We have to see those as what they really are: backtested numbers are garbage and should be illegal.&amp;nbsp;   An index annuity is not a market product, and it\u2019s not a security. It is a fixed annuity and an efficient delivery system for an income rider guarantee.&amp;nbsp;   Don\u2019t be the sucker at the table. If you get pitched a backtested number plus a \u201cgenerous\u201d upfront bonus, that\u2019s how you know that they\u2019re in it to get a commission out of you.&amp;nbsp;   &amp;nbsp; &quot;It could work in your favor, or It might not, but it's not free money. Annuities are for-profit businesses. Don\u2019t buy the dream because you're going to own the contractual reality.&quot; \u2014&amp;nbsp; Stan The Annuity Man.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Connect with The Annuity Man:&amp;nbsp; Website: http:\/\/theannuityman.com\/&amp;nbsp; Email: Stan@TheAnnuityMan.com&amp;nbsp; YouTube: https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCCXKKxvVslbeGAlEc5sra2g&amp;nbsp; Get a Quote Today: https:\/\/www.stantheannuityman.com\/annuity-calculator!
