I compare immediate annuities and qualified longevity annuities, when to make insurance claims and when to avoid them, CLUE reports and answer some listener’s emails.

I go through the market news talking about Activision buying the company that makes Candy Crush, Tesla’s plans for a more affordable model and Bill Gross’s push for the feds to begin “operation switch” to revive economy. Other topics discussed are:

• Pros and cons of immediate annuities and qualified longevity annuities.
• When and when not to make insurance claims.
• How insurance companies use CLUE Reports.
• Why the 4% rule could be in danger and why you need 3 years of portfolio draws as safe money.

I also respond to listener questions regarding how to allocate $300,000 of safe money, how and when to shop for long term care insurance and handling rental property when approaching retirement.
