparison_ from that.

    Tom's a fool if he thinks I'm ever going to post my policy number. Similarly, he's already very
    loudly claimed that he hates all annuities/etc, such that he has no benefit to know who the issuer
    happens to be...particularly since we know enough about Tom to know that even if he changed
    his mind and now wanted to buy this annuity, he cannot do so because he does not quality.

    Not to be a big burr under Tommy's saddle, but in shopping around on the street, one
    free & easy source of Annuity quotes can be found at schwab.com I'll let Tommy
    cite a vendor whose rates are materially better than Schwab for a simple use case
    of $100K immediate fixed single life, male, at ages 55, 57, 60, 62, 65, 67. Here's their
    online estimator:

    <https://www.schwab.com/annuities/fixed-income-annuity-calculator>

    Let's see if Tommy can find anyone who's offering 15% higher returns than Schwab.

    Tom's a fool if he thinks I'm ever going to post my policy number. Similarly,
    he's already very loudly claimed that he hates all annuities/etc, such that
    he has no benefit to know who the issuer happens to be...particularly since
    we know enough about Tom to know that even if he changed his mind and
    now wanted to buy this annuity, he cannot do so because he does not quality.

    Not to be a big burr under Tommy's saddle, but in shopping around on the street, one
    free & easy source of Annuity quotes can be found at schwab.com I'll let Tommy
    cite a vendor whose rates are materially better than Schwab for a simple use case
    of $100K immediate fixed single life, male, at ages 55, 57, 60, 62, 65, 67. Here's their

    Asshole.

    I can confirm that HH has told me what the annuity is.

    SO WHAT?!

    So you're wrong when you claim the annuity doesn't exist.

    Sorry, Sunshine.

    Hey Dude, YOU are the one always barking for a cite!

    HH wants to keep the particulars from you...

    ...but I am saying that he has told me.

    I'm his cite.

    :-)

    No, you are his co-conspirator. If the Lyin' Asshole wants an honest
    comparison he will name this phony annuity. Otherwise, it is just another one of his lying misdirection escapades. I honestly don't understand the point of these histrionics - it just underscores how
    immature you libtards are.

    Nope. I'm just telling it like it is.

    The annuity HH has discussed is real.

    :-)

    If Tommy's being honest in claiming that he wants to conduct an honest comparison
    of the performance of two products, then the question of why he is insisting on knowing
    the name of the product rather than its characteristics to do the math doesn't make too
    much sense.

    Granted, it could be that he's hoping to find some basis to claim that there's a
    fiscal weakness in the provider which makes it an unacceptable risk, but we
    covered that angle months ago and that well came up dry for Tommy.

    In the meantime, there's no doubt that one can perform a 'yield vs yield' comparison and
    examine the basic structural differences of an annuity vs DIY with the understanding of
    the risk transfers involved, which don't materially change based on *who* the issuer is.

    To that end, all I need to state is that the return is 8.4% if opted as a simple annuity, or
    10% less (7.56%) if one opts for a 50% survivorship. Similarly, the CC cashback option
    is a midstream change, such that its reality isn't as good as the theoretical max
    of (8.4/.99) 8.4848%; in round numbers, I'm at around the midpoint; call it [8.43%]

    Editorial correction of a typo in the above: its not 8.83%, but 8.43%.

    Meantime, Tommy can provide the numbers for the performance expectations
    for PONAX over the next twenty years.

    And we can go run an _honest comparison_ from that.

    Tom's a fool if he thinks I'm ever going to post my policy number. Similarly,
    he's already very loudly claimed that he hates all annuities/etc, such that

    Gosh, it’s like Tommy didn’t even try. His loss (again) because he proved that

    BTW, if you want a stretch goal, +20% higher.

    Hey Dude, YOU are the one always barking for a cite!

    HH wants to keep the particulars from you...

    ...but I am saying that he has told me.

    I'm his cite.

    :-)

    No, you are his co-conspirator. If the Lyin' Asshole wants an honest

    Nope. I'm just telling it like it is.

