  My number one goal in writing this book is to educate American pre-retirees and retirees on the extreme value of investing in an accumulation-based annuity. In this book, you will learn how you can eliminate the advisory fees that you pay on bonds that you may currently hold within your portfolio if you have a financial advisor. We will also discuss the metric power of a strategic bond replacement, the power of zero, and the current price-to-earnings ratio of bonds. 
  A fixed indexed annuity can help you do the following with your wealth:Protect your money from market loss (fixed indexed annuities offered by highly rated annuity carriers did not lose a dime in account value in 2008 or 2009 during the worldwide recession caused by the mortgage loan crisis that resulted in the S&P 500 losing 50.1 percent of its value from March 1, 2008 to March 31, 2009)Grow your money with market-like gains (typical annual growth of five to seven-plus percent)Generate a lifetime income (your retirement will likely last 30+ years; it might be a good idea to place some of your assets into a fixed indexed annuity to set a “safety net” around a portion of the retirement income that you wish to generate) Eliminate market risk associated with bonds by replacing the fixed-income bonds in your portfolio with a fixed indexed annuityEliminate the advisory fees you are likely currently paying to generate fixed income with bonds in your portfolio by replacing them with fixed indexed annuities (the annuity companies pay the advisor, you don’t. This is called a bond replacement)  
  If the above benefits sound appealing to you, then I invite you to explore the rest of this book and ultimately invest a portion of your hard-earned wealth into a fixed indexed annuity to build a successful retirement.

  Economy of Words - Communicative...

  Markets are artifacts of language—so Douglas R. Holmes argues in this deeply researched look at central banks and the people who run them. Working at the intersection of anthropology, linguistics, and economics, he shows how central bankers have been engaging in communicative experiments that predate the financial crisis and continue to be refined amid its unfolding turmoil—experiments that do not merely describe the economy, but actually create its distinctive features.   Holmes examines the New York District Branch of the Federal Reserve, the European Central Bank, Deutsche Bundesbank, and the Bank of England, among others, and shows how officials there have created a new monetary regime that relies on collaboration with the public to achieve the ends of monetary policy. Central bankers, Holmes argues, have shifted the conceptual anchor of monetary affairs away from standards such as gold or fixed exchange rates and toward an evolving relationship with the public, one rooted in sentiments and expectations. Going behind closed doors to reveal the intellectual world of central banks,Economy of Words offers provocative new insights into the way our economic circumstances are conceptualized and ultimately managed.

  From the literary agent and author of the bestselling The First Five Pages, comes a groundbreaking new book on plot development 
  The art of plot development has become synonymous with having a "great idea."  But a great idea is merely an abstraction without characterization, journey, suspense, conflict, and context.  Analyzing the elements of classic storytelling, The Plot Thickens enables beginning and advanced writers alike to consider how these elements can combine--in many heretofore unimagined ways--to produce the kind of plot that will make their work transcendent.  A veritable fiction-writing workshop, writers will find it impossible to walk away from this invaluable guide without boundless new ideas.
