Life Settlements: A Risky And Wild Investment

As investors seek options that are resistant to the instability of the Real Estate and Securities markets many new options (and old ones) are being touted by promoters. Some are safe, others entail serious risks. This article is a great summary of issues to think about in Life Settlements.

(Dow Jones) Life settlements are not wildly popular investments. But they are wild investments. And to that end, federal regulators and lawmakers are fast at work trying to tame these slippery products, which promise a much higher return over more traditional conservative offerings.

A life settlement is a transaction in which an individual with a life insurance policy sells that policy to another person, who then assumes responsibility for paying the premiums.

For a great overview of the RISKS involved in these policies see the entire article:

We live in a fast paced society where we are skipping from work to family duties in order to arrange our life to better. In this rush there is almost no room for us to take care of the cleanliness of our homes. After every exhausting day when you ran between work and home, you simply don’t have the energy and the time to do the cleaning.
