60 billion dollars being withdrawn from bond instruments in the last few
weeks. Investors worldwide are selling bonds by the boat load and that
means bond prices are plummeting. Bonds funds which hold a basket of bonds
are dropping even faster than the bonds themselves and many investors holding
bonds are taking huge losses.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

font-family:Verdana;color:black'>You have to wonder how investors didn’t see
this coming. Many an analyst have been warning investors to be wary of bonds
for over a year now including bond king Bill Gross and banking giant Bank of
America. Still there are many main stream financial advisors who have been
doing the exact opposite and telling investors over the last year or so to
load up on bonds for their steady income.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

names to confuse you but whether it’s a city bond, a corporate bond or a
government bond, the idea is the same. You give someone your money and they
promise to pay it back in the form of an IOU and that’s the bond.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

font-family:Verdana;color:black'>With the mountains of government debt,
mortgage debt, corporate and personal debt that exist today, much like a
cloud raining bananas, (the price of bananas would drop) when it rains bonds,
the price of bonds drop as a result of the over supply, and its this drop in
price due to the current oversupply that we are witnessing. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p><font size=2 color=black face=Verdana><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Verdana;color:black'>The drop is being predicated by the massive
selling of bonds by investors, and this selling was in part brought on by
Federal Reserve Chief Ben Bernanke announcing a proposed date to the
beginning of the end of his quantitative easing program (QE) which he
announced a week or 2 back.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

a month, they literally propped up the market for bonds, and now that they
put a possible time line on when they might stop buying, the selling has
began.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p><font size=2 color=black face=Verdana><span style='font-size:10.0pt;

bonds funds we witnessed in the last few years was most likely only because
the Feds were buying billions of dollars worth of them and subsequently
supporting almost the entire bond market with their monetary shenanigans.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p><font size=2 color=black face=Verdana><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Verdana;color:black'>An annuity is a contract between an
insurance company and investor that stipulates a payment of some sort to the
investor in return for the investors initial or time payment to the insurance
company. You give them money and they pay you back over time or on a specific
date in the future. Annuities sold by U. S. companies may have fancy names,
are structured in a variety of ways and are usually not guaranteed by the U.
S Government.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p><font size=2 color=black face=Verdana><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Verdana;color:black'>I can’t recall an investor I’ve met who was
glad they bought an American sold annuity after the fact and in my opinion
they are one of the worst investments you can make. I view them as overpriced
life insurance policies concocted by the insurance companies to boost their
profits.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=2 color=black face=Verdana><span style='font-size:10.0pt;

<p><font size=2 color=black face=Verdana><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Verdana;color:black'>There is an annuity product I do recommend
however and that is a Swiss Annuity.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=2 color=black face=Verdana><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Verdana;color:black'> <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=2 color=black face=Verdana><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Verdana;color:black'>Unlike their American counter parts, Swiss
Annuities have many advantages.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=2 color=black face=Verdana><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Verdana;color:black'>Annuities sold here may restrict your access
to your funds, entice you with a bloated death benefit then may charge you a
yearly percentage fee on top of a sales fee.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=2 color=black face=Verdana><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Verdana;color:black'> <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=2 color=black face=Verdana><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Verdana;color:black'>There is usually a healthy cancellation fee
should you want your annuity cancelled and your “guarantee” is only as good
as the companies balance sheet. They obviously also located here in the U.S.
meaning they are subject to U.S. jurisdiction by the IRS and the US court
system. Your money is held in U. S. dollars and usually invested in the
stock market. In other words, you are US based in every sense.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=2 color=black face=Verdana><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Verdana;color:black'> <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=2 color=black face=Verdana><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Verdana;color:black'>Swiss Annuities on the other hand have no
tie up period; there is no yearly fee, only a small cancellation fee in the
first 12 months. They may not be subject to U.S. courts jurisdiction
(although now you do have to report them to the IRS), there is no bloated
death benefit, you can denominate them in another currency or even gold
(hence protecting you against a falling U.S. dollar), you can get your money
anytime you want and even borrow against its value.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=2 color=black face=Verdana><span style='font-size:10.0pt;

<p><font size=2 color=black face=Verdana><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Verdana;color:black'>Should you move to another country, you can
have your money sent to almost anywhere in the world. There is also no social
security number required to open a Swiss Annuity, a testament to one of their
obvious advantages. Your money does not have to be in stocks but instead is
can be backed by a variety of options not typically available here in US.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=2 color=black face=Verdana><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Verdana;color:black'>You can designate a beneficiary in case of
your demise and you may elect any payment schedule you like, from a lump sum
on a certain date, structured over many years or even a get guaranteed
for life payout. In a word, they are flexible.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=2 color=black face=Verdana><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Verdana;color:black'> <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=2 color=black face=Verdana><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Verdana;color:black'>I view Swiss Annuities as a great way to easily
park money offshore versus other types of foreign accounts. Swiss Annuities
require just a few forms and your funds are either wired or paid by your
personal check.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=2 color=black face=Verdana><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Verdana;color:black'> <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=2 color=black face=Verdana><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Verdana;color:black'>They usually pay an interest and a dividend
and the payments can accrue interest free until you withdraw the funds. They <em><b><i><u><font
face=Verdana><span style='font-family:Verdana;font-weight:bold'>are</span></font></u></i></b></em>
regarded as a type of retirement account so withdrawals under a certain age
can have IRS penalties but for the most part you can send them as much as you
want and that amount may accrue dividends and interest free of yearly tax
assessments. They do have a load fee thanks to the IRS new requirements but I
opened one and paid the fee as I though it was well worth it.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=2 color=black face=Verdana><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Verdana;color:black'> <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=2 color=black face=Verdana><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Verdana;color:black'>Why Switzerland?<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=2 color=black face=Verdana><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Verdana;color:black'> <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=2 color=black face=Verdana><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Verdana;color:black'>Although your annuity will not be guaranteed
by any US government entity (annuities usually aren’t here either), consider
that here in US we estimate there has been over 75,000 bank and insurance
company failures in the last 100 years. In fact, bank failings seem to
be a weekly event lately nowadays.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=2 color=black face=Verdana><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Verdana;color:black'> <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=2 color=black face=Verdana><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Verdana;color:black'>Compare that to the last 150 years in
Switzerland where there have been ZERO failures of either. Swiss bank and
insurance laws are strict and Switzerland is the banking center of the world.
They maintain a sound monetary policy and the Swiss Franc is regarded as the
“Flight to Safety” currency. By keeping your annuity denominated in Swiss
Francs, you may help protect against our insane money printing ramifications
and even a possible default of the U. S. monetary system.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=2 color=black face=Verdana><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Verdana;color:black'> <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=2 color=black face=Verdana><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Verdana;color:black'>Unthinkable but a possibility none the less.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=2 color=black face=Verdana><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Verdana;color:black'> <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=2 color=black face=Verdana><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Verdana;color:black'>As always, check with your CPA on the laws
surrounding Swiss Annuities but you may have to look hard for an accountant
that is familiar with these types of foreign vehicles.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=2 color=black face=Verdana><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Verdana;color:black'> <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=2 color=black face=Verdana><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Verdana;color:black'>In conclusion, I have always said, there’s a
reason why no one ever evades Switzerland. It’s where everybody keeps their
money. Maybe you should keep some there too.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
