They just merged with a large company Risk Strategies but Parady is being run by the same people and doing the same thing they have been doing for years. We have done Very well with them. We are also keeping a chunk of Cash on the sideline.

Finally a measured response with facts. Totally agree. I have my entire "minimum dignity floor" covered with gauranteed income - 2 small pensions, some annuities and of course the best annuity - Social Security.
If these annuity haters don't like annuities, they should not take their Social security.
