However if you want to diversify and remove the single company risk, you can also pick GlaxoSmithKline (GSK 5.9%), AT&T (T 5.4%), British Petroleum (BP 5.2%), Southern Co (SO 5%) etc, in any combination or ratio that you like. Remember, my premise was that I can get the same 5% as the proposed annuity payout except, my way, preserves my principle, the annuity does not.
