Is There a Way to Navigate a Turbulent Market with Confidence?

 Let me first start by saying that there is no one “magical solution” to ensure a

comfortable financial future. Everyone has a unique set of challenges and

opportunities. The “right” solution for you is not necessarily the “right” solution

for your neighbor.

Can you imagine if we got our medical advice from a doctor who knew nothing about us? First of all, no doctor in her right mind would dare try to prescribe a cure without diagnosing her patient for fear of a huge lawsuit. Second of all, with something as important as health, there is no way we would agree to some medication or surgical procedure without insisting that our doctor tinker around with us and ask us some questions about ourselves! 

Yet, when it comes to our financial health--something every bit as important as our physical health--we are often ready to believe anything we hear without insisting that an professional take the care to at least ask us the question: “How are you feeling?”

(Sigh)

So, how are you feeling? Are you like many people out there who feel like they are on an emotional roller-coaster when watching their retirement account? On top of the world when the market does well; down in the dumps when it turns sour? Maybe you were told that you simply must be in the stock market if you want to have any chance of staying ahead of inflation so you have “stuck it out” in hopes for the best.

Or are you like many other people who have simply given up in the market? Maybe you have become so fed-up with the market that you have decided to keep all of your investments in a money market account or CD’s thinking, “Hey, I might not be earning much interest, but I’m not losing any money, either!  I’d rather play it safe than risk my hard-earned dollars in the stock market.

“Hope for the best” or “play it safe”?  Which do you prefer?

When you put it that way, it doesn’t really seem that either choice is clearly preferable. 

There are downsides to both. After all, what if you hope for the best and get the worst? What if the stock market keeps on tumbling down? What if you play it too safe and the market rallies? Are you going to be kicking yourself while you see your neighbors jumping for joy?

In response to an overwhelming amount of people facing these difficult questions, the financial services industry asked a question of their own:

What if you could “hope for the best” AND “play it safe”?

The answer could be as simple as looking into various incoming bearing products that may just suit your needs.

Sound confusing? It is! An example or two will help.
 

Please return the attached  form for a FREE, multi-color, compliance-approved report illustrating how the Income Guarantee Contract works.

I’m sorry if it seems like I’m being sneaky by asking you to request a FREE report rather than just telling you about it. Actually, I’m doing it for the right reasons. Our legal department wants to be VERY CAREFUL that I am not over-stating the features of the Income Guarantee contract. It probably would NOT surprise you to know that there are plenty of unscrupulous salespeople out there more than willing to “sell” you on an idea without giving you the whole truth. You’ll remember, I started my message saying there is no one magical solution!

 I’ll be the first to say that the Income Guarantee contract could be 100% WRONG for you, but if it sounds like it might be right, I would urge you to

Request a FREE report by sending back the attached form in the postage-paid envelope.

 I think some people are apprehensive about seeking out information on different ideas because they don’t want to be “suckered” by a slick-talking salesperson. At the same time, it makes sense to know your options and few people know the Income Guarantee option exists. I have included my phone number in case you want to make sure I’m flesh and blood and not some marketing machine from Hackensack, New Jersey (I’m from Pewaukee), but most people would rather just request the FREE report in writing rather than risk “getting sold to” on the phone. Fine with me.

Note, however, that if you do request the FREE report, I would like to call you to confirm you have received it. The reason I call is to show you that I behave professionally and follow-up accordingly.  Some people still like that. If you would like to schedule a time to meet at that point, great! If not, that’s fine, too! I got into this business to help people, not to hound them into submission.

I believe as I said before that financial success doesn’t come in a bottle. I hope you understand that there is NO WAY I will recommend ANY type of financial strategy without learning about you first. If I can play some role in helping you navigate a turbulent market with confidence, I would be sincerely grateful.

Yours Very Truly,
