Plugging Insurance Companies (Huntsville, Alabama United States) March 8, 2005 - 2.0/5 stars
The author promotes the use of "investment" grade insurance policies from
which one can borrow. This is the old "keep the IRS from getting your
money" scam.
He downplays 401ks and Roth IRAs and even dividend free
stock purchases to promote insurance. To do this he downplays the risk of
many of these high-paying insurance companies by redefining the standard
way of evaluating them.
This increases risk which he never mentions. The
idea is that because of tax policies of the government the spendable income
from insurance will be greater than that of 401ks.
But by the time he is
finished that is actually not the case. He has the investor periodically
taking all the equity out of his home, and putting far more money into the
insurance than he ever would in a 401k so I would hope the takehome would
be more.
I have a better plan. Buy a high quality set of non-dividend
paying stocks and hold them until old age. Problem solved. Frankly, this
book has so many holes in its logic that I am incoherent. This is the
worst of the financial planning craze.
Success in this field depends on
the ability to identify potential products and to package them. Here the
solution is whole life insurance.
