Try putting a minor amount (<1%) in VanEck Russia ETF (RSX) to hold indefinitely and see what happens.

Don't trust annunities, especially since the fiduciary requirement was overturned in 2018. It now feels like a giant scam. However, thanks for your input

An annuity could be just the right thing to buy into depending on your situation and risk tolerance. To each his own…

But...Putin’s Ruble Workaround Still Leaves Bond Payments in Doubt

Annuity salespeople have to put bread on the table.

Yeah, I want to do this but TreasuryDirect.gov doesn't have very good reviews.

I answered this 3 weeks ago ENERGY STOCKS LIKE DEVON and I hope you did

I have $250,000 to invest for income. I'm 63, keeping lots of cash on hand, own my home, not working and have no income currently. My expenses are minimal, around $1800 month. What would you invest in? can play with $75000 in high risk, the rest medium risk.

A couple of weeks ago I mentioned a couple energy stocks as i think it was then and even more so now that oil related products were going to skyrocket in price.
Companies like Devon Exxon Chevron who just announced a 10 billion dollar stock buy back program are going to make a ton of money.
Simply put the major US oil companies have not drilling for new oil right now because of the present administrations policies regarding fossil fuel energy.
The problem is you just cant turn on these wells that have been shut down as the workers have moved on and most importantly their are very few truck drivers out there to transport the oil.
in an earlier post i predicted the price of a barrel of oil Brent would reach 110 i was wrong it has hit 123 I believe . I predicted gas at 4 bucks a gallon and i was wrong as the national average is much higher.
If the US stops buying Russian oil which i think they should i think the national average price of gas could go to $5 and maybe 8 bucks in part of California.
High gas prices all areas of transportation and we will see inflations like never before

In what way? For a government site it is fine. I use it every month to buy T-Bills.

Real estate funds or possibly an Annuity fund. Talk to Parady Investiments… no pressure. See what they have to offer.

Parady, REALLY? NO WAY. Hidden fees. How do you think they pay for all their lavish promotions and their billboards all around TV.

Too late…. The world is coming to an end!

I'll take another look at it but it seemed to be asking weird questions to set up an account. Thanks!

I don't remember that part. I registered years ago. Most finance related sites now use two factor authorization for access. Maybe that makes setup more complicated.
