There are hundreds of salesmen/women out there selling similar products. 4% cap is on the low side.. keep loking for a higher cap while not giving up the security and safety that brought inrested you in the first place. You can do much better.

Read your article "Inflation Proof your Retirement Portfolio".

No metion of Annuities??? I've been looking at the Fixed Index Annuities. Looks good to me. My principle stays secure, never to go down, and if I fix to the S&P 500 Index, I will increase as it does. There will be a Cap, so if Index sky rockets I can't participate. However, some have guarantees up to 4%. Seem good to me to not risk my money and grow it at least 4%!!! I know I lose control, however some plans allow you to access your principle upto 10%, for those times of need.