    The annuity HH has discussed is real.

    :-)

    If Tommy's being honest in claiming that he wants to conduct an honest comparison
    of the performance of two products, then the question of why he is insisting on knowing
    the name of the product rather than its characteristics to do the math doesn't make too
    much sense.

    Granted, it could be that he's hoping to find some basis to claim that there's a
    fiscal weakness in the provider which makes it an unacceptable risk, but we
    covered that angle months ago and that well came up dry for Tommy. >>>>>>>
    In the meantime, there's no doubt that one can perform a 'yield vs yield' comparison and
    examine the basic structural differences of an annuity vs DIY with the understanding of
    the risk transfers involved, which don't materially change based on *who* the issuer is.

    To that end, all I need to state is that the return is 8.4% if opted as a simple annuity, or
    10% less (7.56%) if one opts for a 50% survivorship. Similarly, the CC cashback option
    is a midstream change, such that its reality isn't as good as the theoretical max
    of (8.4/.99) 8.4848%; in round numbers, I'm at around the midpoint; call it [8.43%]

    Editorial correction of a typo in the above: its not 8.83%, but 8.43%.

    Meantime, Tommy can provide the numbers for the performance expectations
    for PONAX over the next twenty years.

    And we can go run an _honest comparison_ from that.

    Tom's a fool if he thinks I'm ever going to post my policy number. Similarly,
    he's already very loudly claimed that he hates all annuities/etc, such that
    he has no benefit to know who the issuer happens to be...particularly since
    we know enough about Tom to know that even if he changed his mind and
    now wanted to buy this annuity, he cannot do so because he does not quality.

    Not to be a big burr under Tommy's saddle, but in shopping around on the street, one
    free & easy source of Annuity quotes can be found at schwab.com I'll let Tommy
    cite a vendor whose rates are materially better than Schwab for a simple use case
    of $100K immediate fixed single life, male, at ages 55, 57, 60, 62, 65, 67. Here's their
    online estimator:

    <https://www.schwab.com/annuities/fixed-income-annuity-calculator> >>>>>
    Let's see if Tommy can find anyone who's offering 15% higher returns than Schwab.


    Hey Lyin' Asshole, you are EARNING YOUR NICKNAME on this one!

    Gosh, it’s like Tommy didn’t even try. His loss (again) because he proved that
    he read the challenge and then crawled away.

    BTW, if you want a stretch goal, +20% higher.

    Golly, and yet another day goes past where Tommy's silence must apparently mean that
    he's been unsuccessfully searching for someone ... anyone ... with superior returns.

    To that end, I'll set aside the +20% stretch goal and the basic +15% challenge by adding a
    baby step': let's see if Tommy can even find anyone reputable who's just Schwab +10%.


    Hey Asshole, you won't name said annuity because it DOESN'T EXIST! You are a FRAUD and a LIAR!!

    It does exist, Sunshine.

    And as of this month, the provider turned 102 years old.
    Think Tommy will eventually put together all the free clues?

    No, you are his co-conspirator. If the Lyin' Asshole wants an honest
    comparison he will name this phony annuity. Otherwise, it is just
    another one of his lying misdirection escapades. I honestly don't
    understand the point of these histrionics - it just underscores how
    immature you libtards are.

    Nope. I'm just telling it like it is.

    The annuity HH has discussed is real.

    :-)

    If Tommy's being honest in claiming that he wants to conduct an honest comparison
    of the performance of two products, then the question of why he is insisting on knowing
    the name of the product rather than its characteristics to do the math doesn't make too
    much sense.

    Granted, it could be that he's hoping to find some basis to claim that there's a
    fiscal weakness in the provider which makes it an unacceptable risk, but we
    covered that angle months ago and that well came up dry for Tommy.

    In the meantime, there's no doubt that one can perform a 'yield vs yield' comparison and
    examine the basic structural differences of an annuity vs DIY with the understanding of
    the risk transfers involved, which don't materially change based on *who* the issuer is.

    To that end, all I need to state is that the return is 8.4% if opted as a simple annuity, or
    10% less (7.56%) if one opts for a 50% survivorship. Similarly, the CC cashback option
    is a midstream change, such that its reality isn't as good as the theoretical max
    of (8.4/.99) 8.4848%; in round numbers, I'm at around the midpoint; call it [8.43%]

    Editorial correction of a typo in the above: its not 8.83%, but 8.43%.

    Meantime, Tommy can provide the numbers for the performance expectations
    for PONAX over the next twenty years.

    And we can go run an _honest comparison_ from that.

    Tom's a fool if he thinks I'm ever going to post my policy number. Similarly,
    he's already very loudly claimed that he hates all annuities/etc, such that
    he has no benefit to know who the issuer happens to be...particularly since
    we know enough about Tom to know that even if he changed his mind and
    now wanted to buy this annuity, he cannot do so because he does not quality.

    Not to be a big burr under Tommy's saddle, but in shopping around on the street, one
    free & easy source of Annuity quotes can be found at schwab.com I'll let Tommy
    cite a vendor whose rates are materially better than Schwab for a simple use case

    Let's see if Tommy can find anyone who's offering 15% higher returns than Schwab.


    Hey Lyin' Asshole, you are EARNING YOUR NICKNAME on this one!

    Gosh, it’s like Tommy didn’t even try. His loss (again) because he proved that
    he read the challenge and then crawled away.

    BTW, if you want a stretch goal, +20% higher.

    Golly, and yet another day goes past where Tommy's silence must apparently mean that
    he's been unsuccessfully searching for someone ... anyone ... with superior returns.

    To that end, I'll set aside the +20% stretch goal and the basic +15% challenge by adding a
    baby step': let's see if Tommy can even find anyone reputable who's just Schwab +10%.

    It does exist, Sunshine.

    I've been asked not to, Sunshine. Sorry.

    It’s always been irrelevant to you, because you’ve been told - repeatedly - that you’re not
    able to qualify for it for yourself even if you wanted to. Yet that hasn’t stopped you from
    loudly ranting for years about it.

    Meantime, your PONAX is -6% YTD on value, which overshadows its 4% dividend rate;
    you’d financially be better off holding a Fed EE bond for 20 years.

    Hey Lyin' Asshole, you are EARNING YOUR NICKNAME on this one! >>>>>>>>
    Gosh, it’s like Tommy didn’t even try. His loss (again) because he proved that
    he read the challenge and then crawled away.

    BTW, if you want a stretch goal, +20% higher.

    Golly, and yet another day goes past where Tommy's silence must apparently mean that
    he's been unsuccessfully searching for someone ... anyone ... with superior returns.

    To that end, I'll set aside the +20% stretch goal and the basic +15% challenge by adding a
    baby step': let's see if Tommy can even find anyone reputable who's just Schwab +10%.

    -hh

    Hey Asshole, you won't name said annuity because it DOESN'T EXIST! You are a FRAUD and a LIAR!!

    It does exist, Sunshine.

    Then DISCLOSE IT, FOOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I've been asked not to, Sunshine. Sorry.

    But I can confirm that it exists

    Thanks, Alan.

    Meantime, Tommy’s teeth gnashing just isn’t new, or valid, as he knows what his
    options are to resolve what he’s been so impotently whining about. But he’ll continue
    to try to blame anyone but himself for his own free will choices.

    Meantime, Tommy’s been also showing everyone how he’s also quite lazy…

    -hh

    Hey Lyin' Asshole, I don't give a shit whether your annuity exists or not - it is irrelevant
    to me. So this will be my last comment on the subject. PERIOD.

    Sunshine, you are SO out of your league.

    Guess I'd better think about maybe refraining from telling Tommy where those ARNA profits went...
    ...or that TQQQ's YTD has been -59%.

    So you're wrong when you claim the annuity doesn't exist.

    Sorry, Sunshine.

    ...but I am saying that he has told me.

    I'm his cite.

    :-)

    No, you are his co-conspirator. If the Lyin' Asshole wants an honest
    comparison he will name this phony annuity. Otherwise, it is just
    another one of his lying misdirection escapades. I honestly don't
    understand the point of these histrionics - it just underscores how
    immature you libtards are.

    Nope. I'm just telling it like it is.

    The annuity HH has discussed is real.

    :-)

    If Tommy's being honest in claiming that he wants to conduct an honest comparison
    of the performance of two products, then the question of why he is insisting on knowing
    the name of the product rather than its characteristics to do the math doesn't make too
    much sense.

    Granted, it could be that he's hoping to find some basis to claim that there's a
    fiscal weakness in the provider which makes it an unacceptable risk, but we
    covered that angle months ago and that well came up dry for Tommy.

    In the meantime, there's no doubt that one can perform a 'yield vs yield' comparison and
    examine the basic structural differences of an annuity vs DIY with the understanding of
    the risk transfers involved, which don't materially change based on *who* the issuer is.

    To that end, all I need to state is that the return is 8.4% if opted as a simple annuity, or
    10% less (7.56%) if one opts for a 50% survivorship. Similarly, the CC cashback option
    is a midstream change, such that its reality isn't as good as the theoretical max
    of (8.4/.99) 8.4848%; in round numbers, I'm at around the midpoint; call it [8.43%]

    Editorial correction of a typo in the above: its not 8.83%, but 8.43%.

    Meantime, Tommy can provide the numbers for the performance expectations
    for PONAX over the next twenty years.

    And we can go run an _honest comparison_ from that. >>>>>>>>>>>>
    Tom's a fool if he thinks I'm ever going to post my policy number. Similarly,
    he's already very loudly claimed that he hates all annuities/etc, such that
    he has no benefit to know who the issuer happens to be...particularly since
    we know enough about Tom to know that even if he changed his mind and
    now wanted to buy this annuity, he cannot do so because he does not quality.

    Not to be a big burr under Tommy's saddle, but in shopping around on the street, one
    free & easy source of Annuity quotes can be found at schwab.com I'll let Tommy
    cite a vendor whose rates are materially better than Schwab for a simple use case
    of $100K immediate fixed single life, male, at ages 55, 57, 60, 62, 65, 67. Here's their
    online estimator:

    <https://www.schwab.com/annuities/fixed-income-annuity-calculator>

    Let's see if Tommy can find anyone who's offering 15% higher returns than Schwab.

    Sunshine, you are SO out of your league.

    It does seem that as the Market has slip from QT and Russia/Ukraine that Mr “multi-millionaire” Tommy’s Equities investments portfolio has invariably tanked.
    Any over/under on what month that Tommy’s losses (on paper) exceeded $1M?

    I can admit that my own portfolio has lost that much this year, but then again,
    I can remain in an aggressive investment posture than the old man for easily another decade before I need to be concerned about staging for RMDs, particularly as enabled by guaranteed revenue stream assets (such as annuity!) which means one isn’t compelled to cash out Equities during a down market.

    Guess I'd better think about maybe refraining from telling Tommy where those ARNA
    profits went...
    ...or that TQQQ's YTD has been -59%.

    With the next quarter now in the books, it looks like To,May’s previously declared “safe” PONAX is at $10.28, so basically -14% YTD. That makes
    it a 22% delta versus the annuity which I ”doubled down” on earlier this year.

    Meantime, TQQQ is at $18.90, so it’s down a mere -78% YTD. Is Tommy
    buying any of that back yet?

    Well, with the current trend in Fed interest rate hikes, it is technically possible that old
    Tommy could eventually find a suitable product before he turns age 80...

    But what's also relevant is how Tommy's Market claims dried up last summer: there's
    been no brags about new market gambits and their outcomes for months & months. Tommy's lack of crowing gives the appearance that he's been silent about losing and
    instead of averaging “five digit” gains each month, he's been losing at a "five digits" clip.

    Meantime, PONAX is down again, -14% YTD.
